hello again i've figured out how to build the firmware on the arduino but after that the arduino disconnects and shows the rx and tx led lights and nothing happen then.


i have tried to build the firmware on another micro board but i had the same result.

i tried to build an older firmware and the same problem occurs


i've changed the wires and nothing happen

and on the gimx launcher i get timeout message.


please help :(

Well, I don't think you can replace usb uart with arduino.

There was a way to do that some time ago but I don't know if it's still supported. @Matlo should know though.

This is a test firmware I made a while back. I will compile it for you but please understand I won't help further if it doesn't work.

Ok and thanks for that.


Yes i will not ask for help about it 🙂.

And if it doesn't work i will order a serial converter.

Many thanks.

there is only one problem with the driver

it tells me (the third-party inf does not contain digital signature information)
