I spent today, and most of this evening, developing and testing both a new Picade firmware and a quick and dirty update script which should let you easily get it installed hopefully without even opening up your Picade. Complete instructions for the process are here: https://github.com/pimoroni/Pica…

So, followed your flawless instructions, and hey presto… I can now play pacman via MAME. Thank you so much for your quick reply and simple steps… oh and your update script… Im on the way to making the most awesome arcade machine ever made. (in my mind) Thanks again, P.

I installed the update and it seems to be working well! Thanks!

[image] gadgetoid: I plan to make the Picade firmware dynamically re-configurable as soon as I can so we can have a utility to change the key bindings without uploading a new firmware. Any luck implementing this? When I follow the instructions given above I am left with TWO new .HEX files c…

You should use Picade.ino.hex, that’s the correct file. I haven’t had any time to look into improving the firmware yet. I’m still very much buried in Flotilla and various other duties, but I believe it’s possible. I plan for it to present a UI over serial which would allow you to enter key codes fo…

Nice Thanks for the reply and the update! Another question if you don’t mind. I want to replace the Pi in my Picade with a NUC computer I have. I want to reprogram the controller to use all of the buttons, especially the side buttons to use as left and right shift for Pinball games. But I want …

Hi Im trying to compile the latest Picade firmware using Arduino 1.6.5, board set to Leonardo. I see it needs Keyboard.h so I found and installed that library. However, on compile I get an error that the Keyboard library is asking for and cant find, an HID.h file… Any ideas guys, I’m new to all…

Try dropping the reference to Keyboard.h You shouldn’t need a separate library at all, as far as I know. I think somewhere between Arduino IDE 1.6.5 and 1.6.7 the Leonardo was changed/broken and required a manual import of keyboard.h. Does dropping the: #include <Keyboard.h> Line help at all?

Blimey! That was quick… Yes, commenting out that line lets the thing compile… Thanks very much :) Phil

Gadgetoid Any comment about my question above? Thanks.
