:D Help! Oh yeah! I thank you for taking the time! I hope i can get it going,my real worry is getting the mios uploaded. Still hunting down a 14v...wish me luck Kickn my ass I didn't get the last one..

I had tried many 12v dc & ac's (checked volt on transformer and always over 12v)used 5 different ones, Got the same not matter Ac or Dc. Seen a 14v dc at pond shop,Now gone,So I'll have to keep my eyes open. Hope I can find one Monday.

i built another sid kit (to be sure) I get even less,8.5v..I'm off ot get another psu..

Thanks! I'm checking the right ones still only getting the 9v? I'll get another today a 14v dc 700ma to try again? Maybe I have 8580 parts in (I don't think so) Well back at it.. Again thank you for taking the time to help me alone It is very much helping me figure this out,

I get higher than 12v off all the psu's (transformers) when looking at midibox letteres right side up top left pin and bottom right always give me 9.05 volts? right pins? can't find the link (net limited . .) thanks for all your help, know to test dc on pc (good to know)

Having some Problems with my sid module,Can't get the right voltages (or not sure if I'm checking the right pins?(could not find link?) Thanks for your help! Thai

Got it! but not sure if I got right power,I picked up a 12vac 0.33 amp (wallwart,psu) Reading floating at high 11v - 12v (if I'm testing right pins?) Don't want to add pic's till I'm sure on power, Thanks Mr modnaR

1 other ? does the amount of ma effect sound? like a larger ma cause a small hum? Or does part on pc restrict to only ma used? (sorrry noobish) thanks for everything no luck yet with psu,,but delayed alittle with other projects hope to score one soon,Can't wait to here some sounds..sequence in my beats. :o

and get the r4 version..seen some on ebay recently..

Go with the 6581 it's the original..grimmyer! ::)

I also plan to put mine in case,,Just the whole unit (the whole wall adaptore) I have installed a different plug.. Thanks for your help..i see Ac DC diference. So look for 12 ac or 14dc? does the ma matter much what range should I stay between Again thanks,I have been having troubles,eg.when got kit br1 on core broke(misplaced...duhh) I am not really a noobie I've been circuit benting modding building kits for years (hobbie) Searching out psu . . . . . . . . this may take a few moments . . .

I noticed in thread SID*1 + Step A + filter (9 Sept. New feature !) New he uses 12v 170ma,Did He do what you said?with the 7812? Hope it works,Won't be able to score for a day or so eager!

Thanks I'll score a 14vdc see if that does the trick 8) wish me luck

I am building a basic sid,6581 control A,using a 9v 500ma Dc for core (seems to work) And 12v 150ma Dc for sid..I'm not exactly sure where to check pins C1:Vcc(25) - IC1:Vss(14) = 5V IC2:Vdd(16) - IC2:Vss(8) = 5V IC3:Vdd(16) - IC3:Vss(8) = 5V For core,the 5v works and lcd lights up But for sid I get wierd readings on ic's but might be checking wrong places. I went over parts(not many) and everything looks fine. Could not find a link..Having trouble getting this going. Any help would be steller! Thanks

Could you suggest a psu that would be good..12v 200ma ac/dc? I'm looking at using 2 power supplys one for core one for sid instide unit Again thanks!

Thanks for the info and help I'll check into that! Broke my br1 for my core :'( It was placed wrong (thus the problem with one of my psu's) Oh I can't wait to get this thing running...

Thanks! :D Trying to get power going,core 9v 500ma (good?) sid 12v dc 150ma? good? will these do the trick?

Can I use a 12v 150ma dc psu for sid module? having trouble with power..Getting weird readings?

I can't find schematic...Is it on core page? sorry there are alot of links,I must be overlooking it? I figured they were the pins..But unsure where because of how decribed.. Thanks for your help Thanks

Case in early stage My Kits arrived from Smash TV (STELLER packed sooo well antistatic sealed..Boards look amazing! I was so stoked to see them and how much care thought was put into them....Can't say enough I'll be back,as I plan to upgradeThey are now all built up...all parts on..? on the crystal and diaode? if they in the right way? Case Back Hope to have more up soon..More of the raw build up Now I'm Stuck...):

Apply power to the module after all parts except the PIC and the optocoupler are mounted. Check the voltage levels between the most important pins with a multimeter (analog or digital doesn't matter) before plugging the PIC and the 6N138 into the socket: IC1:MCLR(1) - IC1:Vss(12) = 5V IC1:Vdd(11) - IC1:Vss(12) = 5V IC1:Vdd(32) - IC1:Vss(31) = 5V IC2(8) - IC2:(5) = 5V I don't understand where mclr(1) is? where so I test?

I just got and build my first boards,Din,Core,sid, and plan to build contol a set up with 20 x 2 lcd I got all the parts including lcd from smash (awsome) I do not have the original commodore psu I do have lots of different wall adaptors,Which I plant to put in case. ? Do I need 2 seperate power supplys? cautious to go any futher... I was told I only needed one 12v power supply? limited to net use,Have done alot of reading maybe I'm missing something.. If someone could tell me what to get I sure I have or can find it or them.. I would like only one psu that I could put in case as I've mounted a computer type power cord to 12 700ma psu (inside) and then to power button to two pin...? I'm looking for a link for the wire up of 20 x 2 lcd.... Thanks for your time and help

I think I got what you need.... breadboxes? let me know a little more

I have a newer style 64c gutted...case and ports..led Will trade

The chips are $15 us each and $6 - $10 us to ship em. Many different chips pulled from working commodore 64's All 6 5 8 1 no 8580's only 6 5 8 1 's I usally sell them on ebay for $25 plus... Get a -$10 us deal just being on this site! I have 20 plus chips on hand...
