Spacegoogie Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I just ordered this https://www.amazon.com/FREESCALE-SEMICONDUCTOR-FRDM-KL25Z-KINETIS-PLATFORM/dp/B00DK2DBM4/ref=sr_1_2?crid=30R41IDCJOP2O&keywords=KL25Z&qid=1703915328&s=industrial&sprefix=kl25z%2Cindustrial%2C149&sr=1-2&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc Do I just need to mount, plugin, install the software, and setup? I'm super excited as this is about the last piece I need for my cab. Someone who has one please tell me how good it is and how its worth $60+ lol.

Spacegoogie Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 So I have received, I have been trying to update the bootloader because im running windows 11, for the life of me Windows will not recognize the board (only boot loader). Ugh I cant find much info. I just want an accelerometer on my cab lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffdriver Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I believe the Pinscape instructions say that Windows 7 is required for the bootloader. If you don't have a Windows 7 computer, maybe investigate VirtualBox or some other virtualization software. Once the bootloader is installed, you won't need Windows 7 again.

I read all this after I received it. I thought I could just do as I stated above. I'm sending it back requesting a 2019 or newer board, if I don't receive then I'll send that back and just wait for a fix. use the cash for another part lol.

buffdriver Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Do as you think best, but be advised that these boards are in short supply. I ordered 3 from the manufacturer in Malaysia and had to update the boot loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffdriver Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I used a Windows 7 virtual machine running on MacOS. Check out this link and see if you can't quickly set up a Win 7 virtual machine: https://www.virtualbox.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacegoogie Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 I got that all setup and running (Windows 7 Thank you for the motivation because I really didn't want to do all that) had to install FRAMEWORK 4.+ to get pinscape to load, and still will not take a new bootloader. I will try again right out of the box tomorrow when my replacement arrives, Did you do anything special in W7? If this doesn't work , like I said I'll wait for a fix. What a bummer for something so simple. Thanks again for your help. If you have any other suggestions i'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappelbox Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Post a pic of the Pinscape in good resolution and where you attached the usb. did you try with another cable? in order to flash a new boot loader you also need to keep the button pressed while plugging in the usb.

Spacegoogie Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Two different cables, both new. Under W7 should I not be able to just plug it in and run pinscape and it should detect and update as necessary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacegoogie Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Not sure how but I got it working and updated, so now it's plugged in, I went through the pinscape setup. Any recommended VPX settings for this badboy? Because I have no idea lol. Thanks again for all the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappelbox Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 set default keyboard strokes in pinscape config as they are the same in vpx, done. enable analog nudge in vpx key settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
