Blue? Seriously? Come on! Vote or you might end up with blue pcbs.

the 1uF cap doesn't have to be ceramic. Any film cap will do as well. I accidentally soldered a 100nF cap into one of mine *cough* and it also works without any problems.

The kaffeSEQ has an animated logo as well. Fun stuff :) 8 characters can be a lot if used wisely.

*yawn* We have a search function - it's awesome. Use it.

I moved your topic to a more suitable location, as this is obviously not a MIDIbox User Project.

Welcome aboard spozer! :flowers: You'll want to start by reading this, this and this.

Nah, I'll just move it accordingly :)

The MIDIbox SID V2 editor is all you need. MIDI Yoke may be helpful if your midi interface is not multi-client capable.

Nice work Alkex! Is there going to be doco soonish? Otherwise, this isn't really a User Project ()

In case you care to take a look how I am doing it I attached a stripped down version of some of my sysex modules :) sysex_stuff.zip

"Missing" -12V may or may not be a problem depending on what you plan to use the PSU for. For mbSID, LC, SEQ, ... not a problem. mbFM or anything using seppos SSMs - problem :) If you connect it wrong, you can certainly break stuff. If you don't it's fairly unlikely. Make sure to meet the PSUs minimum current consumption otherwise it might give you wrong voltages.

It's a switch mode supply and most likely pretty noisy, so it may not be very usable for an mbSID. At that price you can always get one and try it though :)

That depends on how good your C skills are.

Welcome aboard Quazar! :flowers:

Making banksticks swappable is kinda... overrated in my opinion. How likely are you to remove the bankstick? And what are you going to with it once it's removed? ;)

Any particular reason why you created this thread three times? I deleted 2 of the copies.

Labelwhore, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into :) Maybe I should finally finish my editor and compile it to VST as well... One of these days... Btw, sammichSID is a regular mbSID v2 and has all the parameters a regular mbSID v2 has...

Yes, it is possible to use this display, you'll have to write yourself a driver for it though (from a quick look at the datasheet that won't involve any voodoo). Vdd and Vcc are just different naming conventions for the same thing - Voltages. In the case of a core8 Vcc is 5V which is what the display needs, so you're all set on that front.

That's less of a concern than a knockout-criteria :yes:

And you just learned a valueable (and free) lesson: People make mistakes, double check! :)

Selbslösende Probleme, whee :)

Some instruction take 2 cycles (jumps for instance) be sure to consider that ;) What exactly are you doing? The SRIO is usually updated at 1ms intervals, so I don't quite get what you're trying to do here :)

The PIC runs 10,000,000 instructions per second, that's 10,000 instructions per ms or 10 instructions per µs. If you want to wait for 1us you'll have to do nothing for 10 instructions. This can be easily done by simply doing NOP ten times. bsf PORTA, 7 ; set pin high nop ; start waiting nop ; 2 nop ; 3 nop ; 4 nop ; 5 nop ; 6 nop ; 7 nop ; 8 nop ; 9 nop ; 10 bcf PORTA, 7 ; set pin low [/code] The code above will set Port A 7 high for exactly 1us. If you wrap that into a macro it'll look much nicer ;)

I deleted the identical thread you started in the "Design Concepts" forum. Crosspost bad, mmkay.

Thin good, rosin core good, lead free bad. I use 0.5mm diameter Stannnol S-Sn60Pb39Cu1. I've never used flux. I don't necessarily recommend doing that, just saying you can go without.
