tim_pugh Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hello, After a long gestation period, my mb6582 is nearing completion (i hope). It is using PCB option 2, I have finished the base PCB, tested all voltages, connected the lcd screen, uploaded the mb6582 app, and everything seemed to be working. After having soldered all the parts in the CS, inserting the PIC's, 1 of the sid module chips, all the 74HC595 & 74HC165 chips and plugging it in, when I turn on, I get a screen saying "CS not enabled". I have tested the links between the base and CS, which are all fine, then tested adjacent links and found 1 short on JD2 between D1 & D2 that seemed to be fixed by cleaning up one the joints and the joints on R32, but I still get the same response on the LCD. I'm a bit of a novice at this type of thing and at this point I'm not sure where to go to troubleshoot. It's also possible that I've missed a step, I was expecting the CS to be detected and work. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I believe "CS not enabled" is displayed only when the PIC is not the "master", the "master" PIC goes in the far right slot and should have ID=0, the other PICs should have ID=1, ID=2, ID=3. Did you burn the bootloader yourself, or are these PICs from SmashTV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that the master PIC would be the first one I connected to which is the one on the right. I guess I might have got them mixed up. I have removed all the other PIC's now to simplicy, I will check it is the master this evening. Thanks again, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingosimon Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 If you got the kit from SmashTV, you got 4 different PIC chips with the following labels: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0002 0000 0000 0000 0003 The master (the slot closest to the power supply section needs tot be the chip ending in 0000.

tim_pugh Posted November 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Thanks guys, changing the master PIC worked. I've got lots of LED's flashing & the encoders and switches work. Next step is to read the manual. Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
