[mb sid & lcd 2 x 40]

yes, i'm planning to build a type c

and i already have all the parts needed(only 1 sid at the moment)

no problem if i have to buy some extra buttons, but for the din module, there's something that is not clear yet...

shoul i buy an extra module or i can do everything with those 3 modules?

it's about that "shifting 5 din pins"

the din wiring on the pdf was not too clear for me, because from j15 of the core module and the display i have only 1 fat red line

so...i'm just a beginner and from that schematic is a bit tough to understand how to "shift"

plus: even my english is so so

maybe if you can explain in another way i'll be able to do that modification

sorry if i'm a bit retarded  ::)but little by little i know that i can realize this project ;D

thanx again for your help :)

got it!

thanx again

[mb sid & lcd 2 x 40]

i waiting an lcd from voti, but  i bought the 2x40 because was cheaper:

i read somewhere that is too big for this project, so...should i buy a smaller one or i can use it with further modification to the project?

thanx for the attention

[mb sid voltage testing]

well, i'm arrived to that point...

my first sid module is ready for the voltage test, but, exactly, wich points of the circuit should i test to understand if i've done it right?

thanx

[R1/10k resistor, required or not?]

i just started to mound my first sid module and on i have a doubt about the 10 k resistor R1

on the schematics found on the ucapps's site, says that is not required anymore, but i have this part in my kit and on the pcb are the last holes available

so what should i do?

and if is not required anymore, should i make a bridge?

let me know..

[rotary encoders]

hi to all

i have some questions about the type c(with complete surface controll):

i wanna build a type C  but now i have only  one 6581 and the c64 original PSU,  i will add the other 3 sids when i 'll find them...

for now, i saw that at mike's shop( site below )is possible to order the "full kit" to realize the MIDIbox SID 6581 + CS for 64 euros that is not so bad...is that  the cheaper one in europe?

http://www.mikes-elektronikseite.de/shop_englisch/index.htm

and then i need to buy also:

1 x lcd display

1 x rotary encoder

leds (how many?)

buttons (how many?)

1 x ribbon cable (10 or 16 pol?)

female connector for the ribbon cable?

at least 1 bankstick

did i forgot something?

i saw that are needed 14 knobs(or more?) but are they rotary encoders(all of them) or regular potentiometers?

thanx
