i've found out that the connection betwen the core and the sid was wrong... now its ok, but still no data showned in lcd... do i have to change anything else in the .inc files to make it work? i'm i doing the correct sequence of upload? Mios - set up lcd.inc from sid to 16x2 - 6581_with_cs.inc - turn off sistem, connect midi keyboard turn on, no data on display :( any hint would be nice :D

Finally i'm at home... i've setup right the LCD connection (it was reversed) so it stays on...but keeps showing no data... i've tried sending the string of sysex and it comes out right the response... i've changed the PIC and uploaded MIOS, then tested the string it comes ok, then i've changed the LCD inc file for sid to put it on a 16x2 LCD, uploaded the main.inc and the 6581_with_cs as i have 6 buttons 1 encoder and 1 lcd... after that come out sucefully (i think) i disconnected the midi's from the pc and turn off the sid system... turn on and nothing :( just the backlight on... i'm getting suspicious on the conection betwen the sid and the core. need to chek that out. probably is the same thing that happend with the lcd module :| as soon i got news i'll let you all know :) once again, thank you all for the great help :D the hot regulator... i think its because of the backlight of the lcd... since its a large character LCD (twice big as standard).

i'm going to try that tomorow...i'm at work right now... the regulator is getting very hot... i use a heatsink with about 20cm... and it gets hot!!!

Hi thanks for the reply... as i can tell the lcd is well connected... it as a backlight (led backlight) that blinks... but it shows no data... i'll see if i can find that sysex string... i need to get back to that sid+core... no much time as i'm away from home theses days. thank you! :)

Olá Pessoal! Ja soldei as peças e já testei, embora sem sucesso... tenho de ver o que se passa com aquilo para vos poder dar algum help caso precisem... já agora estou a ver se faço um SID SYNTH... estou a usar um CORE um SID A e um DINX1 (uma versão reduzida do DINX4). a ver se ponho aki umas fotos depois

Hi everyone! i've just gathered all parts, pcb's and soldered them all... JDM programmer - burn sucefully (thats what it says) Bootloader programmed Core parts soldered in PCB measures OK but 7805 gets very hot...needing heatsink, i used a 15-0-15 transformer but using only one live 15-0v 1Amp SID parts amd PCB all sodered DINX1 created in protoboard buttons and rotary encoder connected i've uploaded the MIOS and the SID program throu MIDI-OX and it seems to be done sucefully (no errors shown) but the LCD only blink as i turn on the power. no data in display... i'm using a 16x2 LCD files uploaded to PIC18F452: - Bootloader - JDM progm - MIOS 1.7 - MIDIOX - MIDIBOX SID 1.6 Help please? i cant get it work :(
