You may want to check the GitHub for the project and try to update the firmware. The GitHub should also have a guide on how to hook it up, it's been a minute but it does require two USB cables IIRC, one for power, one for the I/O.

i followed the directions on the github and his video. when i hold the service and plug into my pc the 1st time i added the winusb driver but now it just disconnects and doesn't stay connected to flash. im going to try a laptop that doesn't show 57 other usb things connected to try and narrow it down.

FWIW, here is a list of recommended sellers from the creator:
https://toyoshim.github.io/iona-us/shop_en
Also, it is worth pointing out that the license appears to permit anyone to make and sell the boards, but the creator prefers that you buy from recommended sellers to support the project. Per the GitHub:

I'd advise opening a separate thread for these kind of questions as it's inappopriate in a for sale thread imo. Next to that, this is the original version being sold here.
Finally got a big batch of these back in stock, hit me up on PM to purchase. Shipping worldwide.
Please no further discussion in any capacity regarding clone devices. Be decent and show some respect and restraint.
I have stock of the latest board revision loaded with the latest firmware for sale if anyone needs it. Hit me on the PM.

I think some explanation regarding how these are different than the other boards could clear up the things. How is this different than "clone" boards (although not sure term clone is correct here as both are based on a open source design). Are these (listed here) made by the original creator of this project? How does the creator get supported by buying these from recommended shops, does the original creator get a royalty from these sales? Things like that can clear up confusions for the potential buyers and encourage them to buy these from recommended shops.
The original product supports the creator and states clearly who made it and which product it is. I honestly think that the creator says it's OK becuase he can't fight chinese bootleggers, but in all cases I will buy and support from the creator or authorised products. This is made for us to enjoy, let's make sure the guy gets the credit and support. @Mitsurugi-w

Only thing that is worth mentioning about those clones is that they are TOTAL CRAP and have compatibility issues. SO STAY AWAY PEOPLE!

That explains for us who didnt know. Thank you!
Has anyone got one of these to work with a Lindbergh system? I saw on the project page it has Lindbergh in the supported systems, but it's just written once and i can't get it to work. Trying to get Loving Deeds House of the dead to boot past the IO check but i get no luck with this device. Just wondering if anyone can confirm it works with their Lindbergh system?
EDIT: Scratch that, i answered my own question, it does work.

I should say it *works.
Trying to get it to boot on Loving Deeds House of the Dead, it identifies and initializes but then the game throws a "this io board doesn't meet the requirements for this game" error. So it's detecting it as an IO (light goes solid blue), but it just doesn't get you playing. I updated to latest firmware and loaded a profile of sega with basically support for all the maximum things you can setup.

