- Supported microcontrollers
- Micro USB data cable to communicate with a PC for flashing the firmware once.
The firmware is already pre-built available in our release section. Just go ahead and download your prefered version (we surely recommend to use the lastest one). Please follow the described steps.
- Download the lastest UF2 file or your prefered release
- Press and hold the BOOT button on the microcontroller while connecting it to PC via Micro USB data cable
- A file explorer window will open and a (virtual) drive. Copy the downloaded UF2 firwmare file into that drive.
- After finish copying the file just disconnect the microcontroller from the PC.
In general there is no specific further configuration needed. You just have to connect the microcontroller with a Micro USB cable to the PS5™.
The onboard LED of the board will show the status of the Bluetooth connection.
- Blinking
- The microcontroller is scanning for the HD2 Macropad
- Constant
- The microcontroller successfully found and connected the HD2 Macropad
