Wilba Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 LOL! BTW contrary to urban legend, I do not eat silicon and shit SIDs... my 6582A SIDs are 100% original and not clones ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Haha yeah that's me, guilty as charged. These were videos from my local hardware group I go to. People tend to do a lot of things PIC there. Anything from a ice-chest robot which sends you drinks, to a Holiday lights display (that's from the guy filming the video - 10k lights this year!). The robot guy (Fredrick) even built the PIC-based demo that won some demoscene contest a year or so ago. I apologize for the audio and dim LEDs. I used 1k resistors and I think I should have used 440 or something along those lines. They work well for me when I'm using the MB-6582 but they could be brighter. Pretty good stuff, though I was likely going to make a better demo but have been focusing on the sammichSID for now since it's easier to build and a bit more portable. That gives me time to add polish to my MB-6852. It's almost done save for the wiring issues I keep having with the control surface, but I've been pondering ripping all that out and starting over. Charles (again the guy filming) found really nice cabling I may use that's extremely bendable and even a bit stretchy. Chances are you might see another one of these videos when I finish the sammichSID assuming people are interested in that at the local meetup. I guess that was my 15 minutes of forum fame :) @Wilba: Say what you want but I still think it's some sort of magic how you managed to find all these SIDs. But I'm not complaining :) The 6582's in particular are absolutely fantastic! Edited December 6, 2009 by m00dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00dawg Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Perhaps, but the idea that one can eat silicon and shit SIDs, though you deny such claims, is intriguing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingosimon Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Good video! Mostly inspiring, but the LCD trouble scares me. I installed the LCD onto my other midibox successfully, so hopefully it'll go well on the MB6582. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 "Ooh, there goes my LCD again..." "What's wrong with it?" "Well, essentially I suck at putting things together" Classic. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00dawg Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 @wilba: Haha yeah pretty much :) @pingsimon: So first, don't use my experience to scare you away :) It's probably not a good sample of a capable person. Second, the LCD thing isn't hard to fix and, worst case, you can just unsolder the cable and solder a new one to the LCD. It has flat pads so it's not all that hard to do, just takes a bit of time. Just don't make your cable longer than it needs to be and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
