--- Quote from: jimmer on December 30, 2016, 07:26:57 am ---They are chinese clones of this board https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12640 --- End quote --- I got a similar "Pro Micro" knockoff and successfully loaded a few Arduino "sketches" on it, but haven't figured out how to load KADESTICK firmwares on it yet. IIRC, Jon managed to do this, but I have no idea what software/procedures he used. :dunno --- Quote from: jimmer on December 30, 2016, 07:26:57 am ---I decided the easiest approach was just pile in and use FLIP to load the hex I built and see what happens. But FLIP doesn't connect to the micro board. Not having used FLIP before I got out a new Minimus board and used flip successfully to load a hex to it. --- End quote --- FLIP works with the DFU and Atmel DFU bootloaders, but not with the Arduino bootloader. --- Quote from: jimmer on December 30, 2016, 07:26:57 am ---I'm guessing I need one of these pullup resistors on the RST or HWD pins like was done on the mattair board. --- End quote --- The Mattair board only needs a pullup resistor because of the "Atmel DFU" bootloader -- the same Mattair board with a different bootloader does not require a pullup resistor. --- Quote ---There are three bootloaders available. Please select below. CDC: Recommended! Arduino and AVRDUDE compatible DFU: FLIP compatible Atmel DFU: FLIP compatible (External pullup on E2/B pin required!) --- End quote --- Scott |

just wanted to chime in to this thread and say that the TX still makes minimus AVRs. They only sell to academia and hacker spaces these days tho. I'm personal friends with many of the TX guys including the founder and have a large batch of them here. If there is enough demand for them from the arcade scene, i can forward off your comments to them. I just got into the arcade scene myself and bought a bartop kit from ebay. Haven't wired up player 2 yet but so far I'm having a blast. :applaud: |

I'll forward the message off to them if i get more feedback..I do have some questions tho. From what i understand the Kade softare is still available and is open source but the add-on boards are no longer available, correct? Does any group or person make an aftermarket version of the board? What is a reasonable price that you would consider for the minimus these days? I know they originally went for $30USD and gradually went down before they pulled them. |