Does anyone know if there's a way to READ what your current configuration is on these devices? I want this device to work so bad, but i want to smash it with a hammer at the same time.... It's an awesome product in concept, but configuration of it is just so tedious to me. Especially if it doesn't work the way you think you programmed it, trying to understand how it's currently configured seems to be not possible? So you have to sort of wing it with up to 6 profiles, and remember what you put in each one, and then use a flashing LED to know what profile you have selected, but then there's also this map here that is a bunch of other settings menus that you have to press test and service to get into, but then you also press test and service to choose the layout, and if the chart is to be believed, you also press test and service to factory reset.... How do i know if i'm selecting a profile or if i'm in the navigational menu flow below? It's confusing much to me.
I'd pay significantly more money for one of these devices if it had an OLED/LCD screen and you could see what profile is currently selected and some sort of "current config" information. Invizm... we need you!
I'm not ripping on the product, i want to make it work, i just lack... the intellect to be able to understand properly how i should drive it. So I'm sure this is a me issue.
Attempting to learn how this works for myself and decipher all the info on the settings page. I have a v2 board that is updated to the latest firmware, and i have no issues connecting this device to my browser.
V2 board needs the jumper pins connected to update the firmware.So an assumption here will be made that a person knows how to connect the device and has the latest firmware on their device.
I'll break these sections up in numbers. I will update each section if anyone adds new information, i am not an expert and not sure i even understand each section works. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION ABOUT HOW SOMETHING WORKS AND ITS NOT DOCUMENTED.
NOTE: The word set, when i talk about set 1 and set 2 etc, it means profiles. They use the word set but just convert it in your head to profile.
Set 1 = Profile 1
Set 2 = Profile 2
etc
SECTION 1: SETTINGS
SETTINGS BUTTON 1 [SAVE CHANGES]:
This saves everything back to your device. Whatever you have configured, at this point, it saves it back to your device. It is unknown if you have to refresh the page after you have saved once, for save to work again. The text where it says CONNECTED, changes to SAVED when you save, but then it's stuck on SAVED. So I am not sure if you can save multiple times or if you have to refresh the page after every save, but then you will also lose anything you configured on the page if you do refresh.
SETTINGS BUTTON 2 [DECIDE]:
So these are profiles, you can have 6 different configuration profiles on your device. Here how i understand this to work. You select the Set # from the dropdown, for example Set 1, you now have profile #1 selected, you are about to build the settings for profile 1. Then you go and configure the options you want on the other parts of the form (like the JVS ID, analogue inputs etc, button configs), THEN you have to scroll back up to the top and press the DECIDE button. If you choose another Set from the dropdown without clicking the DECIDE button, you will lose all of the changes you just made on the form. But when you click the DECIDE button, you have now saved the information you want for profile 1. If you select a different profile from the dropdown, and then come back to 1, it should now reload the details you saved on set 1.
You need to understand what's happening here. You aren't writing the config to the device at this point, you are building different profiles within the browser, and they're being saved in an array of sorts IN PREPARATION to be written to the device when you click the SAVE CHANGES button at the top. Also remember, NOTHING you do here, is pulling data from the device, so it's not like you plug your device in and load up what you already have configured, it's like a factory reset/BLANK form every time you connect it, and when you hit SAVE, you are going to overwrite all of your settings on the device with the new blanks if you didn't configure everything.
That's what the export and import to/from a file is for. If you configure stuff the way you want it, export it to a file, because you'll need ti import it when you connect the board next time to retain the settings you had.
SETTINGS BUTTON 3 [COPY FROM ANOTHER SET]:
This allows you to clone a setting you already made. Lets say i go and configure the entire form (button configs etc) and then i save it to set 1. But now i also want to clone the entire settings i just made to set 2/3/4/5/6. I think this work by selecting the set you want to copy it TO from the dropdown at button 2, then you select the set you already configured from the dropdown at button 3, and you hit decide. That copys the information from the set you selected at button 3, to the set you have selected t button 2. If that makes sense....
It's basically a quick way to clone settings you already did to other sets.
SETTINGS BUTTON 4 [COPY FROM A PRESET]:
These are predefined configurations for your convenience, the dropdown shows GAME / CONTROLLER. Example Initial D 4 / G29 (logitech wheel). If you have that hardware, you can select that option for that game, it configures it with known working settings for you. It's a convenience item for you.
SECTION 2 CORE SETTINGS
To be honest, i really don't know what most of this stuff does. If you can help and explain anything, please do.
CORE SETTINGS 1 - JVS ID: SEGA or 3 NAMCO options. Pretty sure this setting exists because some games require the IO to report the vendor for them to work properly. Some systems work with mutiple IO boards, but then some require you to set this to the manufacturer expected.
CORE SETTINGS 2 - # of Analog Input:
CORE SETTINGS 3 - # Bit width of Analog Input:
CORE SETTINGS 4 - # of Rotary Input: I assume that this is just the number of rotary inputs that the IO will report to the game it has. For example, if a game requires 2 rotary inputs to be able to pass the IO check, the number you put here is what it will report to the game. I'm not sure if this has any negative effect if you just always select the maxium?
CORE SETTINGS 5 - # of Screen Position Input:
CORE SETTINGS 6- # Bit Width of Screen Position Input:
CORE SETTINGS 7 - # of Analog Output (Fake):
CORE SETTINGS 8 - # Character Display Size (Fake):
CORE SETTINGS 9 - JVS Dash Support:
CORE SETTINGS 10 - JVS Data Signal Level Adjustment:

Hi all,
Is this "MP07-IONA-US JVS/USB I/O Board" device still available for purchase ?
I'm interested in getting one or two of these.
