NorthernLightX Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 How about a set of sixteen 22nF 1% tolerance capacitors?I'd still like to get some of those, earlier you said some guys in Europe got some from a group buy or something but I haven't been able to source them :-[So, anybody who has 16 of those 1% 22nF caps spare (more are welcome, 20 for example) and would like to part with them (I'll gladly pay for them and expenses): please contact me! :-*sorry to hijack the thread, hope you'll forgive me ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just bought 200 more from eBay, and plan to distribute with 6582 SID orders.But I can send some out to you no problem... if no one else volunteers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugfight Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 ahem,how are we gonna establish a pecking order if you guys stray from the topic at hand!heheanyways, all 8 SIDs rocking away now.holy crap how fat this is. as ferris beuller says, "if you have the means, i highly recommend it"can barely keep from soldering up the cp.hold firm, wait for the front panel, almost there.... stay on target...i'm like a kid waiting for christmas...

bugfight Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 i used 90 degree SIL headers instead of soldering ribbon directly to the control panel. this saved my ass big time, when i had to trace down a short (turned out to be caused by the lcd mount, so trim those leads behind the LCD!) and also what turned out to be several damaged traces on the brd, which are thin, so i just did end runs around them (soldering a wire between the two nearest pads) all i had to do was unplug the panel and trace away. Wilba pointed out a great idea for tracing the LEDs: with panel disconnected you can use a 5v line with 1k resistor to trace all the LEDs, just ground each of the 8 pins where the transistors would go in turn and touch each other DOUT line with 5v through the resistor.

bugfight Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 i used press on DIL connectors like SmashTV sells. this is not only way easier than crimping all those SIL pins, but also is a shorter connector and has strain relief. note that i only use one row of the connector and thus solder every other cable line. i shoved the 90 degree sil connectors down all the way when i soldered them which allowed me to use the top row, but it might be just fine to leave them at the original height and use the bottom row...i did use a two pin SIL connector for the power and ground pins.

bugfight Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 here's the back. i used neutrik audio jacks with the internal thread, which looks pretty good, i think. the feedback pots i used were 100k instead of 500k which works fine. i mounted the expansion port but nothing is connected to it yet (soon to be Seppoman's ssm filters and who knows what else?) the fan makes some noise so i'm gonna think about what to do about that after i play with it some more.

Smithy Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 *Added a link to your alternative wiring guide in the wiki.One thing i don't understand BF, is why your LCD does not look at all like the Green-Yellow LCDs in the Bulk Order you ordered it from.It looks a much nicer green - green.Did you achieve this by changing the contrast?The colour you have is a perfect alternative to using a PLED, without the noise.

bugfight Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 i don't know about the color, i adjusted brightness and contrast to make the bg look black... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 i don't know about the color, i adjusted brightness and contrast to make the bg look black...Thanks! i didnt realise you could change the colour to that extent.I have yet to fiddle with contrast pots. :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
