freddy Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hello,I've build fully-stuffed Wilba's PCBs with 8x SIDs and I am running across communication problems.When working with CS, it complains it cannot access one of the SIDs (SID3 to be precise, but I doubt it matters). The CS complains about MBNet problems (the message is 'SID3 not available' and '(No MBNet Response)' according to the sources, I cannot find reference to the 'TEXT_CS_MENU_MBNET_NO_RESP' anywhere, however.Furthermore, after some time of using SIDv2, I get '(CAN Bus Errors)' message and another SID (SID4) becomes unaccessible, however it plays the MIDI events/notes as expected, I just cannot access it and change the parameters. After powering off and back on the SID4 is accessible again, SID3 is not.Any hints what to look at? I've already measured the PCB links and everything appears to be okay, no shortcuits, no exceeding track resistance, nothing visible. The MIDI itself works okay, I'm still able to use the remaining two cores with no problems.THanks,freddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 [ x ] Did you forget R80?[ ] Did you forget the jumpers?[ ] Is the firmware on all PICs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks for reply, but:- R80 is in place- none of the jumpers seem to be missing (which one did you mean, in particular)- firmware is in there - connecting the LCD to each of the cores (save the master) yields the same message - banner message and info about not launching CS.

freddy Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 correction: though everything seemed to be in place as stated in my previous reply, re-flashing SID firmware to the SID3 core seemed to help at least with the MBNet. I'll wair for the CANbus errors to occur again, if ever.Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 MBNet is the protocol that travels over CAN, so that should be sorted now ;)I think the words you're searching for are "Thanks nILS!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy Posted December 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 So far no problems with MBNet/CAN. Thanks for pointers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonas Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hi, just for the sake of information (and hey, isn't sciencific progress about independent verification of testable hypotheses ;-), I had similar kind of problems, and it helped me too just to reflash the firmware; I reflashed both the MIOS and 6851.hex, so I'm not sure which one of them was the critical one, but anyway it helped.
