Tinkerboy GPIO Controller and DPI adapter with Pro Micro. Any help?

Post by Wilbur » Fri Mar 06, 2020 12:30 pm

I bought Dpi Adapter and Controller V1 for my first GBZ project but I found out the DPI adapter leaves only 5 gpios so my controller board is unusable. However, it seems that using Pro Micro could make possible to use it. Is the any guide to wiring it and using the Controller V1 with Dpi and Raspberry Pi Zero without buy a Controller V3?

Thanks so much in advance!

sure, there are a few posts on the forums for how people have done it, if you do a little searching, and tinkerboy's own guide should work also:

you just have to be aware of which input goes to which pin (just like doing gpio) to adjust the script you flash to it.

Yes, and thanks for the answer. I have seen the guides software side. Can you link me some guide to wiring the Pro Mircro to the board? I dont know what to wire to. Sorry I'm litterally new to all of this :cry:

Anyway, you guys are so kind, thanks in advance!

that's ok - everyone's new to it at some point. it's very similar to wermy's original guide, with the Teensy. you just run a wire from each button to an input pin, then in the software, you configure the pins you used. for the pro micro, you also need to make sure to run the a ground, 5v power-in, and the usb connection to the pi.

if you get stuck, looking around the forums for "pro micro" and "arduino" should get you lots of results to work with, like this one, that has a lot of info:
