I have acquired some LGT8F328P-LQFP32 Nano clone boards as a development discovery as the spec on these are phenomenal but alas I have fallen at the first hurdle. I cannot talk to these little beastie's as I cannot find a USB-CDC Serial driver anywhere for my Steam Driven Win 7 PC
Anyone have any suggestions?
This page has some instructions: LGT8F328P LQFP32 MiniEVB Alternative Arduino Nano V3.0 ATMEGA328P (hallroad.org)
CH9340SER.zip (135.7 KB)
Problem resolved. The UART device is the infamous CH9340 Despite what the bloke who sold me them says. (Plonker!)
Still not out of the woods yet as I don't think they have the Arduino Boot Loader installed on them. On the bright side I only £1.75 each for them.
I would like to share the CH9340 Driver with everyone but I don't know where to put it?
p.s. Thanks to the help from er_name_not_found I have attached the CH9340 driver to this post.
You can post the link to where you found it.
You can also use the upload button and share it as a zip file:
How many of those did you get?
I'll do that.
I bought 10 of them.
Yes, I like those little OLED displays, I have heaps of them in my junk box. One of the problems I have is the font sizes. It's either too small or too large.
How are getting on with your [LGT8F328P nano clones?
These just landed by snail mail this morning and so far I haven't made much progress with them. Now that I can talk to them I'm finding I need to set the External Oscillator up on my IDE. Something else I haven't done before at least that is what I'm thinking is preventing me from uploading a test sketch too.
You can move your post to bootloader issues and add an addendum to the original post asking for bootloader help.
There is a Chap Called Ralph Bacon who has done a very, very good tutorial on YouTube (#156 LGT8F328P Replacement for ATMEGA328P (at 32MHz 😲) - YouTube) Extremely knowledgeable guy who has explained how to crank these beasties up to 32Mhz PROPERLY.
He has also created an excellent collection of files etc. on his GitHub site.
I'm trying to work my way through the reams of information to make sure I get this right first time.
Don't think I'm doing too bad for a three week old Arduino Newbie !
That's a mountain, but it looks like you've got the gear to climb it.
I'm sure you'll succeed.
Afterwards you should consider writing a simplified tutorial for the tutorials section on this site.
