  • tty2oled updates to support SD- and USB-Version with 115200 baud
  • SD-Version updated to support 115200 Baud
  • The Standard-Version will no longer get updates because of the new USB-Version.
Please test the USB Version and report here.

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.

Univ_PCB_Ctr_Side.jpg

A pcb like this:
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08F2TS7ZC/
or
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0728HZHTR

But there are pcb layouts available as well at github.

I have the most stupid question - apoligies I am not up on some of these components.

Is it just the TTGO-T8 v1.7.1 board that I need and the SSD1322, I also see mention of something called an Arduino.

Looking at the pic with Gauntlet II ( viewtopic.php?p=21060#p21060 ), I only see one board and the LCD. If I need the Arduino, is there a specific one I need ?

Thank you !

Hi,
you need only an ESP32 Controller and the Display.
„Arduino“ meant in this project an ESP32 Controller which is programmed with the „Arduino“ programming Software.

The TTGO T8 v1.7.1 ESP32 was my recommendation if you want to use an SD card but with the USB Version any ESP32 should be OK.

Generally you can use every Microcontroller like
-Original Arduino‘s
-ESP‘s
-etc.
which has enough I/O‘s, is fast enough for this project and generates an ttyusb Device on the MiSTer.

!! Some ESP32's have an CH340 USB Serial Chip which is currently (04/2021) not supported by the MiSTer. !!
