Hi, I’m going to buy Cobra II mainboard with 16x2 display and 3x4 keyboarb using extender module.
Now I’m writing some code for testing purpose without testing over Cobra II
I try use MS Simulator, but doesn’t work with display code. I suppose because the hardware is not properly simulated.
Is there a simutaor for test my cose without connect USB mainboard ?
Now I’ve startered a Gadgeteer project adding Cobra II connected to display and extender module.
I’ve some code to try but i’ve some trouble…
Thank you in advance.
