+Andrew Davie Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 My STM boards have arrived, but I can't get them to connect. Is it the case that I first have to solder them onto the pluscart board, because that makes connections on the STM that are required for the USB to work?

The boot1 jumper has to be short for flashing..

+Andrew Davie Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well the STM boards arrived rapidly from China. But now I have to wait for the ESP-01S boards and I expect they might take another couple of months.... dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauder666 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I bought 3 of each, arrived within 2 weeks to UK. Built one, flashed, and worked first time. Well, apart from maybe screwing up the 7800. All working fine on the RGB modded 6 switch PAL 2600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, it seems extremely unlikely to me that the PlusCart blew up your 7800. I guess we just wait for a second occurrence.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauder666 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I think its unlikely too. i did add some shielded cable to the video upgrades a few weeks ago, but cant remember if i tested with 2600 carts or not. i’ll take it apart tomorrow, and check some things. Just wanted tomwarn people just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing the programming after the assembly or before I send them, so it is the latest firmware version programmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
