Try a wiki search for ks0066 ;) ...or the recommended controller, hd44780 ... either search will get you to a comptibility list, that says that the ks is all good. Just watch out for negative contrast voltages and higher voltage backlights.

Definitely, that was my favourite part!

No, off-site documentation sucks. </broken record> The site's down :'(

Cleaned up the tags - " sid" != "sid" (note the leading space... TK got the rest :)

If you're unsure, use a smashtv encoder. Buttons are to your taste, switches should be momentary ON type (see FAQ on wiki) vectorboards as big as you need them, and yes, you should use whatever value is specified in the schematic/BOM.

Yargh, the black sea be a bountiful sea indeed me hearty! By the way... you guys did notice that the chat is already back, right?

Those knobs are AWESOME dude, way to DIY!!! Edit: it was WELL worth the 6 months.

FWIW, i like the first knobs best, from the original pic... they give the box a nice minimal aesthetic. My fave by a long margin.

Oh that's really pretty, nice one! Edit about the LEDs... Only thing I could think to do is something like this: Store the value of each pot in a variable on change Set the value of a counter for each pot as 255-<8bit pot value> (so the higher the pot value, the smaller the counter) Each time the CS update runs, decrement the counter Toggle the LED status when counter gets to 0, and then reload the counter That way, the LED should strobe with a higher speed when having a higher value, lower with a lower value Dunno if that'll work.... SID gurus?

LOL!

NO IRC Edit: To our French members: No I don't mean Black C ;D

NO IRC

OMG how many times must we say "no IRC"

That's awesomeness. No, you're not old fashioned; alas, most girls are.... More geek chicks is good! Tell your girl we all think she rocks!

I'd go with "Don't try this at home, kids!" ;D http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/troubleshooting#golden_rules_of_troubleshooting ;) Wilba, we can have a core-off... Side by side, soldering race.... we just need a cute girl to stand between us and wave a flag to start the race :D

Interesting... Would you guys be able to try this: Find a way to replicate the fault Reload the latest MIOS and MBSEQ firmwares (MIOS Studio/Smart Mode/Wait for upload request) See if you can still replicate Intermittent faults are teh suck. Good luck guys.

Rome wasn't built in a day (but it fell in one) (spot that lyric and win a lollipop)

Actually most firewalls block everything, and mine's one of those. .... Maybe we're used to a different kinda network. A good firewall should block data from escaping your LAN as well as entering it, it's important in case the physical security is breached - bad stuff sometimes comes from inside the building. In fact, a really secure setup will block all traffic even internally, for example to stop a worm from spreading, or to stop users from wasting backplane bandwidth with unwanted traffic. Right you are, I'm using SSH... I tried read-only access just now, and it failed in the same manner. Looks like unsecure SVN is down!

Well I was going to recommend against it.... at least... for newbies... See GROT #1

I don't think that would bypass the problems TK mentioned.

It does need a hole in port 3690 for SVN. No, no NATing required. In which case you need to punch port 22.

Hahahah...well, we always say to people around here: you can always start small, and make it grow later... This is a great example!

Hehehehe, when I saw the topic, I thought it was a whole core soldered in 4 minutes real-time... I thought "wow, OK that's really fast!" nice video :)

Works fine here, even through work's firewall.... I suspect you're blocking the port on your firewall(s). IIRC it's port 3690, TCP and UDP.

Hope not, that's another one of my seq's features ;)
