Game Input MultipleXer

I bought these as advised for my GIMX to get my DFGT on my ps4.

I followed this guide.

Under the Arduino section to install firmware it states you have to remove and then put back in the board

-Click on the COM port that matches the "Silicon Labs CP210x ... (COMX)" COM port in the device manager (or whatever the name of your USB to UART board is). This is a trick to make the Arduino Builder tool look for a new COM port.
-The following message should appear: "Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on COMX...".
-Quickly unplug/replug the atmega32u4 board, or connect RST to GND twice.

However, when I do this it always says 'no new port found'

I am trying to remove and replace as quickly as possible but no luck.

ANy other options/ideas?

I am doing the right thing?

Hi,
The wiring is probably wrong.
I also notice that you are trying to load the firmware with Arduino Builder which means you probably want to run GIMX on Windows. Last time I checked the PL2303 driver did not support the mandatory 500kbps baudrate on Windows.

the wiring should be correct the man on ebay made it for me already wired, I told him what I needed and he wired those two and sent me them...

I can send picture

tx-yellow-Rx
Rx-green- Tx
GND- Blue- GND

Check that you are unplugging and replugging the right board (atmega32u4, first link), and make sure that the other board (pl2303, second link) is plugged.

I am unplugging the one connected to my pc, ill post up pics tomorrow to explain better

Actually both have to be connected.

Hey dvrgimp, I just saw your other reply on my thread. It seems like you got something different.

That Pl2303, I am not sure if it works, it seems like everyone has gotten the CP2102 instead to do this method. At the beginning, I ordered different parts and I never made it to work, so I had to order again and making sure it was exactly as the ones mentioned in the tutorials.

Just check the step you posted before:
-Click on the COM port that matches the "Silicon Labs CP210x ... (COMX)" COM port in the device manager (or whatever the name of your USB to UART board is). This is a trick to make the Arduino Builder tool look for a new COM port.

You see that it is looking for a CP210x, not a PL2303. So that looks suspicious to me.

maybe you are correct and my parts wont work?

Let me know what you think and if you can make guide how u did it and link to parts you bought, how to set up etc.

I will follow that cheers so much

The parts that I got are these:

Leonardo Arduino:

CP2102:

Also, these cables would help you, but you can go with out them (I didn't get them because I didn't know, but it worked for me with out them), but if you are gonna make another order, better get them, it is only like a 1 or 2 dollars:

So I can make a tutorial with these components.

You have an Arduino Leonardo "micro", maybe it is fine, maybe it isn't. If someone could confirm this. But I have seen most of the people using the Arduino Leonardo board that I posted above.

the leandro board is same ship so should be fine.

I msg my seller and he says the cp210 and pl2303 are same thing?

so I guess I'm just not setting it up right somehow? be interesting to see exactly what u did and copy that man!!
