ok i will go over the soldering....thanks for the resonse Sean
-
is it normal for IC3 + ic2 to get really hot to the touch when the sid core is powered? Sean
-
ok i figured so but just wanted to make sure...i had to reorder my core module because a couple of the contacts on the board must have melted off or something probably because my soldering iron was too hot..but i had the core working after a bit i just want to test the sid module..oh well have to wait the core Sean
-
yea ive seen that...thought there might be another way of just hooking the sid module up..oh well thanks Sean
-
how do i go about testing the sid module with the c64 psu?
-
thats what i am thinking Sean
-
yea i ordered a 232 not sure what esle is goin on probably wiring or something..lol Sean
-
im having similar issues with my lcd....at first the bottom row of blocks appeared then i found a wire had come disconnected.....then after I fixed it both rows appeared. I uploaded mios and the sid apps and checked it out with midiox and everything appears to be good...but still no text just blocks on the lcd.... Sean
-
Right now I dont have a way to convert to negative voltage..although I have ordered an inverter....I was thinking of just ordering another lcd with it built in but wouldnt something display anyways or am I wrong? I did adjust the contrast so blocks appeared.. I probably should go over the soldering again Sean
-
I purchased a lcd from crystalfontz.com (http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2002a/index.html#CFAH2002AYMCJP) and turns out it uses negative voltage...when i connect it to the core i get 2 rows of blocks...ive uploaded the mios sysex and pinged it to make sure it uploaded and was successful. now since it uses negative voltage should i even get anything to display besided blocks? Thanks Sean
-
ok it must have been a bad solder...got the voltage readings for all the pins..woo hoo....thanks for the replys.. Sean
-
that one connection by c3 is there.. i took a pic of the solder side: http://dsdigitalmedia.com/images/solderside.jpg.. not the best solder job in the world but oh well..lol Sean
-
i forgot also to mention the 7805 was getting really hot...wonder that has anything to do with it.. dont think will really help but here is a pic of my board:
-
yea im going to have to go over everything again..im not sure what to call those connections either oh well...thanks for the replys though
-
i know what your talking about but i dont see anything like that on the board i have...supposed to be j3 or something like that right?
