Personally I separate that work from the commercial HxC firmware. This has had a fairly clear run the past few years (aside from Cortex on Amiga, and the original Gotek firmware for IBM/PC), now it has further competition. That's how the world turns. |

Competition is a good thing.
Just look at how many fixes and new features were added to both firmwares since FlashFloppy was first released! |

Guys, how do I disable display fading when the emulator is not active? Tried to use the select button when there is no media inserted but it seems to do nothing

I'm considering to make the default to never turn off the backlight? It seems to be quite a source of annoyance that it turns off at all! Alternatively this would be a parameter, along with default floppy interface (PC, Shugart, ...) which could perhaps be stored in a config block on Flash so it is available at boot even with no USB media inserted. I guess this is what you mean by "select button with no media inserted", but: 1. F-F does not support select (3rd) button 2. F-F does not store a config block in Flash To both of these might be added the proviso: "yet" Last edited by Keir; 23 September 2017 at 12:41. |

Hi Keir,
congratulations to your project. Very good work. I'm looking every day if there's a new firmware available. It's working great on my Amiga 500. The next days I want to connect the rotary encoder. I have just one question if it would be ok for you to tell me which tool you are using for coding? I tried to compile it with my Linux but without success, I can't find any Includes in your Code, is that actually new in C? I learned C/C++ about 15years ago and use it since about 2 years again, only coding AVR Controllers with Codeblocks and the Arduino IDE and just playing around with that electronic stuff. Sorry for my bad english but I haven't often the chance to write and speak in english. Have a nice weekend Tommy |

It doesn't look to me like a negative issue the display being off when the floppy emulator is not in use... |

# sudo apt-get install git gcc-arm-none-eabi srecord stm32flash python-crcmod Then grab the codebase: # git clone https://github.com/keirf/FlashFloppy And build it: # cd FlashFloppy # make -j8 dist You now have the distribution zip file Includes are (mostly) under inc/: see the "-iquote $(ROOT)/inc" command line option in Rules.mk, which makes all those files accessible as a standard include path. |

I've just found out a small "glitch" regarding usage on amstrad cpc (with latest 0.7.2 firmware).
When you set the gotek as "drive B" (e.g. you don't drive the "SELECT drive 1" signal on external drive connector to ground) , it prevents the internal 3" drive A to function. When i tried to CAT a 3" disk, give's me a "read fail" error, but as soon as i remove power from gotek, it works fine. I found a "work around" to this, by setting gotek jumper to S0, power up both amstrad and gotek, and then change "on the fly" jumper to S1. That way, you can access both internal 3"drive A and gotek drive B. Note that gotek must be set to S1 in order to work as DRIVE A (when on amiga and atari st need to be in S0 position),so i was wondering if you can change something in Amstrad cpc config file in order for the gotek drive to function on S0 position, as most probable this will solve the problem. |

By the way my own testing on CPC was by replacing internal drive and using my own design of adapter to convert the 26-pin ribbon to a 34-pin connection. In that case S0 was the correct setting for the Gotek. |

@kaffer - could you provide https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ke...ets/rotenc.jpg in higher resolution?
Currently I can't read the text on the schematics - it is too small and distorted by JPEG compression... |
