Description
Overview
We’ve partnered with Ian Scott to use the same front panel design and overall case layout as his PicoIDE front panel.
The Front Panel works with all the BlueSCSI Ultra devices, and the BlueSCSI V2 desktop (via QWIIC connector). You will need to choose the v2 option if buying for a V2 desktop or Powerbook.
Device Support
This front-panel uses the same hardware and firmware as the PicoIDE which will be open sourced once the PicoIDE ships. You can find information about how to use it at https://bluescsi.com/docs/Front-Panel – GPLv3 code for the BlueSCSI beta firmware is at https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2/releases/tag/panel/
You can also visit the documentation page here – https://picoide.com/docs/front-panel/ to see how it functions in the PicoIDE.
Remember the BlueSCSI Ultra Narrow requires Expander to work with this. Ultra Wide (68 pin and SCA 80 pin) has the SPI port built-in, so it doesn’t need the Expander.
