I confirmed with my laptop that all ports worked fine, but I didn't try connecting it with an OTG cable before I wired it to the Pi. That would have been a good idea.

Re: External USB

If I provide power to a female USB port and connect the green and white wires to pads 22 and 23, will the USB port work even though pads 22 and 23 are also connected to a Teensy? Do I need to get a hub working to be able to do this, or is there another way? I really don't think this will work. Can ...

External USB

I could just try this, but I thought I would ask since you guys probably just know. I was never able to get a USB hub to work and my current layout in the shell probably wouldn't fit one anymore, but I would still like to be able to connect an external controller, a keyboard, or something without ha...

Re: Corrupted SD card

Thanks for your time, Zero. My lack of experience is really showing now. I guess I assumed that because I said I was following wermy's guide to the letter that it would be known that I had wired into the SD card slot. It is clear to me now that concluding that something was wrong with the card was a...

Re: Corrupted SD card

It looks like the issues with the SD card were a red herring all along. I received a new Pi Zero in the mail today, so out of curiosity I put my "bad" card in it, connected it to a monitor and power and it booted right up. Zero's advice in his last post was to remove all solder joints from the Pi an...

Re: Corrupted SD card

Looks like the card is toast. I did an "Overwrite Format" of my card, which took quite a while, and then, using Apple Pie Baker, I prepped the card for NOOBS and then flashed the RetroPie image to the card. Same error. I don't have the hub wired to the pi anymore, but when I did, I was powering it w...

Re: Corrupted SD card

When plugged into my laptop, the card was showing that it only had something like 50MB available, so I completely erased it using MacOS Disk Utility. When I reflashed RetroPie, it appeared to be doing better at first but there were a lot of "Failed" messages. It didn't successfully boot. I started o...

Corrupted SD card

I've been trying to get my USB hub working without any luck (no USB device is recognized when the hub is wired to the Pi). Without a way to safely shut the Pi down, I think I have corrupted the data on the SD card at least a few times. I have been reflashing RetroPie with Apple Pi Baker, but that ha...

Guide part 5 - low-pass filter

I just completed part 5 of the guides including wiring things up to test the audio. The audio works, but coming out of the speaker, it is very quiet. I can hear it, but just barely. Does this indicate that there is something wrong with my filter? When I plug headphones in, the sound is much louder, ...
