--- Quote from: kiwasabi on June 23, 2014, 10:39:26 pm ---The KADE firmware for spinner/trackball actually has a bug where if you spin hard left or right it will switch directions. A programmer who is working on a project with me was able to fix that bug though, so if you want the working .hex file let me know.

Any chance he'd donate the bug-fix related source code for Open Source use in the KADE project?

I'm pretty sure Jon, Kevin and Bruno would be very happy to give him credit/recognition for a bug fix.   ;D

Oh we will absolutely give any source code we create for Kade. They also worked on a spinner/trackball -> joystick firmware for us that I need to get from them so we can bug fix that as well. It's basically a workaround so we can get spinners working on Android. You can't set the mouse position on Android like you can on Windows, so using a mouse-based input for the spinner is out.

Thanks.  Always good to see people pitching in on an open source project like KADE.   ;D

D_Harris:
Thank.

I did some searching and assume that this is the place to get the controller. http://northamerica.emukade.com/product-category/encoders/

And that what I need is one of the following, correct?:

1) "DIY KADE miniArcade kit complete"
2) "DIY KADE miniArcade kit no AVR"
3) "KADE miniArcade- Red, White, and Blue"

I'm just not sure where to get the "new KADE miniArcade firmware" you mentioned.

I can solder, but not much more than that. Anything involving software requires step-by-step instructions, which I've found to be rare.

Thanks.

YEs depending on how much effort you want to put into building it -- the "complete kit" has the minimus included if you do not have one -- the other kit is without the Minimus AVR -- then the red\white\blue one is already assembled so no soldering needed.

the firmware can be downloaded here : ( http://kadevice.com/loader-software/ ) and for the BETA additions (ie. trackball\spinner programming) you will need to follow the link that says "this page" in this area of the linked page :
