tty2oled Soft&Hardware Add-On (Shows Core based Pictures on a Display)

[neogeo81]

I have an Antoino tty2oled ESP32 Board here.
Works as expected, just tried.

I found the issue

It's the tapto script. After disabling it at start the tty2oled works like it should.
If the NFC reader is plugged in a USB port the issue doesn't appear. As soon as there is no NFC reader active and the tapto script is active it conflicts eith the tty2oled.

[venice]

Great, good finding!

Is it possible to configure tapto for another usb port?

I tried this as wizzo told me but it didn't help.

[RealLarry]

Maybe this is getting better when I've finished the support for TapTo in tty2rpi which could be also used in tty2oled then.
But "it's done when it's done"

I tried this as wizzo told me but it didn't help.

Did you tell this to Wizzo?

Yes, he is checking out how this can avoided.

it looks like both use generic usb controllers they intervene with each connection. i don't know if there is something from your side you can fix.

[venice]

Some ideas…
The easiest is to use a fix defined port with TapTo.

TapTo can check the ini files of tty2oled (if they exist) and doesn‘t probe the configured port.

Start tty2oled after TapTo.
Try to change the order in the startup file.

We can add a startup delay to the tty2oled script.

The probe doesn't works. It still interferes.
The order or delay could work but the problem is when you have try2oled active and plugged but the tapto script just running with nothing plugged.

[venice]

I hope that, if you change the boot order (and add a delay) TapTo has done his probing and tty2oled can start normal.

Have you tried to change the boot order?

Have you tried to change the boot order?

I will try that and if it does not work i will set the tapto reader to manuall

i think the boot order just did the trick. it shows UU on startup but then went back to the MiSTer logo and stayed. Thanks!

[venice]

If you need an additional delay add a new line with “sleep [delay]” to
to file /media/fat/tty2oled/tty2oled.sh
after the line

Code: Select all

 # ** Main **

[AmintaMister]

Same issue here, still not resolved...

[venice]

The UU issue?

[AmintaMister]

When I have both TapTo and tty2oled connected, TapTo doesn't work. If I disconnect tty2oled, TapTo works. Can I change the ttyUSB0 assigned to TapTo ttyUSB1 or vice versa?

Thanks!

[neogeo81]

Go to the linux folder and open the user_startup file. In there you need to put the tapto script at the top first position and the tty2oled at the last position. This gives enough space that the two scripts don't interfere.

[venice]

You can configure your tty interface in the users ini file.

See https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tt ... n#ini-file

Hi all, thanks for your advices!

So I've set my user-startup.sh like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

echo "***" $1 "***"

sh /media/fat/Scripts/cifs_mount.sh

# mrext/remote
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/remote.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/remote.sh -service $1

# Startup tty2oled
[[ -e /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled ]] && /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled $1

My tapto.ini like this:

Code: Select all

[tapto]

So now TapTo reader is assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0 and tty2oled to /dev/ttyUSB1.

Now both devices work together... sort of...

After MiSTer boot is complete, I launch a game with TapTo, the game loads and tty2oled... sometimes show the system, sometimes show a "UU" and shuts down.

But even if all goes right, If i try to change the game I have to tap the card many times on TapTo device to change game: instead, if I disconnect TTTty2Oled the change is instant at each tap.

So there is still some conflict and meanwhile I prefer to keep tty2oled shut off...

[venice]

The user ini should contain ONLY lines which are different to the system config.
In your case maybe only the TTYDEV line.
Do not copy the whole system ini to the user ini.

As far as i know the UU is created by TapTo and his interface probing.
Set this to „false“.

You write tty2oled is assigned to ttyUSB1.
But you can‘t assign a device to an interface.
The assignment is done by MiSTer’s linux and the ini should reflect/contain these information.

You are sure the display is ttyUSB1?

Give us more hardware details.

Thanks!

I've changed tap.ini setting to false the interface probing:

Code: Select all

[tapto]
connection_string=
allow_commands=false
disable_sounds=false
probe_device=false
exit_game=false
exit_game_blocklist=
exit_game_delay=0
debug=false
api_port=7497
api_basic_auth=
reader="pn532_uart:/dev/ttyUSB0"

[systems]

Now TapTo device aways works.

