Build Configuration For CDTV

You can use the precompiled file hex/USB2Amiga.CDTV.hex to program the Arduino pro mini 328p 3.3V.

(Is the mentioned level shifter necessary?)

Pull the non-joystick signals through a level shifter with LV# on Arduino side and HV# on CDTV side. The pins 2, 3 and 6 match the layout of the typical 4-bit level shifters, where the pins in the center are used for GND and refence voltage. The joystick interface is purely passive, so there is no need for level shifting. This also means that the CD32 gamepad will not work properly.

Also connect +5V from only one of the ports to RAW on the Arduino Pro Mini and HV on the level shifter. The +5V from the 5-pin connector (labeled "K/B") is switched off when the unit goes to standby, the +5V from the 4-pin connector (labeled "Remote") is always on. So don't short these two. LV of the level shifter is connected to 3.3V (VCC) on the Arduino.

GND should be connected to both CDTV ports, GND on both sides of the level shifter and GND on the Arduino. This way the converter works also when only one port is connected for that port.
