I'll push Ksiegarnia to update the tracking numbers, but priority now is to get those packages going out.

Feel free to contact Ksiegarnia directly ONLY if you received a notification of SHIPPED but no information about tracking number.

Also make sure you check your spam foler. According to Ksiegarnia, most of the trackings have been already sent.

Found a bit of time to update the firmware and I took the opportunity to install the support PCBs too.

I did have one issue that it might be worth pointing out for anyone else. I found that one of the clips on the one of the support PCBs fouled on a cap on my Rev 4 B board. This meant that the pins on the RH side of the board were not seated fully and the board didn't run properly. I had to flush cut the part of the pillar that protrudes though the PCB. After that it booted fine. It's this pillar/cap closest to the edge of the PCB here:

I had the messed up audio issue on my board so I unsoldered the PAL G pin 9 > CN5 CN13 wire, lifted the pin 9 leg and then soldered a wire to it and connected to J17 and that fixed it :)

Image

Auto reset now works and it's a great improvement. Thanks for implementing that darksoft & co :thumbupright:

I'm finished with my STM32 Discovery kit for now if anyone in the UK wants to borrow it, just pay shipping. I've made up some single dupoint wires for it you can use. I have a Sun ATX PSU on my bench so I used that to power the multi via a little adapter. I can send that too if you want, you'll just need to solder a two pin (or two one pin) dupont connectors to your board.

With the stabilizer board just make sure that middle post is closer to the connector and it won't interfere with the cap. That one can be installed both ways whereas the other stabilizer can only be installed one direction.

Ah gotcha. Take note anyone else installing them :)

I had already fixed mine to the PCB by then and I didn't want to handle the board any more than I needed to. I was impressed by how snug a fit the support boards were , once installed there is pretty much no way the pins can be misaligned. :thumbupright:

You ordered pretty late, but your kit should leave tomorrow. Same for Braintrash and PRNeo80.

Thank you, mystery person


EDIT: just tested this on my multi cart - works sweet

Just to note, please ensure you copy the entire folders across on your SD card. Its not just a matter of an updated .01 file. Youll see there is one extra file added as well (i think there's a .04 file which wasn't there before) - so now there are 12 files instead of 11 in each folder.
Very cool
