Well Ive done loads of hacks , and have loads of cubes laying around and 1 dead controller. I also have the knowledge and equipment to do any hardware hack. So if its a chip change out, and/or reroute, I can do it. Just need to know which chips. Here is a board with its wafer removed. I Probably should have cleaned it for a presentation, but I just wanted to get it done. The grey "cracked" particles on the top right is not damage to the pcb, its just dried thermal grease.

Well as far as I know (Lightfoot should jump in on this) is (again I know zip) you trace the leads on a Titan bridge pin to pin that the bridge connects to the Raspberry Pi B+ 512mb and thru to the 4/6 port Neptune board or whatever. Again Spagetti Wire pin to pin what the titan bridge board connects to via the titan bridge arrangement (clone of such or otherwise)
The only catch is (I heard) that the Titan Bridge Board has a 'tiny' CLOCK chip it needs in this Titan Bridge arrangement. TOO tiny (even if we knew what it was for brand) to kinda sorta hack into some kinda of protoboard pin to pin Spaghetti arrangement. If was not for knowing WHAT the chip IS (proper type/brand/model etc) and IF there was a LARGER equivalent clock chip (if that is what it is) that a person could solder or connect in the proper circuit.spaghetti lead pin to pin .matching the titan bridge....Well hell I would have tried this already using the Raspberry Pi protoboard below. Stumped by this supposed clock chip and the how to on below.
(I have a Saturn 4 port board laying around here and the protoboads (see links below) are not imho that expensive....for such a mad scientist experiment)
Image of the Raspberry Pi protoboard ...Spaghetti like hack a person could attempt ...if again the chip in the Titan bridge board is REALLY a clock chip and you could find a larger equiv to put in the setup properly with the protoboard below say.
protoboard w/leads in use
leads you can use on such
below is some of the above for sale you would need

or the protoboard price below
ASSUMING the one below works free shipping $14.80 usd

Again the 'tracing of the pins" would be a pain...but the small supposed tiny clock chip (if that is what it is) has me stumped....don't need the LCD lights imho from
the daughter board imho.
THE OTHER MORE ELEGANT OPTION IS ANOTHER Qberty clone Bridge run...but damn that was/is spendy
We need to get a bit more the 10 folk and contact Qberty again say for a run of cloned Titan Bridge Boards (last run was 10 boards....) BUT man at 0.5 BTC or at $423 BTC or equivalent
price of $211.75 for such a hack ....on top of ALREADY having a Neptune/Jupiter/Saturn/Mercury 4/6 port board laying about (they go for $100 bucks on ebay) way over the top if you don't have a proper 4/6 port card you can mod laying about.
It is just too steep if you can get a complete Titan Board for around 250 to 300 usd on BTC talk maybe a bit more on Ebay.
But the daughter board arrangement thru Qberty is the more elegant solution...I just don't see a way to make them cheap enough to be worth it anymore (unless you are repairing a previous burnt bridge on your already owned and broke titan controller) he had (again from what I could tell) a heck of a time getting a run of 10 boards out ..and he kept 3 for his own fixes.
Anyway just my thoughts......it seems SO CLOSE to workable in my feeble attempts to grasp such. All I know for sure is my clone Titan Bridge to Neptune hack .hell with the LCD from Neptune Card left on ...ACTS like a perfect Titan Controller board.....so with 1 Jupiter 4 port controller and 1 Saturn 4 port controller laying around mocking me...thus my
attempt at a cost effective work around.
Now I hope someone makes this all moot with a BBB to titan cube direct firmware fix.....shoot down the above on that at any time
I would be the first in line.
anyway so it goes
