mbSID stereo, LCD wiring mod necessary?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, so far I have tested both smashTv's Core and 2 mbSID modules ->one each time, all working fine.

Next step is to connect all together, that is 1 Core controlling 2 mbSid= stereo mbSID.

I'm planning to make an extra board with all the modified wiring and IDC connectors(like a jumper on steroids hehe) to avoid funny pin wiring so I can keep using 1 to 1 wires on the Core.

And I need to ask if the "disconnect D0-D3 on the LCD" is necessary for this config.(only 1 Core, no plans for more) maybe I can skip this one on the extra board?

thanks!

I think it's easiest to just connect the LCD directly to Core and just don't solder the D0-D3 wires onto the LCD. If you don't strip those wires, they can just be taped back to the cable itself in case someday you want to use this LCD for something else that requires all 8 data wires connected.

Yes it is. 2 x 8 = 16. On your LCD pins there's going to be a mark of some sort indicating pin 1. The rest is just counting.
