MiSTer FPGA Forum

Thanks for this project! I'm building this for my bartop, but the problem that I'm having is that for some reason the gifs are not displaying. All I get is the string "CMDCOR,name of the core,-1" in the leds for a moment when I start a core and then I get the text MiSTer FPGA. I've uploaded the gifs to the ESP32 without problems inside a...

arkanoid-new.gif arkanoid gif is done. will upload to github shortly. also think i've got the SDcard loader code figured out so that should appear soon as well. will be a separate sketch so folks can choose. tho eventually i want to fully eclipse the original version with something that pulls right from the MiSTer but im not there yet. been a real...

Finished my build with SD Card support… Could you please share how to connect the SD Reader to the ESP Board. //Edit In think I got it. Do you use the Accelerometer Port of the Trinity? on a trinity board there's a break out for pins 2, 34*, 33, 32, SDA, SCL, GND and 3v3. that's where my intention was to put an SDcard reader i picked up from adafr...

very impressive!

That‘s the update for the tty2oled firmware. Cancel this and disable the option in the ini file. Howto is given on matrix github page. The Matrix Github tells me to follow the instructions to configure the tty2oled as the first step. I'm honestly confused :( Sorry! that's my bad. i should have been more specific about those instructions. i will tr...

holy crap that rules! i will have to try your setup out!

awesome! glad what i've made isn't totally UN-reproduceable! i have CAD for a desktop frame that i will upload to the github. i haven't had a chance to test print it yet but i will put both the fusion files and the STL so if anyone wants to try it out then please have at it! edit: i have uploaded my CAD and the 3MF files for the parts to the github...

im in a class for work all week so im sorry for lack of updates. i am trying to adapt the current version to the tty2oled_usb version so we can pull gifs directly from the MiSTer since i already ran out of storage on the esp32. also haven't tested the desktop enclosure as my basement is in shambles and the 3d printer is not available at this time. ...

So this is based on 128x32 correct? Are you still considering the 192x64 version? currently its 128x32. im still on the fence about 192x64. to do that the panel would be 120 mm tall and 480 mm wide using the p2.5 panels ive been able to source. thats a bit larger than my bartop arcade marquee would need. but yeah it would be good for a full uprigh...

okay, here are some screen shots of my first draft at a stand alone enclosure for the hardware. this is too wide for my Prusa Mk3S so i'll have to figure out a split method for the two bezels first. stand rocks the panel back 10 degrees for easier viewing from a desk or whatever and uses the same holes that the inner and outerframes use for securin...

Perhaps with a similar function which is used for the tty2oled ScreenSaver.
The question is how they look afterwards.

good idea. once i get some documentation done and the case for non-cab install done i'll check into it.

that would be amazing

I know this is too much to ask, but could you make a video about how to make it? i mean, for donkeys as me. It could be showing how to program it, how to install it and showing the power source you use. Would it be possible or is the technical level out of my reach? i do intend on putting up better build instructions on the github as well as a sta...

wow, i'm gonna take some time later and go thru all of this! awesome stuff.

hey everyone been a busy week for me. here's the latest new image for burger time. i will respond to everyone in kind later. thanks for all the encouragement! i will update the github shortly

thanks I appreciate that. yeah its meant as a marquee for a bar top unit im building. and I've been telling myself that for over a year now so I think I might have to, at the very least build an enclosure for the current hardware so I have an easier time of displaying the gifs in real life. I've 3d printed a few other mounts for other RGB matrix pr...

items i'm still working on: ADD MORE GIFS OF ARCADE CORES add font library so that text that displays for cores that do not have images created are shown in a nicer way, perhaps scroll from right to left add optional SDcard adapter to ESP32 board so microcontroller can access images/gifs externally rather than using storage on the microcontroller i...

no idea how to use git and i'm doing this very slowly but here it is: https://github.com/h3llb3nt/tty2rgbmatrix building on tty2oled this is my version for a bartop arcade setup with a 128x32 RGB display (two 64x32 side by side) powered by an ESP32 running Arduino for the marquee. I'm finding that 128x32 is kinda small for some of the more complex ...

here's a wip for Sinistar (at 400%)

latest gif... been busy so haven't had a lot of time to work on these but we'll see what the weekend brings

Looks really nice :) How many Pixels do you have in total? And what is the size of the panel? thanks! this is two 64x32 P2.5 (leds are 2.5mm apart) panels from aliexpress combined into 128x32 with 4096 pixels. ordering HUB75 panels from aliexpress can be a crap shoot since you never know what exact panel driver you're going to get but I was happy ...

here's video of current status of my rgb version. this runs on the non-usb mode of the current code base that just receives the core name on the serial line. I need to adjust some things still but you get the idea.

good news on my RGB display code. i got my gifs to (mostly) display properly. galaga still has some weirdness in the lower right that i have to figure out. but now that i know this is feasible i can attempt to get the serial monitor code and the gif display functions to work together. going to attempt to use the dual core of the esp32 for that. gif...

this is using an ESP32 based board called a trinity by a nice guy from ireland. i've used them before for other HUB75 panel setups like a tetris clock etc. the HUB75 rgb panels are using the ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA library found here -> https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-DMA the animated gif portion of the code uses ...

so i've been working on a version of the tty2oled using a pair of 64x32 rgb HUB75 panels instead of the smaller oled displays to use in a bartop arcade based on my mister, and to use animated gifs instead of static bitmaps. but i'm running into trouble with the animated gif code and was wonderingg if anyone here would mind taking a look at the code...

Did you check your list vs. the Arcade organizer script? Would be good to validate the script. that's actually why I started my list because I was going thru the arcade organizer list and they didn't quite make sense to me so I wanted to sanity check myself. now that I have done mine I need to go thru that list and see if it jives... I got distrac...

whoops! try again

I went thru all of the arcade cores at the time and tested for Tate mode and if they are flippable. here's a google sheet with the results
