basic SID confused - how to go on?

[jaydee]

Hi Guys.

I now have the pic & sid combo working with an external midi (keyboard). I also have one mem bank (512) , lcd (2*16 for now) and a dinx module (all) from smash tv. But the dinx (w encoder) does not do anything. If I pull down SO/SI to ground the menu of my LCD switches (also the sound of the sid), but still no encoder or switches are working. I am also missing the sequencer. I may have the wrong software (just uploaded main / setup 6581) or incomplete or do I have to upload the sequencer software ???

Can someone help me with my dinx and with the next steps?

Thanks

JayDee

Have you soldered the buttons and encoders to the default SR pins?

[jaydee]

Hopefully yes,

I tried this one (latest config)

http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_cs/mbsid_v2_din_default.pdf (but only switches on J3/4/5 and one encoder on J4.

but also tries this one

do you have power on your chips on the dinx board?

SNR...........

meaning?

[nILS]

meaning?

Meaning: The tags you chose are so ambiguous that they don't really help at all. Hence, stryd_one used the [ x ]-Button and removed them to keep the SNR (signal-to-noise-ratio) as high as possible :-)

Seems that the DIN is not working

Can you assist what tags I should use? None?

It really depends. Most often, you don't need to tag... but sometimes it's a good idea, where you find a post (yours or someone else's) that has good information (solutions/documentation) that you feel could be linked to other, similar posts - and those posts should have the same tag(s) in them, too.

But, if you "get it wrong", then we'll fix em up eventually anyway :) Don't worry too much about it!
