Important Note!
It's likely you need to copy the two needed Script's again to the MiSTer after an OS Update.

They are all looking great, many Thanks.
I already add them to the Repo.

Special Thanks for Bomb Jack, that's one of my favorite games.

Here is the list of all currently available XBM's.

Is this OK?

Update
tty2oled slightly reworked, thanks to RealLarry.
New Video added to Post #1.

Yeah, it's a kind of magic! 8-)
Deriving from my own experiences you can enable and use 115200 Baud with all Arduinos and all the time, even with the small ESP8266's. While experimenting with their sketches I sent the XBM pictures over and over again and got no failure. So my recommendation is speeeeeed.

Is that your MiSTer in that nice BarTop? What's that type of display there as it's marquee?

The PCB's are still untested :roll: Maybe it's better to use temporarily cables for testing before you fix it.
Let us know about the progress and drop some pictures.

Update
The USB-Version Installer/Updater and all Scripts using now an ini file which is downloaded by the Main Installer at first.
Means you need to re-download and run the Main installer to get it working.

Use the command

Code: Select all

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tty2oled/main/update_tty2oled.sh -O /media/fat/Scripts/update_tty2oled.sh
to get the actual Main installer which should update everything else.

If you run into problems try a fresh install.
Use

Code: Select all

rm /etc/init.d/S60tty2oled; rm /usr/bin/tty2oled; rm -R /media/fat/tty2oledpics/; rm /media/fat/Scripts/update_tty2oled.sh; rm /media/fat/Scripts/tty2oled.ini;
via ssh or from a local session to remove any tty2oled related files and folders.

Report Problems here please.

Yup, but looking at them they are wired up correctly, there shouldn't be anything wrong with them. It seems identical to just running wires to the arduino-equivalent.

Also I am partly doing it to provide feedback :)

Update
The Installer/Updater got some updates.
The installed components can be configured
with the INI File /media/fat/Scripts/tty2oled.ini
which will be downloaded and/or updated from the Installer.

New INI-Option
USBMODE
Set to „yes“ if you use the USB Version of the Arduino Sketch.
This Option enables the Download and Update of the Pictured on the MiSTer.
Set to „no“ (default) if you use the SD or the old Standard Version of the Sketch.
Pictures will not been downloaded to the MiSTer.

I'm not much of an electronics guy. I managed to order the right parts, but I could use some suggestions or guidance on a simple solution for wiring the TTGO to the OLED screen.

I saw this. What I'm asking is for some suggestions as to how to wire these up per the diagram. Breadboard? Is there a breakout board with terminals?

Understand.
I used an universal pcb with pins connected from top to bottom and solderd the isolated wires directly.
For the ESP and the display I used female solder pins on the pcb and plugged the components in.

A pcb like this:

or
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0728HZHTR

But there are pcb layouts available as well at github.
