looks like I need an hid interface
Greetings all;
I am trying to install a BLTouch kit in an Ender-3 3d printer.
The BLTouch is a gismo that touches the printers bed and records for
later correction, any errors in the bed leveling, a very important
item in a 3d printer.
This kit has a very sparsely described installation proceedure which
includes a usb to hid/spi interface that plugs into a 6 pin interface
socket on the printers control board. With only a 2 foot cable. :(
Its also written assuming a windows computer is available. Which there
is not at this linux only location.
dmesg reports it like this on a stretch machine.
[1543461.117873] snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC0D2: HDMI: pin nid 7 not registered
[1543491.958435] usb 1-12.4.1.3: new low-speed USB device number 81 using xhci_hcd
[1543492.184129] usb 1-12.4.1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=03eb, idProduct=c8b4, bcdDevice= 1.00
[1543492.184136] usb 1-12.4.1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[1543492.184140] usb 1-12.4.1.3: Product: USBHID
[1543492.184143] usb 1-12.4.1.3: Manufacturer: zhifengsoft
And duplicates this on a buster machine except for the obvious changes
in the usb bus address.
The windows .exe program used to run this thing which is called a
burner, is "progisp.exe".
It looks as if dfu-programmer might work, but I just went to a buster
machine and installed dfu-* but the --targets listing output does not
include this particular ATmega1284p chip.
Is there a newer version of dfu-programmer that does work with this
programmer and chip? Or do I have to round up a windoze box and hope
it comes with a recent copy of progisp.exe?
Thanks all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
