I recently bought a midibox sammich which I like, but programming is tedious. So looking to buy a wilba model, or something with more knobs to making programming much easier

i dont have the time to complete any of my sid projects so i am selling everything! this includes. completed kits 5 DINs 3 DOUTS 3 SIDS 2 CORES 1 AIN SID CHIPS 3 SID6582 bought from wilba never used 3 SID6581 LCDs 2 40x2 1 4x20 blue on black knobs 30 white/black waldorf knobs 13 accuess virus c knobs over 10 novation bass station knobs 1 industrial metal (w/ removable fuses) c64 power supply 1 c64 original power supply also about 30 encoders, about 15 pots, alot of 16pin ribbon, a few 100 50white .3m, 100 red.3mm, 4 5pin(midi) connects, leds, and alot more switchs, buttons, button covers and other little things. basically all you need to build a midibox sid and a midibox sequencer with spare kits and parts for your midi box projects. how much for all this??? i forget how much i paid for all this, and how many hours i already spent putting all the kits together. but you can get all this for 200$ plus shipping i would perfer to do it by paypal let me know if your intrested. thanks

sorry i dont know electronics, i am trying to learn through this, looking at that pic the grounding for each set of 8pins connects to to 1 ic, creating 4 ics, so logically i thought it must connect to the ground of the IC that the pin is connecting to. but your saying i dont have to use 4 different grounds, only 1 from say the 1st IC and connect all 32 leds for that 1 kit correct? and i have spent over an hour looking for this info, due to the last thing i need to do before my midibox sid is done is connect the ribbon from the leds grounding to the dout pcb, and then solder the 2dins 2douts 2 cores together with the c64pcu and i should be done. but my problem was i grounded all the leds cathodes in 2 set for each dout kit, when when i was looking at the schematic, i saw that each 8 was grounded, so i was like oh shit i did this wrong doing the whole dout to 1 ground altogether. i have fucked up all doing this and later figured it out by myself and fixed it. but this i problem is i used that liquid electric tape stuff, thats like a rubber paint, on all the led ground(VS) connections, so trying to undo this problem would be insane. so i decided to try asking, before taking many hours to undo this mistake, that might not need undoing. thanks for the help tho nils

cool thanks! now is this also the same for din, of only true with the dout board? thanks!

i have a question on a dout board there is 4 sets of 10 pins, 8 of which connect to the anode leg of the led, and the 9th pin (vs) connects in daisy chain to all 8 leds ,the grounding, i was wondering could the grounding connection be connected to all 32 leds on the dout to only 1 grounding connection, and daisy chained to all 32? or can it only be daisy chained up to 8? so basically the vs pin, there is 1 per 8 pins, connection all 8 leds, instead, only i chain all 32 and only use 1 vs pin? if not can they be mixed? can the grounding connection be connected to a led where the anode leg is in another set of 8pins than that grounding connection? thanks!

thanks nils i wasnt checking ac i was in dc! i might be having the same problem you were having goblinz, my little radioshack 20$ multimeter will not rate below 200v in ac, but on the 200v i get 1.2 could this mean 12volts? i cant wait till i get the power done, i now have all the sid modules done, but only 1 of each i need 2 more douts and 1 more din, and i think for now i will just do a 1 sid in stereo, so one more sid module. not to get side tracked on posted before,but i was also thinking that if the last topic on finding what ever part was done 2 years ago, that people may now know of a cheaper site or a site with more colors or sizes of that part than was known 2 years ago when the topic was 1st wrote.

thanks, but how odd both psu's have no 9 volts, i have a 128 commodore waiting for me in virginia though its going to be a few weeks before i get there so i will try that one when i get there.

i am sorry about before, but this site is far differnet from the usual forums i attend that normally want as many new topics as possible, and discussion is key. obviously this is different. an at 1st i didnt quite understand that. but no only 5.16 volt and nothing else. that i can find. i have searched around the board looking for different voltages to maybe try and figure out where i messed up, but the only other place i find anything is at the bridge, which i believe i found either 1 or 3 volts. thanks!

i tried to redo the powersupply, i un-soldered the cables and started from the begining and attempted to redo it. and got the exact same thing 5.16, and no 14volts. i have a question, on the scamatic there are parts that that on the same side of the part have more than one connection of another part to it, in this situation the cables can all cnect at the same point or should there be a sequence? like lets say on the scametic on the left side of the part something is connected and on the right side something else connects to it, should it be like this on the bored with say 3 connecting points, or all 3 cables soldered at the same point? thanks

sorrry these are not the best pics, i couldnt get my good camera to work so i used my iphone.

i am on my way to work so i will take the picture tonight, in about 12 hours. though there is alot of cables back there i think i better label things 1st.

i am wondering if since it is pulling in the 5volts ok, does that mean the old c64 power supply is good, its just somewhere my wires are crossed or something and thats why the side that should be pulling in the 14volts is pulling in 0.00 volts??? as you can probably tell i am completely new to electronics. but i have got my sid,core, ain, din, and dout all done, but until the power is up and running i cant yet test my work on those. anyways let me know about your thoughts on why i cant pick up the 14volts when ever you have a chance.

well here is some pics i hope this helps you help me, tell me if you need a pic of something else. IMG_0581.JPG

thanks for the help! but yeah i am using the old c64 power cable and i have attempted to make the optimized psu that is on ucapps, and i have mostly been using the danielprice site thats linked on ucapps to figure it out, since it has acual pictures on there on how to make it. but anyways the only parts i used from the old c64 is 1 cap 2200uf v15 & the c64 power switch and power connection. all other parts are brand new, also my 330uf cap i didnt see where it said to connect negitive o or positive. i dont know let me know what you think i could possibly try to get it woeking. thanks! Gunner

hey so i thought i did everything right, but then when i went to plug it in and test voltages, i came to a problem, only the 5 volt side is working. i tried to poke around with the multimeter to try to figure out where i went wrong, but no where on the 14 side am i really puling any voltage in, the only thing i am really finding is 5volts. every once in a while i will pick up a volt or 2, but i havent yet seen my multimeter go above 5,16 anywhere on the psu. i dont really know what i am doing when it comes to trouble shooting, any pointers or anyone know what this sounds like? thanks!
