Yeah they look very professional!

Nice! Heres how mine looks: Ignore the Bad Solder Points. They are clean now! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ycxiyhlkzs8v0f9/IMG_20140708_204548.jpg

Sounds like a good Deal! Heres mine. 4X20 http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00CD2DKQO/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I only use 2 of the 4 Character rows, i think i could change that, but i dont need all 4.

Ok I will leave it at 4 Bit. The Resoldering (might) have done the trick! Its working since 40 minutes without any sight of flickering (it was more like some pixels were on low voltage). As far as I can tell does everything work! (Demos ,Keys,Sidplay, Menu ...) I havent fully build the Control-Panel....so I had to short the Buttons with a wire.... :rolleyes: . Thanks for your help!

Ok, i will check everything. I also need a new LCD for another project, so i will buy a new one. Its currently connected in 4 Bit Mode, shouldnt 8 bit work too?

Ok i Resoldered all Points (i did the old with very bad Soldering Tin) Its strange because it just happens (nothing gets hot) and after 10 minutes its working again.

It did it again.(after 20 Minutes) From one second to another. Strange

Thanks for the answer!. I powered it up again and there is no more flickering. It was like "the display is burning out and needs more power". But it sems to be gone now! PS : NICE it even Displays SIDPlayer Mode and Song Name! (Sadly only sidplayer1 has working MidiOut but plays WAY to fast. ) Im gonna write an update when it fails again.

I did it!!! It works now. I dont know why but it suddenly started working. It says " E002 PInt Ld Chn. 1 1*** Lead patch" Thanks TK! EDIT: After 10 Minutes it starts to flicker...if i turn the Poti even higer it starts to look good again ..is this bad? (fried ?)

I checked the wiring. Its all correct (D0-3 removed) Now i get 5V! When i activate ..lets say D4 it stays on until i press the next key? thats what i get. Does this mean my new LCD is broken ? Or is there anything else i might have missed?

Yes. But the way i wired it is correct? I did it 1:1 like in the PDF

Yes i did. Nothing happend.

Hello, (and i warn you about my bad english :smile: ) I just got got a new LCD for my MB6582. The Display is a HD44780 (QC2004A). But sadly it doesent work, its just blank but the backlight is working. The PICs are from SmasTV , so MIOS is already installed. I also get the test-tone at start and i can play SID Files, so it should be working. The wiring confused my a bit because the PDF and the board has different numbers at J15: PDF 1 2 3 4 ..... Board 1 9 2 10 ... But is sems to be correctly wired! (I already tried the Poti ) I heard i shouldnt connect D0-D3 ? What did i wrong? A Forum and Google Search brought up many people with the same problem,but it didnt help me.

Habe kein passendes Thema gefunden also: Ich habe gerade mein MB 6582 fertig gestellt.(heißt die Grundplatte ohne Front Panel) Ich habe jedoch nicht viel ahnung von MIDI allgemein (fragt nicht warum ich es dann gebaut habe :rolleyes: ), und habe probleme eine verbindung zum PC herzustellen. Habe jetzt so ein 5€ MIDI zu USB adapter gekauft und ich bekomme immer in MIOS : "No response from MIOS8 or MIOS32 core! Check MIDI IN/OUT connections and Device ID! For debugging see also Help->MIDI Troubleshooting" Kann auch am Billig adapter liegen. Die platine sollte gehen. Die Teile sind von SmashTV-also alles ist ge-uploaded und aktuell (MIOS 1.9G) Jetzt meine Frage: Kann jemand Helfen bzw Sagen was ich jetzt machen /prüfen könnte? (Fürchte das ist der billig Adapter aber ich hab gerade kein Geld für einen vernünftigen) :sad:

Danke! Ich wusste nicht dass damit der ganze Setup gemeint ist. Vielen Dank!!! -Steffen
