AtariGeezer Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The switch stem on my ice-cream sandwich board broke off too, so a more robust switch would be good in future runs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Is anyone else testing with PBI/ECI devices also attached? -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I have done some, getting my XEL to use the PBI bios to boot off the APT partition of my CFIII into SDX and using fn tools to look at remote mounts. I stopped when I hit problems with the tools while you were rewriting and I haven't gone back to it other than just briefly since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dropcheck Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 On 8/28/2020 at 9:02 AM, mozzwald said: I got the v1.1 boards and built one unit. All is well in my testing so far. A 1088XEL user is already lined up to get one and give it a full test. I still need to add support for the new gpio button in the firmware. This button is in place of hard reset and will be used for "safe reset" by unmounting the uSD card before doing a soft reset. Code will be able to detect new button due to it being pulled up so the same firmware will work for 1.0 and 1.1 boards. Hard reset has been moved to a snap dome pad on the front near the SIO LED. I likely wont populate it in production as you can power off/on the FujiNet to get the same functionality. I did not change the uSD socket to a push/push style. I could not find a socket small enough to fit in the same spot as the current one. This upgrade will require putting the socket on the opposite side and a case modification. Hi Mozzwald, I still see only v1.0 board and schematics released. I went looking for the buffer chip you indicated on an earlier snap of the new 1.1 schematics and I am not finding that part #. Am I reading it right? Is that a Q or a G? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, stop abusing your fujinet In my case the switch does NOT want to go to the Up (on) position unless you force. It clicks down to Off easily but simply won't go up without force. It was like that when I got it. The switch on the prior 1.0 unit I had did not have that issue. *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastic Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Amazing product, amazing community ! Is there a way to buy a FujiNet in Europe yet ? Because otherwise customs will screw me over when a package arrives from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Since you're in Belgium, best to go to @zaxon's store: https://www.sellmyretro.com/offer/details/45549 Hopefully more European vendors will pop up. e.g. @lotharek -Thom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manterola Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) 3 hours ago, Mr Robot said: Stop shrinking the components! Those of us with bad eyes and shakey hands can't build them Maybe a home made variant of Fujinet can be build with this 16MB module? (with SD reader included). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QDFP3WC/ Few changes to the pin definition will be needed. I found it in Ebay from a seller located in Germany as well. I haven't tried myself with this particular module, but I was able to boot Atari with another module (4MB only) by changing the pin definitions for the SD card and the motor_ctrl and Command signals. EDIT: Is it possible to add more esp32 variants to the source code? Easily? so people who wants and like to build one with some (more common) already assembled module can get their Fujinet? That way those DIY guys and gals can have some fun connecting the signals to the SIO connector and adding the resistors, switches, etc. Edited October 1, 2020 by manterola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tschak909 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Try it, A platform configuration can be added for it. The various passive bus coupling components are still needed. -Thom Edited October 1, 2020 by tschak909 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
