Re: Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) KB II

Thanks Jimmo. I'm ordering some Pro Micro. But I have a desire now to do it in uPython as well. Plus I have a 20 year old Cyborg 3D Gold USB joystick I want to use on a Mac and it will need some kind of hardware fix and/or software. One the Mac it was plug-and-play with no special drivers needed unt...

Re: Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) KB II

Thanks for the info. Yes, HID. I guess the usual USB to serial chips do something rather simple. Or the ATmega328 on a Nano can't handle the complexity or speed?

Anyway, I'll focus on the STM32 parts and see what else I can find.

Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) KB II

Converting the old Apple Extended KB II to USB is a thing because many think it is the best KB ever. I have a dozen or so of them and everyone is converting using a Teensy2.0 and this C project https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/master/converter/adb_usb I have a load of Arduino Nano but the US...

Re: Binary or nightly build

Thanks Jon. The erasing and programming progress goes fine then I get a failure due to "timed out waiting for packet header" at the 99% mark on the Ubuntu and the 7% mark on the Debian. I just cleaned esptool out of the Ubuntu system and used pip to install, plus the fresh. Same thing still happens....

Re: Binary or nightly build

I'm still stumped. I have both built esptool and installed with pip. I am using Ubutnu 32 bits 14.04 on one system and Debina 2 bit Jessie on another. I have build the firmware-combined.bin and used the download binary. I have use the direct esptool commands and the make deploy version. Once, and I ...

Re: Binary or nightly build

Thanks Robert.

Turns out to not be the problem. Maybe something with esptool.py We get an error 2 timed out waiting for packet header at 99% point. Does that every time.

Binary or nightly build

I have not been able to find a binary for the ESP8266. Is there a nightly build by someone or a place to get one? I need it to test loading problems. Is it the binary file or something else. A known working binary will be very handy when troubleshooting for a first time ESP8266 user.

Re: MicroPython on ESP8266 Kickstarter

I have employees ready to contribute. Is this project on a new repo? We can't see where to get involved. I interrupted an Issue thread on the emails and was shut down for interrupting, but with no answer. Note: There is nothing wrong with saying "don't interrupt a thread and go HERE for what you nee...
