GREDDIE Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I've managed to f-up two Pacdrives now, it serves me right for jumping in and connecting up the wires incorrectly. I think I've got 5v back into one of the terminals and toasted the board as I can't get it to be recognised anymore. I just wanted to check there isn't a utility (other than Blinky) that will reflash the board is there? In the meantime I've bought my third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) You cannot reflash the Pacdrive AFAIK But I will say stick with the Pacdrives as the other boards from Ultimarc are totally useless for MFME cabinets as they just don't work quickly enough. Another issue is that each 8 bit port needs it's own message to drive, you cannot update all the ports with one USB message like you can with the Pacdrive. I now remember why I designed and built my own USB interface. Edited May 7, 2020 by Wizard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much it would cost to manufacture your board? https://jlcpcb.com/ Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be! Fruit Machine <<<My new project!
