Echopraxia Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Where is that picture of mike's banktick pcb schematic? I ordered one and remember seeing the diagram somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiboxxer Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I think you mean this:http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_bankstick.htmlLook at the bottom of the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echopraxia Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I just got my bankstick pcbs from mike and I had a question. One side has the copper tracings and the other side is just plain bread board. My question is do the banksticks get placed on the bread board side ,then I flip the board over and solder the pins on the copper side correct? There is no nice legend like on smash's boards. I would hate to solder the banksticks on the wrong way. I don't need any dil sockets to mount the banksticks to the pcb right? Sorry that these are very simple questions which I should know by now but smash has spoiled me. ;D Also what are the pins to the right with the red line going down used for?

Parts go on the plain side (see the pictures for the correct alignment). About sockets, YES. Use sockets. The red line probably indicates where a jumper wire needs to be soldered. Again, check carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echopraxia Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks for the reply. So I guess banksticks can be mounted on 8 pin Dual sockets? Banksticks seem so small is there a special type of socket? Has any one ordered these before. I asked mike if I need anything else when I ordered but never got a reply. Mike Help me out! :PIf I don't use sockets can I damage the bankstick when soldering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiocommander Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 If I don't use sockets can I damage the bankstick when soldering?Yes, these chips are heat-sensitive. Get normal 8-pin sockets, they're just a few cents each.They are quite common, plain 8-pin IC sockets like the one for the optocuppler on the Core:eg at Reichelt: - GS8 for 0,03 EUR (!)- GS8P (golden contacts) for 0,10 EURBest,Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbv2 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 hi alli also received a bankstick PCB from Mike.and of course i have a question.my banksticks are all soldered in like shown here: (with sockets ;) )http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9981.0;attach=1636my question is regarding the pins: is the position of the pins the same like here?:http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_bankstick.htmland is it still necessary to add the jumper-wire.i watched the copper traces for about a hour to find out about the pinning but ???is it possible to find out the pinning by using a multimeter?thank you allbtw. i also received my displays last week...switched on...aaaand its alive and says hello (READY) ;D feels good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, try to imagine each chip rotated by 180 degrees. The "pin 1 marker", located in the ICs' upper side in the schematic and in their lower side in the board, says that.is it possible to find out the pinning by using a multimeter?Why not?Best regards, RAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbv2 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 heythank you for the reply.i figured it out by changin the pins while mios was runnig.. ::)cant wait to get my frontpanel..thanksrbv2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
