Wiring this is a nightmare ...

They are very good , solid cases . Before I tryed to use a Cisco 2950 1U case but it's to small and the top is much more flexible than the Nortel case . I managed to get the SMPS from the Cisco , it's small and provide 12+ and 5+ :) the Nortel SMPS is too big ( triple size ) . I'am working in telecom industry and have a lot of discarded networking devices , they make very good cases ( and SMPS's ) for DIY projects :) I will post photos as soon i progress . Mihai .

Thanks ! Why did you removed the LCD's ? Some photo of the project so far

Another test : I uploaded a clean MIOS to the PIC18F452 and loaded the custom driver http://www.ucapps.de/mios/lcd7_pcd8544_v2a.zip . The PIC rebooted but no MIOS logo .. the LCD is dead .. :( I also changed the ID to 7 ( custom LCD ) useing the Change ID utility .. nothing .. I verified the PIN's useing LCD Interconnect utility .. all correct .. any idee ?

As the title say this is the place I hope getting answers to the problems I encounter in the build of a Traktorizer copy . Last night i finished my board , all the modules . I first burned the PIC18F452 with the bootloader , then useing MIOS studio I loaded MIOS 1.9G no problem so far . I decided to connect the 8 x Nokia 3310 Display's ( GLCD ) , first i connected only one display useing the http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_lcd_pcd8544_single_mios8.pdf diagram , i powered the core but nothing is displayed on the LCD :( then i loaded the Traktorizer firmware , same , nothing is displayed on the LCD . After loading the Traktorizer firmware i see a lot of activity on MIDI IN screen of MIOS Studio ... Is there any way of testing the LCD ? When I will connect all the LCD i have to follow the diagram for connecting only one but just swap the S0 ... S7 ? Thanks ! Mihai .

Today i finished the board . I hit the first problem , I connected one Nokia3310 LCD useing this http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_lcd_pcd8544_single_mios8.pdf diagram , I loaded MIOS and got the Operation System MIOS8 from MIOS Studio but nothing is displayed on the LCD . I then loaded Traktorizer firmware .. same .. nothing is displayed . I tryed connecting the LCD to S1 pin .. nothing . Also after loading traktorizer firmware i see a lot of activity in MIOS studio on the MIDI IN screen , is this normal ? Is there any way to test the LCD's ? I verifyed all the soldering and connections to the core . Thanks !

Hi , After talking to the first builder of Traktorizer i started my own build :) Here i will post pictures of the build as soon i progress , so far I etched my PCB's and done some soldering as well as programming the PIC and see it working in MIOS :) See you soon , Mihai .
