Its only 64k (i Think) you need 256k for the bankstick if thats what you are looking for? use it for your USB module ;D when you build it! LO

No I still had probs I guess its just my setup ???

sure I'll try tonight

The flashing LEDs are no problem? excellent! that was easy to fix! Thanks for all the help everyone has given me on this LO

just for the record the 24LC256 works just fine no change in settings just plug in & she went! ::)

OK that did the trick  ;D Word of warning to anyone etching a USB module at home the current version of the .brd file has a small error: missing a trace on the eeprom socket Still couldnt get the ezUSB driver to install under XP ver 1 or ver 1.1 same error : An error occurred during the installation of the device A service installation in this INF is invalid Win 98 is fine All works well now except ........ when I conect a midi keyboard the related midi led flashes continiously even when im not pressing any keys! (it flashes faster when I do press a key) ive checked in midiOX and there is no random data being sent. The midi indicator in cubase only lights when I press a key so thats OK Can anyone point me in the correct direction to trouble shoot this small problem? Cheers LO

OK I have tested all IC socket voltages and they are all OK except for the one which holds the eeprom Pins 2,3 & 7 are supposed to be earth according to the .pdf but on the .brd file I cant seem to find a trace that connects these pins to earth. Dan; you had a similar prob I think? is it safe for me to connect pin 3 with 4 to complete the earth circuit or is it ment to be connected in a different way? I did a home etch and it matches 1:1 for the .brd file! ??? ??? ??? LO

thanks for the tips however I am still havin probs I cant seem to get: version 1.0 the link still seems to point to ver 1.1 it would be nice to be able to try this stuff on me own PC So I tried it on another PC Win 98 yay it lets me install the ezUSB driver. but once it is installed I still can not seem to burn the Chip Since I am using an 24LC256 instead of the 24LC64 is there anything I need to change in the settings of the control panel? I also notice that the power led does not have enough grunt to light the led i.e. I can measure only 1v but I have checked all the ICs and they measure the correct voltage ie 5v or 3.25-3.3v and earths seem OK. getting desperate........ Thanks LO

Hi USB module finished Plug it in and yes it is found however when I go through the new hardware wizard it starts installing but stops and reports the following error: An error occurred during the installation of the device A service installation in this INF is invalid :( Im guessing this is a similar error to that which other are reporting? I have tried installing many times and every time the same error. Im using Windows XP service pack 1 Ill try with win98 sometime soon? Any ideas? peace LO

Sure does ;D Thanks for your help Peace

Hi on the USB module it requires a 1N4002 The closest I can find is a 1N4004 is this a suitable replacement? :-/ Cheers LO

Hey does anyone know if its OK if I swap the 24LC64 for a 24LC256 in the MB_USB board I cant seem to find a 24LC64 but I have a 24LC256 laying round They should have the same addressing no??? LO

Like it! 8)

Thank-you Your very helpful lately, Mr Hurlock :P

Yeah Pilo; Im sure I have seen somewhere a circuit from a disposable camera used to do this job I think it was in a magizine; they were talking about going to photo-labs to get the old camera cases, pull the circuit board out make one small mod and you had an inverter ??? Cant remember which publication tho!

Avery (I think its called) is the brand I used Should be plenty of other brands around though LO

wow!! thats cool great idea good chance to reuse the old C64 video monitor LO

Thanks for this tip however it is only to Stereo & not 5.1 There is a mention of modifing it to work with DTS but thats probably a bit beyond me :'( Thanks again LO

yeah sorry :-[ I mean 5.1 (RCA type connectors) analog input on the amp LO

wow :D Thanks for all the work so far! im quite excited! off topic but can any one point me in the direction to build a cheap? optical to 5.1 (comp) dont know if this is even possible? My DVD has optical out but my amp has only 5.1 input! ???

mmm sounds good I will check I have a feeling that the SBlive ext box didnt conect directly to the audigy that it needed an audigy ext box? would this be a problem?

Hi Guys so this is for the SBlive right? what about my audigy v1 card, will this suit these mods? or is it a whole different kettle of fish? Peace LO

Welcome to the quirky habits of the SID! Its quite normal I think!

Traktor is very easy to set up for Midi control You build the surface any way you want it, then traktor will learn the midi I agree you dont need to worry about encoders for a DJ setup. Traktor has soft takeover function anyway I have just used pots and im very happy with it. No midi out? are you sure? LCD useful for trouble shooting etc but not for general use in this application
