Would it be possible to have the i2c header for an OLED expansion, like the one that comes with the MT32-Pi?

Please consider routing the CSI pins from the CM4 to a TC358743XBG. This will allow you to have HDMI input. Ultimately, we can have the option of routing the video output (with the miniPCIe VGA solution with HDMI) to be sent remotely. That will allow you to have your MS-DOS or Win98 box accessible …

The CM4 can easily emulate a modem, same as the ESP8266. ;) So, the CM4 is going to do MT32pi as well as retro modem? I wasn't thinking mt32-pi (though I suppose you could do that as well). But rather a standard linux distro with several services running. The CM4 has more than enough IO and …

That's my thought as well! My gut was telling me that I needed to flash something on it but I'm a noob at this stuff still, so I thought there was a chance I missed something and maybe the BIOS flash also covered the ATTINY. I found a firmware he posted for someone to test a while back for the …

I love this setup. You truly have created something special here my guy. It fits with what I feel the whole principle of this build should be. Would you mind sharing the name of the case you used? If not that's cool Do you think the AGP riser would work without shortening it? I just don't have the …

Hey guys I need your help. I built my ITX llama and everything seems to be working except anything connected to the ATTINY. I checked all my solder connections and everything seems to be fine. the LED is soldered in correctly and I can trigger it with my meter when I'm testing voltage on the pins. …

By the way, since you are using the CM4, I have some previous projects with it which build a CM4 "sandwich". Here is a link to the github with all the projects. https://github.com/opencomputeproject/Time-Ap … bation/Hardware

Even though I had a functional ITX board, I decided to make one from scratch and solder the components one by one. I always enjoyed building Eivind's art work piece by piece, manually. One more thing, I routed the ESP8266 to the outside of the case and I was facing problems when I was trying to …

And I got the SM-750 with HDMI output to work. Yay! Now I want to inject the audio over the HDMI cable as well. Not sure if that is analog and digital. If digital, I need to figure out to do the conversion first. Hey, I know this is a bit of an older post but where did you get the SM-750? Any time …

OK edit number two I was able to get everything working by adding that capacitor and checking the circuit on the USB I found I wasn’t getting 5 V due to one of the fuses, not being soldered all the way, which would explain why I needed to provide power to get the chip to flash also had the same …

Here are the results from modifying the front panel to host the OLED display for the MT32-Pi Nice , going to do something similar, but also add buttons to be able to switch btw gm and Roland mt32 :) Yeah, I thought about doing that in a clean way. Then I came up with a touch based method were you …

Also, in case anyone likes a proof that this is working, I attached more pictures. I also attached a picture of how much of that cable I had to trim.
