Arduino Flashing Instructions (Windows)

Click here to see full text

Before getting started, determine what type of Arduino you have and what the chip is (just examine the the surface of the large chip on your Arduino). Also make sure you have the Arduino IDE unzipped somewhere.

1. Download the zip bundle from the Downloads page corresponding to your board and chip.
2. Unzip the bundle.
3. Copy "psgroove.hex" and "psgroove_install.bat" to your arduino install directory (same folder as Arduino.exe).
4. Run psgroove_install.bat

Troubleshooting

If the flashing fails you might need to adjust the COM used in psgroove_install.bat. To do this:

1. Open your Arduino IDE
2. Verify your Arduino settings by uploading any sketch (even a blank sketch with "void setup() {} void loop() {}" will do).
3. Find your COM port number in Tools->Serial Port
4. Edit psgroove_install.bat, changing COM3 to the com port you found.

Another issue noted by users of the Duemilanove is that it might not flash due to chip mismatch. Find the chip model number on your arduino and change atmega168 to atmega328 or atmega328p accordingly.

Before getting started make sure you have avrdude installed. Check your distro for install instructions. For reference for ubuntu you can do: sudo apt-get install avrdude

1. Identify your arduino board and chip
2. Download the appropriate package from the Downloads section
3. Unpack the zip file
4. Edit psgroove_install.sh, change the DEVICE variable to match your chip
5. Make psgroove_install.sh executable by doing chmod +x psgroove_install.sh
6. Plug in your arduino
7. ./psgroove_install.sh

Download and install the Arduino IDE according to the Getting Started Page. Alternately you could install avrdude.

1. Identify your arduino board and chip
2. Download the package matching your board and chip from the Downloads section
3. Unzip the package
4. Edit psgroove_install.sh, change DEVICE to match your chip.
5. Make psgroove_install.sh executable by doing chmod +x psgroove_install.sh
6. Run the installer ./psgroove_install.sh

Thanks to ricardopvz for the news tip.


Edit from mcd1992:
The source of this is from a guy called TimWu or xen0.

Also keep in mind people this isn't as simple as the other ports. You are required to strip your own usb cable and setup the resistors/diodes and all that like in the schematic. So in other words if you've never messed with resistors or any form of 'hardware electronics' then you'd be better off buying some other port. Now given the simplest setup is connecting the USB cable to the arduino as specified and just putting a pull-up resistor onto the D- line, you'll be feeding your PS3 5v tho which isn't recommended but nonetheless will work.

This is awesome XD

How much do these go for? And where can you purchase them?

Also kind of looks like a monster.

In Poland I can get it without any problem. Price is c.a. 30 USD with delivery...

Sounds like a good place. I'd get one of these myself, but is there any difference with each USB board in what you can or can't do?

Got about 2200 in stock at this place for 30 US

My hats off to the gent/dame who ported this. Can't wait to try it out when I get my hands on some Zener diodes.

A friendly warning: please note that Pirate's did not explicitly mention every step needed to get PSGroove onto the Arduino. In the zip file you will see schematic.png, which indicates the ADDITIONAL electronic circuitry that you need to build for this to work. The circuit doesn't appear to be hard to build, and all the components are easily obtainable. Once built, you can power the Arduino either externally or via USB (so you can check the debug printouts), and connect the other end of the spliced USB cable (if you decided to splice a cable) to the PS3.

If you don't understand the schematic image or my description above, then this method is probably not going to work out for you. I recommend ordering a Teensy(++), which will most likely have better support and more up-to-date PSGroove firmwares.

nice, they are on Amazon, seems that i finally can get one for me

[Mistawes]

Brilliant news!

Does this support the NoBluray Backup Manager?

Also, would ATmega328 P-20AU work with this? It has a bootloader and a reset button onboard. It doesn't look anything like the Arduino's mentioned, more like an AT90 chip..

Just if anyone knows, I'd love to hear!

[MastricX]

Any link for those diodes?
