dubka Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Are the joystick ports only on Therezin's board (and soldered together?) because he's building it into the c64 case?Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe for connecting banksticks externally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're wired up for external banksticks built into DSUB9 connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubka Posted June 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 How does that work then? The 2 ports only seem to be connected to one another...?Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therezin Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 The 4-pin connection that is wired to the sockets (SIL header) will be connected to the bankstick port on the MBHP_CORE module. The sockets are both connected exactly the same way. The bankstick's ID will be set by the wiring inside the bankstick itself, either permanently or with the aid of some DIP switches.

dubka Posted June 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Am I right in thinking that the lcd at the top of the first control panel page is strapped to a dinx1 with 2 rubber bands?!Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLightX Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Am I right in thinking that the lcd at the top of the first control panel page is strapped to a dinx1 with 2 rubber bands?!MartinNo, that's not a DINX1, just some protoboard with the buttons and an encoder mounted (the actual IC is on another board, probably a DINX4). You were right about the rubber bands though ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Therezin: that bridge rectifier has different pinouts to the ones I've seen, where +/- are diagonally opposite. I recall another MIDIbox builder got caught by that difference and fried a transformer. Can you put a warning note or something on your website???

I'll put the warning on tonight when I've finished work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