I've removed the tty2oled user.ini, system.ini has the "stock" value TTYDEV="/dev/ttyUSB0", hoever is always "stuck" on "tty2Oled" screen

Here are the results of dmesg | grep tty on MiSTer:

Code: Select all

[    1.968530] usb 1-1.3: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[    4.071732] ch341-uart ttyUSB1: break control not supported, using simulated break
[    4.071971] usb 1-1.7.4: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[    6.320620] cdc_acm 1-1.7.1.1.4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

EDIT: no, even with these settings the TapTo device doesn't always work...
The only way to make it work flawlessy is completely uncomment the tty2oled startup line in MiSTer startup sequence:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

echo "***" $1 "***"

sh /media/fat/Scripts/cifs_mount.sh


# mrext/tapto
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/tapto.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/tapto.sh -service $1

# Startup favorites
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/favorites.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/favorites.sh refresh


# mrext/remote
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/remote.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/remote.sh -service $1

# Startup tty2oled
# [[ -e /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled ]] && /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled $1

Code: Select all

[AmintaMister]

Ok, I think I've found a config that seems to work.

user-startup.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

echo "***" $1 "***"

sh /media/fat/Scripts/cifs_mount.sh


# mrext/tapto
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/tapto.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/tapto.sh -service $1

# Startup favorites
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/favorites.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/favorites.sh refresh


# mrext/remote
[[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/remote.sh ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/remote.sh -service $1

# Startup tty2oled
[[ -e /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled ]] && /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled $1

Now, with this startup configuration TapTo device is assigned to USB0, tty2oled to USB1:

Code: Select all

[    1.984790] usb 1-1.3: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[    4.071543] ch341-uart ttyUSB1: break control not supported, using simulated break
[    4.071805] usb 1-1.7.4: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[    6.328665] cdc_acm 1-1.7.1.1.4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

So, in tty2oled-user.ini I set:

Code: Select all

TTYDEV="/dev/ttyUSB1"

[MiSTer Consoles]

Ok, I think I've found a config that seems to work.

user-startup.sh
Now, with this startup configuration TapTo device is assigned to USB0, tty2oled to USB1:

Code: Select all

[    1.984790] usb 1-1.3: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[    4.071543] ch341-uart ttyUSB1: break control not supported, using simulated break
[    4.071805] usb 1-1.7.4: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[    6.328665] cdc_acm 1-1.7.1.1.4:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

Where do you see these messages about which USB each device is assigned to? Is it in the startup output when you SSH into MiSTer?

[venice]

There is a wiki page with, I think, helpful things…

Follow the white rabbit

[venice]

@all
If you add USB hardware to you mister it can happen that your display get another ttyUSB Port assigned.

Use the dmesg command from the troubleshooting page and start with only the display connected to MiSTer.
Then reboot with the new device connected tho see the difference.
The „lsusb“ command can help as well. Try it.

I am using my tty2oled display at the USB Port with the lowest number to be sure to get a/the low(est) ttyUSB Number assigned.

I add parts of this and the previous posts to post #3
viewtopic.php?p=16725#p16725
Maybe helpful.

[NightShadowPT]

Hi,

I am having the exact same problem here... since installing my TapTo reader, my tty2oled stopped working properly.

The symptoms are exactly the same, the screen shows the boot logo, followed by a very quick display of UU, and then Black.

I have tried changing the order in user-startup.sh to have TapTo start first, but didn't work.

Also, if I have the tty2oled connected, my TapTo takes a lot longer to boot...

[venice]

Did you configure the interfaces of TapTo and tty2oled correctly in your config files and stop the TapTo probing?

I need (to find my) TapTo Hardware at first, then in can do some tests.

[venice]

Found it

Here my config which works with tty2oled and with or without the TapTo Device connected!

First, the ttyUSB Devices.
The first Device in the list is my tty2oled Display, the second is the TapTo Reader.

Code: Select all

/root# dmesg | grep tty
[    1.973877] usb 1-1.2: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[    2.190865] usb 1-1.3: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB1

Both using an cp210x USB-Serial Chip.

And my tapto.ini File in /media/fat/Scripts/
I have disabled the probing and set the Serial to the correct device.

Code: Select all

[tapto]
connection_string=
allow_commands=false
disable_sounds=false
#probe_device=true    #line commented out
exit_game=false
exit_game_blocklist=
exit_game_delay=0
debug=false
api_port=7497
api_basic_auth=

#serial interface set and probing disabled
reader="pn532_uart:/dev/ttyUSB1
probe_device=false

[systems]

No need for a delay or to change the boot order.
Nothing complicate I think.

//Edit
This configuration is based on my hardware, yours can be different.

I still wait for Postcards
