Bonjour de Montreal, Hi from Montreal. we are bilingual :-)

Post by Jean-Roch Blais »

Bonjour, bravo pour ce bidouillage (comme vous dites les Français) extraordinaire !!! Je suis un gamer PC, et j'hésitais a acquerir une PS, à cause justement des manettes de #$%?&#!, imprécises et complexes. Mais oh joie, quand j'ai découvert GIMX, j'ai acheté une PS4, avec "The last of us". J'utilise l'interface DIY USB, avec un "pro micro" ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Pro-Micro-A ... 0972980117 ) et "FTDI USB-TTL" ( https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/100 ... ogic-level ) pas cher pas cher... Pour programmer le "pro micro" j'utilise le "Avrisp MkII" ( http://store.atmel.com/PartDetail.aspx? ... escription a 34$ US) et voici ma formule magique dans terminal sur Mac. pour ceux qui se demandent ... : " /Users/moimeme/Downloads/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -C /Users/moimeme/Downloads/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -c avrisp2 -P usb -p m32u4 -U flash:w:/Users/moimeme/Downloads/firmwares/EMUPS4/atmega32u4.hex:i " .

Merci Matio !

As I said, we are bilingual... but I left out the English part, so here it is: Hi everyone, I'm a trained PC gamer, always preferred the mouse/keyboard combo... to those clumsy, inaccurate, and to top it off, vibrating PS handles !!! (Ouch they call that a feature :ugeek: ). When I discovered GIMX, I realize I could set up an excellent PC-like gamer machine, but at a much lower price. I could still play my preferred way, but pay 75% less... that's a deal I couldn't refuse, as Don Corleone would say ! So, I bought a PS4 did the DIY-USB contraption, installed GIMX et voila, fun I have ! My config: I use a Dell XPS M1530 laptop with Windows 7, for the DIY-USB thingy, I use and confirm that it works: "pro micro" ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Pro-Micro-A ... 0972980117 ) and "FTDI USB-TTL" ( https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/100 ... ogic-level ) inexpensive and a tad fraudulent Chinese cheapos, but damn it, they work... To program the "pro micro" I already had an "Avrisp MkII" ( http://store.atmel.com/PartDetail.aspx? ... escription at 34$ US) and here is my programming magic formula in a MAC terminal session for those who wonder ... : " /Users/"myself"/Downloads/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -C /Users/"myself"/Downloads/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -c avrisp2 -P usb -p m32u4 -U flash:w:/Users/"myself"/Downloads/firmwares/EMUPS4/atmega32u4.hex:i " .

Huge Thanks Matlo !

Le prototype... ici le fil rouge est sur TX du USB-TTL, ce qui n'est pas le cas dans la photo précédente...
