Good to hear :thumbsup:

When compiling stuff you can set a variable: export MIOS32_LCD=universal Maybe something has to be altered there. Just not sure what is needed for your display.

Don't blame Tim. These are just the going rates for sending stuff across to Europe from the States by UPS. By the looks of it, Portugal is not on the list yet. But maybe you can ask Tim, as the Netherlands wasn't on the list either :thumbsup:

The 78xx series should not hum. Usually humming is caused by switching regulators. The 78xx are linear ones. These regulators need 3V extra to properly regulate. So a 7805 should be fed with at least 8VDC. Any excess voltage will be dispensated as heat. If the regulator gets (too) warm it will be able to produce less current. The 6581 needs 12VDC. So 10VAC is not enough. As the 7812 needs 15VDC input to regulate. So i would say you would need atleast 11VAC. Since most transformers don't come in that spec, you usually end up with a 12VAC one. Then the 2200pf 16V is pushed to the limit. Thankfully Tim used a high quality one.

9VAC will be around 12V rectified. And yes the 2200pf 16v is low rating. That's why Wilba recommends using a high quality one. A 2200pf 25v would be better, but then you run into problem with thickness of the legs and spacing.

Any details or links on orange's design? I am always interested in other peoples designs :ahappy:

Tbh, it may just seem that way. His picture is quite dark. And the leds don't look overly bright to me.

Core32 was the old development platform. But it has been marked depricated. You should use the LPC17. And yes you need to order LPCXPRESSO LPC1769 separate.

I felt a bit like a second-class citizen when i found out :ike: But the Germany-Airmail option worked just fine :thumbsup:

Yeah, was wondering as well if they manage to come up with an original design this time :whistle: And yes it looks hideous. Looking at the specs it's either one sid or maybe swinsid (500mA psu).

It seems modemachine is staging a launch of a new sid box: Edit: clickable now

Does your PIC work and is it burned correctly?

The dot is always pin 1. That should be soldered in the square pad. The rest of the pads are round.

Not recommended. About 8-9V DC would be ideal. The 78xx series need about 3V on top of their rating to properly regulate. If you go above that, the regulator will have to get rid of all the excess power by generating heat. So multiply the excess voltage with the amount of amps drawn....and you know with how many watts you are heating your room :whistle:

Nice, i like it. What sound did you use the Shruti for?

A lot of VA Synth use Motorola DSP. Or Freescale as they are called now. Think of synths as the Access Virus or Waldorf Blofeld.

It's in the Programmers Lounch section, which you probably dont have access to. Sorry about that.

Although not a full blown kit, there is something similar going on here: preenFM seems to be using the internal DAC though.

Very strange. Does the command "arm-none-eabi-gcc" work in a terminal with that path setting?

Don't blame Wilba. He is too busy mowing his lawn.

You are right. I overlooked TK's comments about MBHP_CORE_STM32.

You should check if there is a binary called: arm-none-eabi-gcc in the directory /usr/local/mios32_toolchain/bin If it is there, then there is a problem with your path. Check your path with the command: echo $PATH (in terminal) Check and see if /usr/local/mios32_toolchain/bin is in it. If is not there then you should unpack ftp://ftp.lansystems.co.uk/pub/midibox/mios32_toolchain_intelmac_20101024.zip again.
