Jasen, thanks for that. That code generator is a life saver for people like me who have no idea about coding.
I am running the Kaimana mini & J rev B so will the code generator still work?
I just had a play around with the colours and downloaded the code it generated. However when it comes to uploading it, it seems to be stuck at uploading. It accepts the file(s) fine on the Arduino software but stays stuck at “uploading”. I left it plugged in for over 30 mins and came back and it still said “uploading”.
The Kaimana mini is hooked up to the Universial fighting board if that makes a difference.
More than likely the driver install for the Arduino is dorked up. You may need to restart the computer and try again or completely uninstall and reinstall the arduino suite. I have found that out of my 5 PCs (mix of mac and windows), only 3 actually work with any of the Ardunio stuff I have.
That is bizarre. I have uploaded other codes completely fine using the current Arduino software (1.6.5) I have been running. I will try your method and see how I get on.
One thing I just discovered.
When my Kaimana is not connected with USB, one of my button is not working correctly. It makes other connections as I was pressing several buttons at the same time.
If I want to play without the Kaimana (and its fifth LED not working correctly), I have to remove the Kaimana mini from the breakout. Weird…
Also, I tried first to remove the 5VCC from the board, same issue.
Does it mean the Kaimana is not 100% tranparent or that mine is really broken ?
Still no answer from ParadiseArcade…
Hey guys so i recently purchased a Paradise Arcadeshop LED joystick and followed the tutorial video on Fundando’s youtube channel. However, I can’t seem to get the joystick to light up and was curious what your thoughts were. Right now, the joystick is connected to a barrier strip that connects to a harness that goes to the Kaimana mini adapter. I am still waiting for my kaimana breakout to come in the mail but in the meantime, wanted to test the LED buttons etc that i purchased and plugged the kaimana mini to a micro usb. Buttons light up fine but the joystick does not. I’m assuming this is not a good sign. Not sure where I could have gone wrong. When I first wired everything, I had accidentally swapped the VCC and blue LED wire. Could this have killed the LED in the joystick or something?
okay so just realized that when i upload my arduino code to the kaimana mini, regardless of what I had set up through panzer, all the buttons default to random and cycle through a rainbow. So maybe i’m skipping a step i didn’t realize? I’ll try to rewatch fundando’s video again and see if i’m missing anything.
okay so quick update, tried Rylinn’s suggestion and the buttons light up as i have them set when i designate the joystick led as 0, but the joystick itself still doesn’t light up. Starting to think i might have to resort to soldering onto the Kaimana adapter to see for sure if theres something wrong with the stick
Makes sense. Definitely pulling that K4 pin low on the MCU. I suspect that its probably a dual function pin, GPIO with one of the ARM programming functions or something similar as the programming function is updating the embedded code.
hey guys sorry about asking a noob question, my baby motoh moved to california so now i have to do for myself
I took advantage of that $80 dollar razor atrox so I want to light it up. If I’ve read and watched correctly this should be all I need if I’m sticking with the stock pcb and I just run the buttons I want lit up to the breakout then run wires from the other side back to those buttons right?
okay so finally put everything together. Still no luck with the joystick but the buttons seem to be lighting up fine. weird thing is that when they are active, the opposing button changes colors instead of teh one i pressed (ie if i press p1, k1 will change colors to whatever i programed.) Do i just have signal interference going on somewhere?
