Quickstart

Blaupause

What you will need

  • an olimexino (a maple will probably work too, although you might have to connect an SD card)
  • the matching maple ide (I used v0.0.12)
  • an SD card
  • the library .zip (see downloads)
  • a low voltage TTL to LVDS converter/driver (I used SN65LVDS049)
  • breakout board for the chip (if necessary)
  • a Canon Pixma MP620 or MP630 front panel

What to do

  1. connect the olimexino, the front panel and the converter to each other, if you used the SN65LVDS049 the necessary connections are listed on this page: Hardware/Wiring for Olimexino/Maple boards
    If you used another chip connect the wires accordingly.
  2. extract the contents of the .zip to someplace on your harddrive
  3. copy the folder "mapleSDfat" and "PixmaFrontpanel" from the "libraries" folder of the zip to the "libraries" folder of your maple-ide installation
  4. copy the .bmp files from the "copy-to-SDcard-root.zip" .zip file in the "Demo Code" folder to the root of an SD card and insert the SD card into your olimexino/maple board
  5. open the .pde sketch inside the "Demo Code" folder with the maple-ide and upload it to your board
  6. the LED of the olimexino should light up when the code starts and you should see a progress bar. Dont worry if the bar gets stuck for a few moments. After that you should be able to see the beach demo. :)
