You can pretty much use any open pin on the PIC for that. There's a neat demo-app that uses J5 and lets you write to it as if it were a DOUT shift register. Careful though, relays typically pull more current than a pic pin can safely supply - using a transistor per relays is definitely a must.

[x] Neither :-)

Welcome aboard, Kvetch! :flowers: Yep, that is most definitely a fairly basic project and definitely doable :-)

Nice work! :frantics:

No. Go away.

Happy B-Day Wilbuuur!

So you don't feel all alone, I did the same thing in A minor :) Quick, dirty, horrible timing but it haz drums and a short "more than meets the eye"-hommage ;) aminor.mp3

I'd go with a full-on software reset. Upload MIOS again and then the mbFM firmware. Also you apparently forgot to properly threaten it.

Ich würde ja helfen (abgesehen davon, dass Dir bereits alle relevanten Informationen gegeben wurden), aber Deine Einstellung ist ein wenig... naja, nicht motivierend.

</holy-war> Thanks.

Thew question is a bit like asking what to do to make your car faster... What exactly are you trying to achieve? What exactly is the part that's causing you enough audible pain to want to change parts?

I am well aware of that ;) It's pretty much the simplest and most insta-reward approach though, which is why I mentioned it.

If the SID works on 8.5v, I'd prefer not to bypass the rectifier. That way if you ever connect an AC PSU or one with the polarity switched your entire sammich won't blow up.

It's actually even easier when using a microcontroller. You can use a simple phase accumulator and directly output the square wave (or PWM square) at the correct frequency w/o having to worry about external dividers etc. Rough pseudo-code sketch (replace sampling rate of 44100 Hz at will, same goes for the precision (16bit in the example)): 16_bit_unsigned_integer: phase integer: frequency = 65536/44100*frequencyInHz functionThatGetsCalled44100timesPerSecond { phase = phase + frequency if phase > 32767 then output_pin = 0 else output_pin = 1 } [/code]

Tapeworms or a bad metabolism work very well!

That's right, Doug ain't 80. He's 180. :whistle: Happy B-Day, old man!

The prototype is, as a matter of fact, populated with boards from Smash.

Correct, the OPL chip and two opamps need some SMD soldering - nothing tiny or hard that requires any voodoo though :)

While I do think that TBS' behaviour is completely unprofessional, unethical and just plain wrong - especially after having been talking to them on the phone for hours and having gotten his word that they will not release/sell/etc. anything without prior consent by TK and Wilba - please do not spam their pages, DDOS attack their servers, ask your local biker friends to drop by or do any other stupid stuff of that sort. Feel free to vent your anger about their behaviour whenever you talk/write about TBS/MM though, preferably on public forums.

Awwww, sammichSID's brother! :hug:

Nice work :thumbsup: No, the registers did not change. As for an 8580 datasheet you can also use a 6582 datasheet which is identical.

Datasheet is wrong, what you see is the "correct" behaviour.

The sid engines are pretty complex and writing a full editor is quite a task. The main problem is time, not knowledge...

You can adjust the frequency table (that should make for a great search term).
