I`m no sure what you mean when say flashbacks.
Laser flashback occurs when you're lasercutting a reflective material (like aluminium) - some of the beam reflects back from the cutting service and burns the laser optics.
-
Yeah, I felt a bit guilty when the only C64 I could find was complete with 30 games and 2 joysticks. Lucky, then that I still have my original C64 from when I was about 6 and there ain't nobody gonna make me cut that one up! ;D

there is not one single document that walks you from nothing through to finished MBSID, but if you would like to see such a document you are encouraged to make it for future midiboxers. Until someone takes on this task...
I'd aimed to make something like this on my website, but unfortunately my SID is still in the "buying bits" stage, though I'm told my guide on the optimised PSU is useful. Unfortunately, another more urgent project got in the way :'(

I found a good place to start was with the optimized PSU circuit - if you're worried about your soldering skills it's better to screw up on £1's worth of veroboard than on a proper PCB.
-
TK, you're right - that filter is filthy.
I need a shower.
And a SwinSID.

Type: Yellow STN
Not a PLED, just your standard Super-Twisted Nematic LCD.

I've not used them (gold phoenix) myself, but the guy in my local electronics shop can't recommend them highly enough.

Yeah, when I realised that I put a warning next to the diagram on the page. When I redesign the page I think I'll put a better board layout on there, and put the warning on the layout image.Warning about that image, the bridge rectifier is strange pinout, typically the + and - are diagonally opposite pins. Someone blew up their C64 PSU by not noticing this.

'25' gives 115200
my new line is therefore: 2*0x0b-1
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't 0x0B == 11? Making 2*0x0B-1 = 21?
I'd try it with 0x0D myself...
-
That guys blog for the optimized psu is great too.
Is that mine by any chance? www.danielprice.org.uk/synth-diy?

"OMG! I think i've fried my SID-chip "
With butter, garlic and onions

*bump*
Moogah, any news on when you're going to start shipping these out? No pressure, just it's been a while since you said they'd arrived and I'm itching to get stuck into one ;D
//EDIT: I can't spell.

There's an IC puller in every single computer toolkit.
...Anyone ever needed to remove a chip from a PC? :P
-
That's truly insane.
And awesome. :o
-
Therezin: that bridge rectifier has different pinouts to the ones I've seen, where +/- are diagonally opposite. I recall another MIDIbox builder got caught by that difference and fried a transformer. Can you put a warning note or something on your website???
Good idea, I didn't even think about that. I'll put the warning on tonight when I've finished work.
-
The 4-pin connection that is wired to the sockets (SIL header) will be connected to the bankstick port on the MBHP_CORE module. The sockets are both connected exactly the same way. The bankstick's ID will be set by the wiring inside the bankstick itself, either permanently or with the aid of some DIP switches.
-
I have no idea what he uses them for, the're not in TK's design. Maybe for connecting banksticks externally.
That's correct. They're wired up for external banksticks built into DSUB9 connectors.
-
I don't understand that image AT ALL. Is this circuit built on veroboard?
I made a build-up guide when i built the optimised PSU for my SID - it's at http://www.danielprice.org.uk/synth-diy/sid_2.htm. Looking back, by God does that page need a redesign...

DJ Linux packages?

therezin,
I do not really get the point: you want to control 3D-models from your MIDI keyboard?
Not quite - I was going to make a kind of joystick/encoder assembly that would be MB-based, to control the positioning of 3D stuff more effectively than using a mouse and keyboard. It basically was going to consist of an encoder mounted on a joystick, with some other shortcut buttons around it.
-
Funnily enough I was contemplating doing what you suggest in reverse - I do a lot of 3D design work and was thinking of making something like this based on the MB platform, with Bome's midi translator at the other end turning the notes into keypresses.
-
VERY cool, where'd you get the knobs?
-
I figured that I could basically order one of every kit on the SmashTV website and be good to go... (excluding the LEDs and knobs which I obviously need more of...)
Not quite... visit http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid.html and scroll down to the "hardware options" section. Step C is the full control surface, and that secton lists how many of each module you need. Note that you can build step C without building step B, meaning you can still have the full control surface for controlling only one SID chip.

Looking at the size and shape of the LCD and buttons in the first pic, I'd assume he's swapped the 2x24 for a 2x40..
