marioguzzi Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Hi,I'm building a midibox sid step A surface, I bought the kit from SmashTv consisting of:1 Core r4d1 Sid r3d (with 8580chip)1 KS0066 lcd mounted in 4bit mode with resistor and diode connected to d3-d21 din r5 with 1 rotary encoder, menu button and 5 buttons connected to j3 and j4boards are fully populatedsoftware installed:MIOS 1.9fSID 2.0 applicatio rc14the problem is that by pressing the menu button or #5 select button I get "CAN bus errors" relative to sid 3 and 4 respectively.Also the rotary encoder is not working properly, when it comes to changing parameters the parameter value on the display blinks but value doesn't change.I tried troubleshooting with srio_interconnection app. and voltage values on the lines are alright (both on j1 and on every single chip),also midi128 app. works properly: all the buttons and the encoder send midi note on/off normally.What could be the problem?

cimo Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 ciao marioi am not (yet) a big SID expert but as far as i can see, you ve uploaded an app that expects 4 (or more) sids to be connected and pressing the menu buttons probably you try to switch the SID engine (1,2 to 3,4)about the encoder, can you tell us which kind of encoder you are using there are some issues with some specific encoderssimone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marioguzzi Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 -I thought the application fitted all. where can I find apps for specific configurations? (at the moment I'm using a single SID module but I'm planning to build a single-core/stereo-SID)-I got the encoder from Smash, actually i had a wrong wiring now it's fixed. the result is that also the encoder triggers can bus errors :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 This sounds like the DIN table is not configured correctly.i.e. the menu button is connected as the "SID 3" button.Which wiring are you using to connect buttons to the DIN module?Which .hex file are you uploading?

Wilba Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 If you look at this diagram:http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_cs/mbsid_v2_din_default.pdfif you had the menu encoder, menu button and select #5 connected to J6 (instead of J4), you would get this behaviour.

marioguzzi Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 You got it!I was confused by DIN board's silkscreening ::)Looking again at the diagram I noticed that the board has J3 to J10 to connect digital inputs,while on the board only j3 to j6 are printed.thanks and happy holidays :)edit: oh, I'm using setup_8580.hex from midibox_sid_v2_0_rc14.zip found on ucapps.and now it seems working properly, so i don't need to modify the assembler for a specific hardware configuration (single-core mono or stereo sid), right?

If you only have one SID connected, turn on the Mono setting from the Ensemble (see the manual)... this will make the Multi, Bassline and Drum engines work properly.
