Midnite Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I've connected a 15v 1a psu to the sid module first, then ran a connector from j1 on the sid to j1 on the core. All the core voltages measure correctly(5v), but I get nothing in the sid pics. BTW, I haven't installed any chips yet. I measured the voltage at the sid regulator and got 12.90 from middle to left pin(Vs to IN on smashes board or when numbers on the regulator are facing you) and 11.80 from middle to right(Vs to OUT).Any suggestion?

midiboxxer Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hello,with 15V on the J1 port of the core the voltage regulator will get very hot!You forgott to supply the sid modul with 5V from the core. (J2 to J2)Please look here:http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_sid_c64_psu.pdfYou use the sid 6581, right?Then 12V are O.K.Best regardsMarkus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnite Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 It seems evey time I post something I figure out my own problem within a couple hours. I got the core and sid up and running. Even got my first .sid songs running off it. Everything seems to be running smoothly. I took the heat sink off my old c64 and put it on the 7805 on the core. Runs hot but within reason. Only it and the 6581 are the ones getting any heat at all. My 2x40 display is doing good and I've already ordered a din and ain from smash. I'm a happy boy! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
