TASOLLER Custom Firmware (Host MCU - Application ROM)

See Development for development information.

Yes, the code is a mess. I just wanted to get something onto git y'know :).

Setup

Installing Firmware

• Disconnect the PC cable from the TASOLLER
• Hold down the FN2 button, while reconnecting the PC cable
• HOSTMCU should show as a device
• Use Update V1.1.exe from official firmware updates to load the firmware

Currently, Dao CFW is required on the LED board. This is controlled by LED_FIRMWARE_CFW in src/led.h.

Configuring segatools

This firmware emulates arcade IO. As such, segatools' emulation should be disabled, by adding the following lines:

[slider]
enable=0
[io4]
enable=0

Ensure no other [slider] section exists in the file (or if it does, set enable=0 there instead).

The slider MUST be assigned to port COM1. To do this:

• Go to Devices and Printers in control panel
• Double click TASOLLER
• In the Hardware tab, double click USB Serial Device
  • If this already reads USB Serial Device (COM1) nothing needs done
• Click Change settings
• Go to Port Settings -> Advanced...
• Under the dropdown for COM Port Number: select COM1

If COM1 is already in use, check what device it is assigned to in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT). You may need to enable View -> Show hidden devices.

Pre-chusan Chunithm uses IO3. This firmware does not (and unfortunately cannot) support IO3. It is recommended to enable the HID keyboard mode, and continue to use keyboard input for IRs.

Configuration

Hold FN2 for configuration. It is not the same as stock DAO.

• Pad 1/2 (cell 0): Left wing colour
• Pad 3/4 (cell 1): Ground colour
• Pad 5/6 (cell 2): Ground colour when pressed, and separator colour
• Pad 7/8 (cell 3): Right wing colour
• Pad 9/10 (cell 4): No function
• Pad 11/12 (cell 5): Toggle rainbow effect on/off
• Pad 13/14 (cell 6): Increase/decrease ground brightness
• Pad 15/16 (cell 7): Increase/decrease wing brightness
• Pad 17/18 (cell 8): No function
• Pad 19/20 (cell 9): No function
• Pad 21/22 (cell 10): No function
• Pad 23/24 (cell 11): No function
• Pad 25/26 (cell 12): Increase/decrease sensitivity
• Pad 27/28 (cell 13): No function
• Pad 29/30 (cell 14): Toggle HID keyboard mode
• Pad 31/32 (cell 15): Toggle IO4 emulation mode

Calibration

Make sure no hands or objects are near the slider before starting calibration.

Hold FN1 for two seconds; the slider will flash red for a few seconds, then fill up with a blue bar.

The slider will then briefly flash green. After this, begin to rub your hands across the slider as much as possible! The cells will turn increasingly green; the greener you can get them the better. Once the dividers have turned green you can save your calibration by pressing FN2.

Note: Calibration is a separate process to adjusting the sensor sensitivity. It is recommended to re-calibrate after adjustment of sensitivity. For the best performance, run a re-calibration before every play session to account for changes in your room's temperature and humidity.
