I am trying to upload the new code, but receive the following error.

Code: Select all

Arduino: 1.6.10 (Mac OS X), Board: "SparkFun Pro Micro, ATmega32U4 (5V, 16 MHz)"

sorry - this program has been built without plugin support
exit status 1
Error compiling for board SparkFun Pro Micro.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Also, I tried the capacitor fix. But either way when I connected the board to my pi3 for testing, itimmediately forced closed Emulation Station referencing an error regarding the joystick. Sometimes, it will register a few button presses before closing, but it's definitely erratic.

Code: Select all

I have a question hopefully someone can answer. I have my SD card that I put emulation station on that I used with my first GBZ, it used a teensey on helder's older board, the red one.

Now with his all in one with the Atmega, I have basically the whole gbz built, but I'm still not getting button presses. I'm using the same SD card for testing.

Question: is it possible I'm not getting button presses because I first set up emulation station with the teensey "keyboard" layout, and now the AIO is a gamepad? Or should emulation station recognize it automatically?

Getting kinda frustrated. I had no problems at all with the teensey, and I know it's something I'm doing wrong because both AIO boards wouldn't be bad and I get no presses on either.

Thanks.

I know it works as I've tested all controllers but maybe you need to reprogram the Retropi with new input. I'm not familiar with the options to do so but someone here definitely should know.

Hi Helder,
If Iam not on your List allready, i'd like to have 2 all in one boards ( shipping to Germany)

Thanks a lot

People please stop asking, I'm not taking anymore preorders until I have the current batch boards to ship out. Once I do and test them will I open up another preorder batch and sell off the 25 from this batch and there is no reservations for those.

Like I have said numerous time there will be another pre order right after these boards arrive and then you can all get as many as you want.

I got it working. Question, does the power / ground from the "USB from pi zero" not send power to the Atmega? I hadn't used any of the separate USB ports other than the main one to the pie, because obviously it needs it for the Atmega. The reason I wasnt getting button presses is because the Atmega wasn't getting power. I had to connect 5v and ground to one of the spare hub ports (in addition to the main connector), and then everything worked. Is that normal?

I was just a little curious as to why you put the joystick mount on the side of the xyab buttons instead of the d-pad. Just seems like most people would mount it under the d-pad on the portable to save space and reduce the amount of wire used.

Actually it is under the D-pad...
Have a better look at the picture

I just got my All in one today. So sexy

[gizmo]

Got mine yesterday, it's gorgeous, thanks Helder! Now I just need to find the time to get started. I'll definitely order another when the big pre-order comes around.

On a side note I'd just like to show my appreciation for everything Helder is doing, but also his patience. Which quite frankly, is probably wearing a little thin now with the constant barrage of new posters enquiring about board availability. It must be incredibly frustrating and time consuming to keep repeating the same thing over and over again. I think perhaps the project is bringing in a very diverse set of people and particularly ones who don't frequent forums much... Anyway, thanks for all the hard work Helder, it's truly appreciated by the community.

Having a look at the picture it is under the abxy as the holes are above the speaker.

I have no idea of how to make it work on a MAC I use Windows, but if the program is the same you need to choose the COM Port for the board when programming.

Can you show me wiring of your build? It sounds like you have a short or are draining too much power. I know it says USB from Pi on the board but you need to feed 5V and GND (can be from anywhere as long as it's all connected) from the power supply aka the powerboost.
Do Not power it off of the Pi as it can't handle it and will likely cause power loss issues.

I've also linked a USBasp programmer on the first post that I recommend everyone to get if you plan to reprogram the board, it goes alot smoother and is quicker and easier with no divers to mess with or board installations. It's less than $3.

Because of unavailable space to route there near the Dpad I opted to the other side where I had space to route the traces from the Atmega to the solder holes.

Is there any chance that you can release the files of the AIO board??? Because I'm from Argentina and there's no way that I can receive the board in my country 'cause of customs problems.
Could you please consider uploading 'em to Github or wherever, if you don't mind of course.
Cheers

In time I'll release the files although I'm under no obligation to do so, but this isn't going to happen over night.

I'll be good for 1 board when you do the next pre-order or sale Not only will this save time and make the build easier, itll save space and make the build more clean

Honestly. Unless you've taken delivery of the board, or are asking questions about one you've ordered, don't bother posting. Endlessly asking him to "add me to your list", "count me in for 1" is just cluttering up the thread.
