koshimazaki Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hey guys, First thing wanted to say is thanks to everyone who helped me so far and specially to Wilba and Nils who are very patient :) Unfortunately I still have weird problems with my Sammich i mentioned some of it in this thread: here is what happens and what i tried: I'm stuck on uploading sammich_sid_setup.hex file. Sammich hangs on MIOS Rebooting, and I get row of squares after switching on and off. I can upload SammichCStest.hex without problems as well as MIOS 1.9g, it says Ready. and I get quick Copyrights massage too. I tested PIC in different core. While plugged in to it I can send the hex file and get ' Application up and running' unfortunately once i move PIC back to Sammich, Mios Studio again says 'Bootloader up and running'. Weird thing is if I do the same thing with Mios 1.9g.hex and CStest file it works on both cores - Application up and running and test is fully working on Sammich. I have no luck even with CS unplugged and 595s disconnected - still row of squares and 'Bootloader is up and running' in MIOS studio. Nils mentioned it might be CAN bus, that diode could be a problem. None of my diodes beep in continuity mode. They report 1400 and 600 depends which way I connect multimeter. I have spare diode and it says 1 or 600 and the one on the working core 1800 and 600 they all seem to be 4841. My multimeter is cheapest one you can get from Rapid and the black stick is falling off so its not totally accurate. Voltage checks seem fine I get 4.98-5V on the places where 5V is supposed to be, continuity mode beeps where its suppose to, etc. I also replaced freaky looking cap (C8) to 104 from old SmashTV kit and cleaned the board. I use Mercury, MODEL: 661.300 power supply its on 12V- 500mA I haven't inserted Sids and Banksticks yet. I also tried uploading app v1.5 but mios says error out of range or something simmilar guess its not compatible... What else should I try? I am happy to post more photos if its gonna help. Is there anyone in UK, North Yorkshire area with working SID that I could plug my PIC into? Please PM me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koshimazaki Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I solved it! I think it was tiny ricochet of solder that landed on one of the sids IC sockets and that could have prevented from booting if not that I don't have a clue. With this project I definitely learned to clean soldering as I work. Apart from that it went quite smooth and Wilba's and Nils' help was just amazing! Anyways Sammich rocks! :frantics: Thanks so much to TK, Wilba, Nils, Smash, Bugfight and Flem for encouragement and help. You are all good people! I will finally have fun with my first Sid synth, include a photo for your pleasure, will send more once its painted. Take care guys!
