WARNING: This project is currently incomplete. Do not use the board yet! The PCB and firmware have not been tested!

• board_sch - board and schematic files for KiCad
• rx5cart.ino - firmware for the teensy
• transfer.py - software for interfacing to the RX5Cart

Loading the firmware

You will need Teensyduino. Download and instructions are here.

Open the rx5cart.ino file in the Arduino software, plug in the teensy, and press Upload.

Using the transfer software

• You will need Python 3 and the pyserial package.
• To read RAM into a file, use python transfer.py -r file.bin
• To write to RAM from a file, use python transfer.py -w file.bin
• By default it uses the device /dev/ttyACM0. You can use the -d flag to change it.
