It seems like the kaimana community is dead or silent for some reason.
Ive been some questions answered on support.paradisearcadeshop.com but it looks like the wiki that should exist at support.paradisearcade.net is gone. I have the same set you bought, 8 led with mini kaimana and breakout, and im in the process of getting it wired up over the next few days. I wish I could help you out bud, but I also wish that this thread was still alive, I could use some help as well.
Any hurdles that I clear during the process Ill try and help you out with Rylinn.
Iām having the same issue (with the UFB and KK combo) and am wondering if thereās anything else I can do to try to solve it while I wait on a reply. Iāve exhausted all the ideas I could think of/find on google (and have tried all the obvious options like different PCs, USB cables and so on).
Iāve also noticed that it doesnāt actually detect any hardware change at all when plugged into a PC (without the UFB/any LEDs attached), and canāt be seen through the Arduino IDE as a result. Sort of assuming this is the issue, but want to make sure itās not just me being a moron - certainly wouldnāt be the first timeā¦
If you read up in the thread @JRDIBBS posted some Tourney code that does this on GitHub.
I wish I could help here, but I havenāt seen the new Js. @armi0024 - can you provide the pinout for the Jās on your site?
The board needs to be sent back for reprogramming. If neither the PS360+ or Kaimana LED lights up wth the K1+HOME or the onboard switch, it was either 1. Not factory programmed or 2. defective. Most likely it needs a new factory program put on it. Contact the shop you purchased it from to square it away. Without a program on the chips they USB switching does not work and neither USB signal is passed through.
Thanks for the reply Jasen! I thought this was probably going to be the case, but itās great to have it confirmed so I know to give up until I can get the replacement/return lined up. Canāt tell you how many times Iāve plugged this in hoping for a different outcome (something something, definition of insanity)!
I ended up soldering the kaimana mini in place. When I was talking about how to wire it up I didnāt mean to the LEDās. It turns out the breakout board was having some issues and through the VCC screw terminal it seemed like it was getting dirty power and all LEDS would be solid red. After soldering a header on the ps360+ and installing the kaimana that way though, it is working normally and I started customizing the code.
I do have one question on the arduino sketch however. Since the kaimana j2ās have 2 leds per pad, how do I map both LEDās to each button in the Kaimana_custom.h file.
I have recently purchased a Kaimana Khameleon and a Brooks Board. I have solder them together with the 20 pin and 4 pin headers and everything was working fine. Then I went to use the Khameleon webkit and two of my LEDās went out on the end of the string. The LEDās work because I swapped them out for others on the chain and they work. Can someone please help me to relight the last two LED lights and set up the LED lights without malfunction. Thanks.
The Kaimana Khameleon Webkit is designed to work with the Panzer Fight Stick 2.0 wiring. You will need to go in and adjust the indexes of your LEDs according to how you wired them. @fundando covered this in a video a few posts back.
I followed the guide but my last two lights are still not enabled. I donāt understand code but I am simply trying to relight my last two LEDās and i cannot find the code to allow me to do that. I can learn the rest of the code but i donāt know how i managed to screw this up.
