@harrisonhjones, that is a doozy! If you will be at Maker Faire, let’s discuss there but I believe I can help. Do you have an extra shield you can bring?
Sounds good. How about I just give you the one I have and I’ll go order another? Looking forward to talking with you!
@peekay123 @harrisonhjones Did you guys take a look at this? I’m currently using this library on an Arduino, but would like to move over to the Core/Photon.
@tw_uk, I working my way through all the porting. I’ve hit a snag in the LCD include file with a write(uint8_t) extension to the class which, for some reason, won’t compile. It’s just a matter of time.
UPDATE: I have the code compiling on the (beta) develop branch for the Photon!
@peekay123 Oh cool! I’ve noticed ‘spark-usb-host’ too, although haven’t tried it so far. Think I’ll get a shield board to make connecting my USB host arduino shield to the Core/Photon a bit easier.
Shame we can’t make the Photon act as a USB host itself, and avoid needing the shield!
@peekay123 Do you have the core classes + ACM working (cdcacm.h)? They’re the only ones I’m using at the moment! My Photon is on its way now. Hopefully I’ll be able to try this out soon.
@tw_uk, I have the ACM example and the entire library code compiling without error. Whether it works or not is another question
@peekay123 Happy to help you test it out, when I have my Photon & ‘shield shield’! Will you be putting your work-in-progress up anywhere?
@peekay123 Still no ‘shield shield’ here . I have all my ACM code working on my Arduino Uno though! Have you looked at this any more?
@tw_uk, I haven’t had the chance to test things yet. @harrisonhjones has the library but I think he’s been busy as well.
Got all the HW here. Photon, Shield Shield and USB Host Shield. Mind sharing the library?
@mauimauer, I put the files HERE. Everything compiles but I can’t vouch as to whether everything works!
Thank you very much. I was able to compile the code and use it with the ACM Terminal sample provided in the original repo.
Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to work
I guess this has something to do with the pin assignments on the Photon.
I’m happy to help continue testing this.
seems to be different to what’s defined in your avrpins.h and SPI Pin definition. Or am I reading this wrong?
@mauimauer, good catch! I realigned the pins to match the Arduino shield pins. Grab the zip file again. I only modified the avrpins.h file.
@mauimauer, I’m curious if you ever got this shield working with the photon with the ported library?
