arumblack Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 hello, first post here, i am interested in making the sid module, and i got a chip already, a 6581r4ar.i have soldered before(cables and basic repairs to loose jacks and such), and made some simple things in high school, a little circuit that made some led's flash, and a tesla coil from a tv flyback transformer, but nothing this complex.i want to do it all myself from the promming to the circuit boards, so i guess i need the jdm programmer first? then the core and sid modules?eventually i would like to build a 4 sid unit with a sequencer, and maybe add a curtis or SEM filter to it. this may need some extra circuits as those ar cv devices, but i believ this could be acomplished with the analog out module?also, i read that you can get samples from microchip and other companies, how do i get them?? do i have to be a company or student?that should do for now, thanks and i look forward to building many of theese things!

pay_c Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Yes, u need all those modules. First the JDM naturally.There is a analog out in planning by TK, but I dont know when its coming.I would rather build the SID and the Sequencer seperated. Its just one MIDI cable between them and this way u can also plug all that stuff to other Sequencers/Synthis.Microchip: Just go on their site, register and go to Samples section. You dont have to be a cmpany, also there is some comapny name required. Just type in your name - or whatever - there again, its gonna be OK.btw: Welcome to the fast growing MBHP crew! Have fun!

arumblack Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 yes, having them seperate could be good, i was mainly going for an integrated package for simplicity... i could put them in the same case, with seperate ins and out's, and maybe a switch to connect them with no cables???alsoare there enogh channels on the seq to control a four sid synth? i ordered samples from microchip.should arrive this week, it's really cool that they ship them out free(and fed ex at that).i also ordered somepic 16f's beacause i can use thoese for the sid slaves right? but they did not have pic 16f877"s they had pic16f877a's. Can i use those? what is the difference?glad to be a part of the mbhp family! and can't wait to start on theese things, though it may be a month before i can gather up the components, tools and spare time to get started.in the meantime i will be keeping an eye on this forum and asking questions as i come up with them.

Steven_C Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 yeah, TK says they work, I'm about to program one for Nat, and I'll let you know how it goes.Note that there are a few extra things to be aware of when programming the pic16F877A, do a forum search, to find 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
