MAME Single Player Controller - TAB or P Key????

<< < (3/4) > >>

PL1:
+1 on using the KADE firmware. (Release date in about ~2-4 weeks.)

It gives you 20 programmable inputs, two dedicated inputs (Reset and "HWB"), +5v, and ground.

If you use a Neutrik USB A-B feedthru, you can have the USB B on the outside of the case and plug the AVR into the USB A on the inside.  Since the Minimus AVR doesn't have mounting holes, the feedthru acts as the mount.



With the right current limiting resistor, you can use the 5v for some LED admin buttons. (No fancy RGB/animation, but single-color, constant-on LED buttons would work fine.)  You can print custom inserts for the LED buttons on Avery 18665 or 8665 adhesive labels.

Nice idea for a super clean mount. :applaud:

Does the KADE license allow commercial use of their free software?  ???

D'OH!!!  I forgot that OP was building a commercial product.  :embarassed:

I made sure that the team is aware of this thread and they will probably throw in their 2 cents soon. (or would that be 2 pence for Jon.  ;D)

P.S. I was wondering why the team members weren't posting very often until I added up the numbers from Kickstarter -- they're probably a little busy with assembling the 289 KADEs (thats 21,097 solder connections) for Kickstarter supporters.  :o

Hi,
KADE is open source software and open hardware.  It is acceptable to use in commercial products but derived product must adhere to the same GNU/GPL license (i.e. software and hardware should be open) and KADE should be attributed.  We make this open so that folks can contribute, innovate, improve the technology and make things better for the community.

I would expect any commercially produced stick using KADE software or hardware (including KADE firmware) to be made open so that others can make the stick to the same specification as the retail stick by downloading the instructions, schematics, bill of materials etc and building themselves.

Thanks
Jon (KADE Co-Founder)
