I couldn't agree more :thumbsup:

There has been built many hundred MBSIDs, both the modular ones, MB6582s and SammichSIDs - and they all work :) i can say for sure that the pinout of the SID has been tested thoroughly through many years, so i honestly think you should look for the error someplace else. Also the schems you ask for - these have been proven to work over and over again On a sidenote; it would be very peculiar if the two SIDs suffered from the exact same filter problem :unsure:

You can find answers to all of your questions by searching the forum a little bit, saerching in our wiki, reading on ucapps.de There are also extensive threads and documents that describe the mb6582 in very great detail. Such documents and threads also exist for the SammichSID. Happy reading :flowers:

Happy birthday ANTIX :D I found cake for you

It doesn't really get much easier than SammichSID - Full kit - Easy build, very well documented - Cheap Keep in mind that many people built a SammichSID, even beginners :thumbsup: The only alternative that would be any easier, would be to buy a MSSIAH for your C64.

Jeg tror jord er pin8, og 5V er pin16. Det ligner i hvert fald i datasheet http://www.futurlec.com/74HC/74HC165.shtml På mit DIN board har jeg pin 15 til jord, ligesom det er vist her http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_din.html (se 'soldering guide' billeder, de to øverste) Kondensatorerne har jeg monteret imellem pin16 og jordplanet. Men... hvis det kun er visse pins som ikke virker kan det også sagtens være en kortslutning, enten lodningen eller kondesatorens ben som rører ved noget og dermed forårsager en kortslutning. Tro endelig ikke fuldt på dette ;) jeg har kun loddet et DIN modul nogensinde, så medmindre nogen har et bedre bud på hvor fejlen ligger, så er det bedre hvis vi prøver os frem forsigtigt og debbaterer undervejs. Undskyld for det 'trasiga svaret' :flowers:

Oh, there might still be hope for me too then :tongue: Still i'm only semidouche.. going for super, ofcourse

You can also find tons of info at http://www.ucapps.de/ All midiboxes are listed and explained there, but also each and every midibox module is described with building guides and everything you would want to know to get your own build going :) On that site you also can find links to other important resources, like our wiki (also mentioned by Levon in the post above), shops where you can order parts for midiboxing, and a pretty sexy gallery that holds pictures of a lot of beautiful builds which members has built in the past (pictures of even newer builds can be found in the gallery section of this forum). Ofocurse you can also find a lot of help if you search this forum. If you have a question, chances are very high that it has been asked before, and that way you can find answers much quicker instead of having to wait till someone answers your post. It is a kind of 'unwritten rule' we practice inhere; to avoid forummembers ansering the same questions over and over again, we urge newcomers to read, read and then read a little more - and don't worry :) to start out with you will probably find all of the information to be confusing, but quickly you will get the hang of it. I'm really happy that you decided to give it a shot :thumbsup: Welcome to the coolest community on the internet!

Maybe you're in luck :) It looks like Twin-X has some

It might be the SIDs. Try to swap them and see if the problem shifts too.

Har du set denne her? http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=traktorizer_by_mte Det er en midibox dj controller. Du kunne bygge sådan en i stedet for, og dermed helt undgå at konvertere fra digital til analog.

If the aim is a C64 PSU design, the the 9V needs to be AC, actually edit: http://www.allpinouts.org/index.php/Commodore_C64_Power_Supply

Dejligt at det virker nu :) Enjoy! Held og lykke med resten af byggeriet

Altså, du erstatter regulatoren med en bro, og så tilslutter du 5V til J2 i stedet for J1, ikke?? Ligesom det er beskrevet her http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_4xsid_c64_psu_optimized.pdf (se punkt 3) De 5V behøver ikke at gå igennem ensretter eller kondensator. Jeg selv plejer at forbinde 5V direkte til Core hvor regulatoren før var, men det er nok bedre at bruge J2, som beskrevet i pdf-dokumentet Hvis du måler direkte på C64-trafon, får du så 5V ??

Nej, det gør det ikke, skriver han

Hej oano, og velkommen til Midibox forum :) Du har intet gjort forkert :) men mangler noget vigtigt, ser du; de pins som ikke giver nogen volt er 5Volt pins. Du vil først se 5V på disse pins når Core og SID modul er forbundet - de 5V til SID modulet kommer nemlig fra Coren. Se her, allernederst: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_sid.html Citat: Altså, så snart du har forbundet Core og SID modul, kan du se 5Volt på de resterende pins

I just built a voltage doubler too, from the handdrawn schem here Mine was also a little bit off, but it seems that when it's under load it behaves just as expected - i use mine for MBFM Tried to clear the schem up a bit (built to run MBFM from C64 PSU)

Yeah :) congratulations on your new core!

Wow, that would produce such results? and the 7805 VREG would cope?? Hehe, i really need to learn this stuff soon, very very soon!

This picture shows the pin numbers of the PIC pin http://circuits.datasheetdir.com/19/PIC16F874A-pinout.jpg Notice the notch in one end of the chip - you can see the same notch in one end of your PIC socket so you can easily identify the right pins to measure. Here is the optocoupler 6N138 http://msxlink.chat.ru/img/elements/6n138.jpg Same thing; there is a round 'mark' at pin1, and that mark resembles the notch in the 6N138 socket. It's hard for me to visualise 'bottom-left' and 'top-left' since i don't know which way your core is turning :D but with the links above you should be able to easily identify the right pins.. For the pins marked 'Vss' you should use the black probe of the multimeter. Red probe on 'MCLR' and 'Vdd' pins (according to this link http://encyclobeamia.solarbotics.net/articles/vxx.html) Edit: Nice, you posted a picture now :) looks correct, so just forget this!

You really should 'coordinate' bidding so you don't try to outbid eachother :) the SIDs would get REALLY expensive. @Spazi - there has been a lot of 'not cool' SID sellers on eBay and similar places, i'm not saying that this one is bad or anything (i don't know him, and he may very well sell nice stuff at good price), but some precaution should be considered. Lots of stories about SIDs being sanded down and remarked and so on, and so on (a lot of these stories you can even find here in this forum) If you want to, you could post a few photos of the SID? it could be fun to see the stuff you bought from him

Hi Jerome.. This is just a guess, but maybe you are using the + and - of the multimeter in the wrong way? Are you sure you did not accidentally use the red probe(+) on the 'ground' pin of PIC, and the black probe(-) on the +5V of PIC? I don't know the guide-pdf file you are using, but on the ucapps.de site, there is also a description how to measure core, it says: Please try to check voltage again according to the stuff i quoted from ucapp.de, and let us know if you still get the same result Crossing my fingers :) Flemming
