illogik Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 yeah, it's for the lcd, and i think you got it in the right wayif you are getting to the point that you are 1000% sure the hardware checks are ok (voltages/connections); and you still have no midi activity, it could be that the bootstrap isn't loaded correctly, for some strange reason. But like i said; if you bought a pre burned PIC, this would seem unlikely to me.and you need a programmer/burner to check this of course.. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jidis Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Make sure it's the solder sponge too. Regular ones supposedly can't handle the heat or corrode the tips.I've been meaning to reply back to this. I ran across the place I read that again, and it said that a cellulose (natural) sponge is OK. They're regular "grocery store junk", and I've been using one for the past month.- Georgehttp://members.shaw.ca/sask.rail/model-book/soldering/soldering.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
