Will Molecule allow me to set the color of the Touch button? The current way of setting the colors through brightstick.freecade is limited to 11 buttons.
Do you have a custom touch button and led? The number of inputs an an individual kaimana is limited to 8 action buttons, 3 menu and 4 directional so depending on your setup you may have eaten up the inputs.
Yessir! Custom touch button and led. It works fine lighting up on idle animations. Oddly enough it does light up intermittently when the other buttons are activated.
Could you share your led setup? I have a hunch that you will need to add it in code but I can help a lot more if I know how you have it setup right now.
Iāve finished something very special that will allow me to setup faster and even code to go:

Hey dude, Iām interested in a Kaimana product (either the mini or full size) but Iām having some problems with your website, mainly that your āwikiā product pages are broken and come up blank.
I really need some in-depth information on these two products so I can decide what is best suited for my customers. Any chance of getting the wiki pages back online?

Hello! Thanks for pointing out the links are bad, this is from the store page correct? @SusanInParadise can take a look at it. Meanwhile I am the resident kaimana guy so any questions feel free to ask! We are working to revamp the info at http://support.paradisearcadeshop.com/ but again if you need something specific Iām here!
Hi.
Yes, the link is taken directly from the brief product description from the PAS website.
I need to know the precise differences between the Mini and Kameleon. I also need to know if the Kameleon no longer comes with screw terminals (the original release Kameleon did), and if not then is there a way to add them at checkout?
The KMini is a reduced size Kaimana that has the 20pin female header to sit on top of 20pin enabled boards such as the Brooks UFB. The KK has the 20 pin plus a built in USB switcher which allows you to, with a single usb cable, switch between the controller pcb and the Kaimana by pressing home+K1. Other than that its the same chip so the code from the KM will work with the KK. There is a breakout board that we sell here that will work with either board.
Can I still get a Kameleon that has screw terminals on it like whatās seen at the beginning of this thread? Itās important because in this circumstance pin headers are useless to me and purchasing a separate breakout board feels like an unnecessary tax (plus increasing shipping costs to the UK as Iāll need two sets of driver boards & LEDās).
You mean if you can get a Kaimana that has the terminals, Khameleon is Jasens branding of the Kaimana. The OG Kaimana (which is the one you see at the begginging of this thread) has been discontinued but you can get both the kaimana mini and breakout board as a single product here, the breakouts themselves are small and lightweight so they should not add a lot to the shipping.
Ah shipping stuff over here is always fun - especially from PA! Iāve found ordering more doesnāt increase the shipping a whole lot, as none of it weighs a great deal. Unless youāre ordering a second order and thus second shipping charge - thatāll cost ya!
Hey guysā¦ have a question for setting up an IL stick. Ok I already have the buttons, I want to make sure that Iām purchasing the correct parts. 1st (8) IL-lumination RGB 5VDC LED, 2nd (7) Paradise Kaimana 3" Wire Harness with one 9" one, 3rd the Paradise Kaimana Mini LED Driver PCB. Iām thinking thatās pretty much it right? Am I missing something? Do I have to get the full size LED PCB? I know I need the 20pin ribbon. @armi0024
thanks in advance
Piggy backing off of that I want to do a dual mod with MC Cthulhu and Brook UFB. What Kaimana parts should I get to make it easy?
Hi, i got my kaimana mine and the mini breakout but well i am lost, this is my first time trying to mod something, got a qnba Q4 stick modded with a hori commander 4 pcb.
http://i.imgur.com/cSfP8DE.jpg
so it seems when i got my stick modded they add this pcb to power up the hori pcb? (i am guessing i know nothing)
http://i.imgur.com/Mu5hOCk.jpg
my q4 vcc and ground go to this little black thing along with the hori pcbā¦
http://i.imgur.com/ADmNOQc.jpg
my guess i can send 2 wires from vcc and gnd in the breakout into that black circuit there that is connected to the USB that should be distributing power to the circuits.
is that correct?
It does look like that board has something to do with USB so taking +5V and GND from here would be valid.
yeah, thats the case i figured out that thank you. now i have a new doubt.
my pcb is connected to the buttons like this:
http://i.imgur.com/f1HzRvA.jpg
soā¦what i been told i can make a daisy chain for the GND from buttons to the kaimana breakoutā¦ should i be connecting all the ground wires in my q4 pcb to a single wire that connects to the kaimana breakout?
Yup you have to daisy chain the gnds in the buttons and bring a single wire to the breakout
So im having a problem programing my Kaimana Mini LEDS.
Iām using it on a Ps360+, mini usb plugged into the Kaimana Mini. Ive followed this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKty1h_pj54&t=197s) to T and after uploading the code to the board via mini usbā¦ the buttons arenāt lighting up properly. Iām only lighting up the 4 kicks and 4 punches. My inactive color is fine but when buttons are pushed only one LED may light up and it usually lights up on different button from the one being pushing.

This led order seems strange, how are the leds physically connected? This looks like:
P4 K4 P3 K3 P2 K2 P1 K1
