Burst Generator question

Burst Generator question

2002-06-06 by mmarsh100

Hello All -

I just finished the BG hooked it up and no joy. Looking at the
docs, there appears to be two jumpers (bug fixes) on the back of the
board. I didn't see this documented but I suspect that I need to do
this.

I get an oscilloscope on Monday so I can check the output then.

There is no bug fix on the Burst Generator. The jumpers in the photo are
connecting the unassigned LED to the selected output.

Most likely you have a construction error - a solder bridge, bad joint or
whatever.

Thanks, Ken. I get Trigger out, but no burst. I've probably got
something backwards (which POT out goes to which lug on the pot?
Does CLK O go to the top lug or the right lug? Which of the 3 GRDs
go to jacks? That kind of thing). I'll troubleshoot and let you
know.

All righty -

I get burst when I connect an external clock. Yippee! Sounds cool,
too.

But it does point to me hooking the rate pot backwards, I think.
I'll dig into this and see.

You don't need to use any specific gnd pad. I usually run a wire from one of
the gnd pads to the first jack, then a wire from that jack to the next and
so on, and don't use the other gnd pads at all.

One pot pag goes to the center, the other to the right terminal, when
looking at the pot from the front (shaft side), with the terminals at the
bottom.
CLK 0 goes to the switched terminal on the "external in" jack, not the pot.
CLK I goes to the non switched terminal on the "external in" jack. This is
so that when you plug a jack in, the internal clock is disconnected.

Cheers,

Ken

I did it like Ken, and my module works very well. I control my Mono/Poly's
arpeggiator w/ it, and it's loads of fun. It took me a bit to learn how to
use it, though. I thought 'Trigger Out' was the burst output, but 'Pulses'
is. Silliness!
