Re: Circuit Sword Screen Issues.

Heya! I've recently unpacked my CSO 1.1e, and ran into the same problem. There are a few threads over in Kite's support sub-forum about this too. The short version is that there may be solder bridges on the display FPC socket or even the CM3 socket on the other side of the board. Here's a short yout...

Re: Circuit Sword Bluetooth

Minor update: I did your hardware mod to my CSO 1.1E, Kite. It works perfectly!

Re: Aluminum Game Boy Zero Housings

If there's a divot in the back of the case for each button, one could drill a pilot hole from the back, then turn it around and use the step drill from the front.

Re: Circuit Sword Bluetooth

It looks like support has recently made it into the kernel. It looks like they ran into the UART speed issue in an earlier patch, too.

A couple of releases down the line, and we'll be able to install the firmware, update the device tree, and be done with it.

Re: Circuit Sword Bluetooth

I don't check in for a week, and all this happens :lol: Sorry for the confusion @AntFJ. As an old unix hack, I tend to run as root too much. @kite, the hardware mod looks good. I'll have to give that a shot! As for setup, I've been meaning to open a PR... Would you prefer that I copy in rtl8723bs_bt...

Re: Circuit Sword Bluetooth

It looks like rtk_hciattach connects at 115200 bps. Then as part of configuring the module, it raises the bitrate. On mine, it sets it to 4928002 bps [1]. I haven’t tried writing it, but I suspect it might be possible to reconnect at the higher rate on a warm boot. I wrote a systemd file to get this...

Re: Circuit Sword Bluetooth

I've actually managed to get this working! No guarantees that I've got it working the right way, though. First, add this to /boot/config.txt: force_turbo=1 enable_uart=1 dtoverlay=uart0,txd0_pin=32,rxd0_pin=33,pin_func=7 Next, go into raspi-config -> Interfacing Options -> Serial and disable the log...
