Title: Is this ATmega328 devise Kade capable?
Post by: Locke141 on November 10, 2014, 12:46:37 pm

So I have had one of a arduino laying around so I was wondering if I could use the Kade loader to make it into a fight stick.

I live in Tanzania so getting a real kade will her is not an option.

If you download the program then go under beta you will see that it is supported there.  To what degree?  I don't know.  Maybe talk to the dev and see if he can help you with a personal file.

I haven't worked with that specific board, but it is in the pulldown menu of Loader, so that's good news.

Do you have the "serial programmer cable" mentioned in the directions?

Right now the only firmware that is compiled for that board is the "LED blink test", so you'll need to compile a hex file from the source code (or get Jon to do it ) so you can use "File -- Load HEX File" menu.

Which firmware were you wanting to use? (HID joystick, MAME P1 defaults, etc.)

Nope, don't have the serial programmer cable, I did oder a usb attachment thinking with female pin adapters but thats not it.

I want to make a fight stick for my brother so I was thinking one of the newer consoles. I know he has a PS3 and a xbox 360 so if I could get either to work it one would make me happy.

You might be able to adapt/recompile the KADE PS3 firmware source code, but the 360 has some kind of encryption IIRC.

Thanks for your help guys. I think I'm going to hold off until I get an official model.

I'll use on of my zero delay encoders for now and will replies it with a cade later on down the road.

The atmega328 AVR is not compatible with KADE firmwares as the chip does not have a USB controller and therefore no USB support.
The port provides USB-to-Serial communication only (appears as a virtual COM port on host computer) and is provided to make programming easy from Arduino software.
