Thanks again Thorsten.. had to put some more work into it.. because the OLED is not nearly as high as the LCD.. so i had to remount it on the top and solder longer pins to it. Now finally it looks like the Shruthi XT and fits inside my Studio :sweat: Thanks for making it possible :w00t: Best Regards Patrick

I connected them exactly like you wrote before.. also measure continuity again at those points, here is the pic.. Maybe i overlooked something. Thanks EDIT: Its working now.. i just randomly tried to Switch the Wire RE1 <-> RE2. Did i read the Shematics wrong ? you wrote: - PIC Pin RE1 to J16:D3 - PIC Pin RE2 to J16:D2 - PIC Pin RB1 to J16:D1 - PIC Pin RB0 to J16:D0 /moderator edit: this is the wrong pinning, documentation has been corrected in TK's posting above Well nevermind.. its working so i am supper happy !! :D

Hello I did the Mod and flashed the firmware. The normal LCD is not outputting the correct data anymore. The OLED is at least showing the first R of what i guess should be (RANDOM PATCH) and some chars at the end. Maybe you got a hint ? Thanks again EDIT: this is the OLED i got http://de.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Newhaven-Display/NHD-0220DZW-AG5/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMshRHSPqbouvFu0giaJJ%252b33TsxIS1Y%252b3Po%3d

Thanks Thorsten... will try this version tomorrow after connecting the wires. So basically flashing this firmware should enable the OLED Driver, if i want to use a normal LCD i would flash the standard version again? Will keep you updated on the progress. This could save my day. Greets Patrick

I dont know yet how to compile the firmware, havent used any programming languages for ages. Ok will do the wiring tomorrow morning, thanks for your effort, would be really nice to get it working. Thanks and best regards Patrick

Hey Thorsten ! Thanks for your reply. So i just put 4 wires directly from the PIC to the Digital Pins on J16 to the LCD ? Do i need to cut any traces or just make the new connections in addition ? If i make a firmware update will i have to remodify the firmware? If so could you point me at the part that i need to modify ? Thanks again!!!

Dont know.. hmm lets say 35€ shipped to norway? (shipping is 14,50 euro) The Newhaven alone cost me that, and i got no use for them at the moment. Greets

ok nevermind i found an old midi interface which i will use :)

According to the Datasheet the Pins etc. should be the same. I dont know for the 4/8 bit thing, it isnt displaying anything. Hope someone got a clue..

Hey guys i ordered a Newhaven OLED 2x20 Display, it seems it doesnt work on my sammichFM.. it just stays black. What am i missing ? Thanks Patrick

Hello I was reading the manual but couldnt find anything regarding a Midi Thru option (so that the sammichFM forwards the Midi Input to the Out). I saw there is a midi merger option, which it seems, i am not able to select with my 2x20 char display in CFG Mode (i can not scroll in the CFG Page). Any ideas? Thanks Patrick

Hey I have a brand new sammichSID. It has rarely been used, and i have to save money for a project, thats why i need to sell it :no: It has the new lexan covers, a negative green LCD, Alps Knob, 2x 8580 SIDs with passive cooling and includes the AC Adapter. As seen on other sales i would ask for 400 EURO. Shipping would be possible worldwide, but preferred inside Europe. I am from Austria. Please give this wonderful device a new warm home :smile: EDIT: it has been sold to a nice guy from the forum, hope it is ok as it was a non profit sale. Thanks
