Hi Bob,
I uploaded a few photos of my oscilloscope shots into a folder called "Tom's" in the photos section here. I named them to include the time & volts settings but unfortunately the names were cut off... so I've included the time & volts division settings for each one below.
I'm not sure what you mean about "power cycling"... do you mean repeatedly turning the synth off and on in between turning the controls...?
Nothing happens to the DAC output waveform when I turn those controls in TEST mode.
And Pin 6 on the 8048 is sitting HIGH
Pin 32 has a waveform - the one I called 'washed out' or 'blurred'. It isn't an actual pulse like the one on pin 11, as you can see... it's not a single line but a mush of weak looking lines all together. That is how I tried explaining the difference.
When I switch the test switch it stays much the same just becomes smaller in amplitude.
The oscilloscope shots I've uploaded are -
Pin11: ALE (2v/.5uS)
Pin1: T0 (10mV/.5uS)
Pin3: Xtal (50mV/.5uS)
Pin4: Reset (20mV/.5uS)
Pin6: Inh (50mV/.5uS)
Pin32: in normal mode (50mV/.5uS)
Pin32: in test mode (50mV/.5uS)
DAC pin4: output (1V/2uS)
Cheers,
Tom

I would also check the INTb pin, pin 6 and see if it's sitting low.
If you turn on the test switch, and then power cycle the synth, if the CPU is working
it should go into a tight loop of code where it just converts channel 0 (Eff Spd/Int) and
chan 1 (filter cutoff) over and over in a loop. You should see the DAC output change to follow
those two voltages as you change the pots. If that is working, then the MCU is OK.
If it's not, then troubleshooting just that loop should be easier than the main control loop.

Yes Bob... pin 4 Reset is sitting 'high'
(according to my logic probe) and I also measure 4.85v on it
... I can do the procedure successfully - adding the 56K
resistor, setting VR1 so reset is just 'low' and
when I remove the resistor it then jumps to
'high'.
All that
works... so would you then say that my 8048 processor is
good?Could the MCU be getting stuck because
it's faulty or would another fault elsewhere cause
that?Should I
be looking elsewhere do you reckon?
I am seeing a sine wave of
about 50mV on 'T0' - 8040 pin1 - that's not
right is it?
Cheers,Tom
