Jul 09 18:48:13 <dwc-> matty-hart: I have a vague recollection of hearing about that....
Jul 09 18:48:31 <dwc-> I don't ever looked much into that
Jul 09 18:48:34 <dwc-> *didn't
Jul 09 20:07:31 <matty-hart> dwc-: you're not the only one, i can't find anything about it, so for now the touchpad remains a doorstop :)
Jul 09 23:15:51 <LarrySteeze> matty-hart: you around?
Jul 09 23:22:27 <matty-hart> LarrySteeze: yep
Jul 09 23:22:52 <LarrySteeze> I have a time stamp but not a date where you were trying to get your touchpad working
Jul 09 23:23:04 <LarrySteeze> I have no idea how long it was, but have you figured out your issue?
Jul 09 23:24:33 <matty-hart> ah, well I'm not trying to put any OS on it, I was trying to get serial console access so I could do some kernel boot testing on it
Jul 09 23:24:54 <LarrySteeze> You need to use a ttl adapter
Jul 09 23:25:02 <matty-hart> i have one of those
Jul 09 23:25:03 <LarrySteeze> I suggest FTDI
Jul 09 23:25:13 <matty-hart> indeed it is FTDI
Jul 09 23:25:26 <LarrySteeze> Oh. So you've got it
Jul 09 23:25:38 <LarrySteeze> I didn't realize. I thought you were having issues, sorry
Jul 09 23:26:00 <matty-hart> i have a 4-pin FTDI ttl adapter
Jul 09 23:26:04 <matty-hart> but no idea where to connect it
Jul 09 23:26:08 <LarrySteeze> that's exactly what you need
Jul 09 23:26:37 <LarrySteeze> oh
Jul 09 23:26:57 <LarrySteeze> Did you make a factory cable
Jul 09 23:27:25 <LarrySteeze> for the headphone
Jul 09 23:27:54 <matty-hart> ive been trying to, but i dont know what connects to what. I bought a 4-way 3.5mm stereo cable and split the wires up, and i've got a TTL adapter with 4 wires to connect
Jul 09 23:28:10 <LarrySteeze> ok
Jul 09 23:28:19 <LarrySteeze> So TRRS
Jul 09 23:29:23 <LarrySteeze> Give me a second, been a while
Jul 09 23:33:30 <LarrySteeze> So if I remember correctly, you'll want to connect tx to sleeve, rx to ring, and vcc to R1. But honestly, you should be able to use just a TRS cable and skip VCC if your device has power.
Jul 09 23:33:47 <LarrySteeze> In fact, in my opinion, that's generally safer in case you get the ground and power mixed up
Jul 09 23:34:18 <LarrySteeze> give me a second and I will try to find you a guide
Jul 09 23:35:16 <LarrySteeze> How familiar are you with UART?
Jul 09 23:44:01 <matty-hart> that connection layout is exactly what i need
Jul 09 23:44:11 <matty-hart> what about ground?
Jul 09 23:46:09 <LarrySteeze> Ground goes to ground
Jul 09 23:46:37 <LarrySteeze> But please try it without power to start because if I remember  incorrectly, I don't want to fry your device
Jul 09 23:47:08 <matty-hart> sure
Jul 09 23:47:15 <LarrySteeze> If I remember right, it is the same as the nexus 4
Jul 09 23:47:27 <LarrySteeze> and that information is what I found for the nexus 4
Jul 09 23:47:58 <matty-hart> aha
Jul 09 23:49:06 <LarrySteeze> I don't trust my memory enough to recommend you connect power at all
Jul 09 23:49:18 <LarrySteeze> and really don't want to be responsible for a brick
Jul 09 23:51:14 <matty-hart> is there anything needed to activate serial once ive made the cable?
Jul 09 23:52:40 <LarrySteeze> There must be, but i really don't remember. I never did it myself, I only was around while others were talking about it.
Jul 10 00:05:55 <matty-hart> so to be clear, on the TRRS jack I've got TIP, RING1, RING2, SLEEVE, and from the FTDI TTL I've got GROUND, TX, RX, 5V. Which goes to which?
Jul 10 00:15:41 <matty-hart> LarrySteeze|Away: ^^

Jul 10 00:50:20 <LarrySteeze> I'm headed to bed
Jul 10 00:50:21 <LarrySteeze> adios
