mookie Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm currently in the process of stuffing the DIN board for a MIDIbox SID and I'm slightly confused by the layout. I'm just a little baffled by the row of contacts that appear to sit below the top row of resistors and are connected to four of each of the switches. Would someone please enlighten my, or possibly make me feel slightly foolish for not realising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I assume you mean the resistor networks ;-) they pull up each input pin via 10k.If that's not the case - what board (Smash's, Mike's) and what revision are we looking at?

mookie Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's smashes board and I believ its a revision 5. The contacts I'm on about are actually covered byt the pull up resistors once they're installed. Hoever, I seem to remember reading a post somewhere along the line that suggested the board was designed to take either a single resistor array or sets of individual resistors. I'm starting to think that they can be safely ignored, but I'm very curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Correct: As you've figured out already, those additional holes are on the board to allow for single resistors instead of networks ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie Posted February 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I hope I'm not getting peoples back up. I have a habit of thinking out loud and I'm trying to learn so much I occasionally need to post a question as much for the answer as to arrange my thoughts.Thanks for all the help so far...
