Was going to put this in the midibox sid forum but I suppose here's more appropriate. A few months back when I was gathering up parts for my mb6582 build, I ended up with an extra 8580 chip and decided to build a shield for my Arduino for playing sid tunes. Anyway, I had 10 PCBs manufactured and only used one myself. I gave some away on a local forum but I still have five left. If any members would be interested in making one let me know and I'll send you one, you can just pay the few euro for shipping. Here's the link to the project, made by a guy called atbrask. I made a little graphical interface for playing tunes rather than having to use the command line, you can find the link in my original post here Here's a video of me playing the monty on the run theme through mine. Also, if this is against forum rules or anything, feel free to delete.

Well here's the messy insides to start. The panel I got had the hole for the expansion port so I Just attached a connector so it didn't look so bad. Just need to get some nice knobs for my encoders and it's finished. LEDs I got are a bit bright :)

Just to give an update. It turns out the midi interface doesn't work at all. Tried it under Windows 10, XP and Ubuntu. I got a midisport 2X2 from Smithy and it worked perfect. I'm practically finished the build, just need to get some knobs for the encoders. Just had a mess around with the included patches, need to have a read through the manual and start making some of my own. Cheers for the help.

It seems the core reboots every time the upload times out too

Cheers, any recommendations for a cheap interface. Forked out €50 for that interface just to use mios.

I've tested the optocoupler using this and it looks good. I've also pulled out the three slave pics and all the shift registers and now pin 20 on the master is floating at about 1.3V. I don't want to go desoldering or reflowing anything yet. I spent hours doing it last week trying to figure out why my LCD wasn't displaying anything and then as soon as I switched in a new LCD it was fine.

Hi guys, I'm just throwing the last few bits of my mb6582 together but I'm having trouble loading anything over midi. I got my four Pics from smash tv so they had the bootstrap loader and mios on them. Mios studio sees the core and says application is running but when I try to upload any hex files, it times out. I did the usual loopback tests and everything. The only thing I've noticed is that pin 20 on the 3 slave cores is sitting at 5V but on the Master it's at ground. So basically there's a 5V drop across R9 on core 1 but not on all other 3 cores. I'm using an E-MU 2X2 which I know others have had issues with. I've tried it in Windows 10, 7 and XP with no joy. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
