Maybe you should remove that info and put a link in... Otherwise someone can update one and not the other and... bad...

I used a SmashTV JDM with PICPGM and it worked perfectly on 452, 4620, and 4685... Writing the how-to document is on my shortlist, I'll update here when it's done.

ahhhh sweet. Well handled alti.

Oh, if it's self-oscillating well... personally I like my synths to get a bit crunchy if I boost the res enough... I can always turn it down ;) I'm yet to try it on the MBSID but I have patches where the keyscale modulates the filter cutoff and they play the tune with the filter's self oscillation while the oscillators themselves are controlled by other input... Two of them had the resonance distorting a little, one of those had further processing following that, making use of the high frequencies that the distortion introduced. Point is, you might be able to use a little distortion on the resonance if you're creative/weird ;)

lol :D

Hey I just give answers, nobody said they would be correct :)

Yeh, and personally I'm here to avoid running a soft sequencer... VST aren't really my cuppa. (Although they are clearly useful for some of course!)

I suspect you're right.... It's a big order but I don't think it'll help with bulk discunts at all :( I need something like 8@ 2x40, 6@ 2x20, and 3@ 4x20, preferably in white (but I'd consider red if it had a big effect on this group's price). Any word yet Kart?

Holy cow TK nice one!!

Off topic, this is what's cool about DIY. You've gone to this trouble to make this cool addon, which makes power switching easier, while I went and bought switch guards to do the opposite. Love it ;D Damn my infernal brain... I just got to thinking how cool it would be to have this circuit with a timer so you have to hold the switch in for a few seconds... I don't want to hijack, but I'm curious if anyone would know how to do this? Should I start a new thread guys?

I was just about to post saying "I'll do that shortly", but then I thought... Hangon... If we put a sticky for every wiki page that should be read, I think maybe we'd have a few too many ;) Maybe better to encourage people to search the wiki. That said, could it be good if people came up with ideas for search keywords, to put at the bottom of pages or something? Pointing people at the wiki may be good in theory, but if they can't find what they want, then the system has failed. I'd be really interested to hear what the forum thinks about this, whether it's the gurus with lots of experience or newer guys who have a fresh perspective on the mass of reading to be done around here. All I can remember now, is that I procrastinated for about 4 months before I started reading it, it was such a daunting task!

I know the JDM needs a small mod (add a resistor) to program the 18f PICs, but I'm unsure if that applies to the burner, I think not. I'd check, but ucapps.de is unreachable from here at the moment. It seems like you're doing everything right. Good luck dude!

Think of the wiki as a sticky and put the results of this thread onto that page. The thread can be used for discussion if needed, for EG: ;)

That's a list of parts to make one DINx4 module, you need them all, and a PCB. Keep reading bro :)

Ahh, not so sure about that one.... VEE = Ground, VO is the bias voltage isn't it? Anyway, all the others are definitely correct, so I guess this is the only way it would go... You said doesn't work but you didn't say how... do you get backlighting at least? Any characters or anything else on screen? Is this a known-good core with other LCDs? LOl I am such a turkey... I forgot, I have an optrex 2x40 right here. *headslap*. I did mine like the instruction PDF and it works fine. That said, I quickly changed it to be like one Wilba soldered, which had a resistor for backlight power (he's explained this elsewhere before)

LOL I can see Sting's cover: "I hope Kartoshka gets my... I hope Kartoshka gets my... SID chip in a bottle.... SID chip in a bottle, yeh" He can deliver the CD by messenger-pigeon too! Who needs labels? ;D

Heh I knew you'd have the answer on this AC, I was thinking as I typed "I'm totally rushing this and I'm sure AC will come along in 5 minutes with the right answer anyway, maybe I should hit CTRL+F4" ;) Definitely not. My post was more intended to demonstrate the concept, I wasn't sure if squeal is familiar with bitshifting and it's advantages? Anyway it could be: pin_value = ((pin_value-64) <<1 ) The compiler will optimise *2 to <<1 anyway, but it's better to specify it. Problem is, because we are scaling up from 63 to 127,we are generating 7bit from 6bit, so there's a loss of resolution. pin_value = ((pin_value-512) >>2) Much better that way!

I thought maybe I should mind my own business, but it would be a shame for the sale to fall through, or for Sasha to feel pressured in anyway, and I thought maybe this may help... I dunno about where you guys are, but here, WU is expensive, and so are international bank transfers ... it'd be 35-45 USD or so, in addition to whatever you send. :o May I make a suggestion.... All you guys paypal it to one person, who then Western Union Transfers to Sasha. Bulk-buy Western Union's service ;) Meanwhile please show understanding for each other's situations, have fun, and get cheap gear :)

Excellent :)

OT: You're talking about NetSynth and that ain't new ;)

lol

what about something like if (pin_value >= 64) then { pin_value = (((pin_value-64) /63) * 127) } or uhmmm if (pin_value >= 64) then { pin_value = (((pin_value-64) *2 ) } Or something You can optimise this a LOT if needed. I haven't applied much thought to this so uhm... it probably doesn't make sense ;)

'fraid you'll have to look that up... I just buy new PCBs from smash ;) I do know that some older boards needed mods to run a certain version of MIOS. OK so it's a DIY serial port interface. I could do sysex dumps with my interface and it wouldn't do uploads either. Budget MIDI interfaces get budget results, unfortunately. I was using a joystick-midi cable thing, and i changed soundcards and it worked OK... I expect your cable is fine, have you tried from another PC (another serial port)? Good luck man. That's kinda what I meant, I'm also wondering about what burner hardware you used (JDM/MB-Burner, etc)... What ID did you program the PIC with? I hope we can work this one out :)

You guys should search for the thread where we discussed military panels and cockpit simulator panels.... This is how the cockpit guys make backlit panels.

Would it help the numbers if I were to order a few different sizes in a different colour?
