drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

Re: [emax] drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-05-23 by Ted Summers

Sometimes they have an image with the pins on the end, and then they are on
the top or bottom on a single row.
Per this datasheet: http://www.farnell.com/datasheets/1485421.pdf

It looks like it SHOULD work.
That is assuming the item is actually matching the datasheet.

Those appear to also be available in the US from Newark.

it's a little wider than the Raystar's I got....  data sheet here:
http://www.tme.eu/en/Document/c93b5a19b100407e7cd7c0a0a9965e30/REC001602AWPP5N00000.pdf

Note this is the WHITE display.

Re: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-05-23 by sweetsynthchuck

Thanks ted,

I have been searching for oleds with the side pins and the initial link is the only ones I have found so far, there are many oleds with top/bottom single rows of pins but the left hand side double row pins are less common.

also this may sound like a dumb question but what is the exact name for example I wanted to solder on a 16pin (insert name here) and solder it to the oled and simply connect a cable between screen and circuit board, headers/pins im not sure of the exact name, <as I have another sampler that needs to be replaced.

to be more precise, screen has 16pins soldered to it to enable a cable to connect to it, circuit board of sampler will have the same 16 pin and cable connects circuit board to oled.

Thanks

Re: [emax] Re: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-05-23 by Ted Summers

Rows of pins are called headers, the cable side is called a plug or socket.
For the Raystar I have linked whether Emax RACK or Keyboard you can get a
header and it will plug in directly on either.
You can get them from newark.com or mouser.com.
I have ordered from both.
Due to pin length requirements for the Keyboard, this is the item I got:
929665-03-36-I
http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=44F7490

or
Mouser Part #: 517-665-03-36


However, if you have a rack, you could get a shorter pin length, which will
affect the price because you cut off pins after soldering on the rack.
These are gold to prevent any connectivity issue.
TIn is much cheaper, but you get what you pay for...

I didnt' see the gold with less than 72 pins in that length.
But once you have the base part # and idea what you are looking for (per
above), you can search on the web til you are satisfied to get what you
want.

RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-11 by kevinlemonnier@...

Hello and thank you for accepting me in the forum.

Question about OLED spec.

Will 16X2 OLED 80X36X10mm fit? Or does it really have to be 85mm?

Thank you very much for your time.

Kevin

RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-11 by kevinlemonnier@...

this is the part, by the way http://www.rapidonline.com/electronic-components/16x2-oled-white-characters-on-black-background-80x36x10mm-57-2314

Re: [emax] RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-11 by Ted Summers

That isn't a "drop in" replacement- the pins don't match. Emax LCD has the connection on the end. It can work- you have to modify perhaps how the screw holes line up to mount (perhaps drilling holes), and solder the connections.

Could anyone confirm this one with connections on the end, as Ted pointed out? Many thanks for your time.

Re: [emax] RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-11 by Ted Summers

It's the same item from your prior link. their "stock" picture is wrong. That model is not made with a pinout on the end by Winstar. The true telling of it is not the picture, but looking at the TECH spec PDF file which has the dimensional drawing that shows what the pinout for the unit really is...

RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-11 by kevinlemonnier@...

OK. I appreciate you said exactly the same thing to someone else in another thread.


Would appreciate a link in the EU if anyone has one. I've got an old Noritake I was going to use until read this forum and the thickness issue.


many thanks Ted.

2013-12-11 by jammie

even though it shows the connections on the end it will come with a inline connection and not parallel connection as needed
those displays are the ones i use and have been using before ted got the small batch made with the correct connection
its the same connections 1-14 3 does not need to be connected
and you have to drill 4 holes
if in rack and 2 holes if in keyboard
i have fitted 20+ of that dispaly

OK! Makes sense now. I did read that post about the group buy but having only skimmed didn't realise it was actually a custom order. My bad.


I will try and persevere with this one then.


Thank you Jammie and Ted.

Re: [emax] RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

Jammie or Ted,

Could you clarify the following:


"its the same connections 1-14 3 does not need to be connected"


1) What happens to 15 and 16?


2) Is 3 the invertor?


3) do you need to solder each pin to the board?


"and you have to drill 4 holes"


1) How do you drill holes without compromising the tracks?


Many thanks.

There are exactly the number of pins needed on that end. The other two pins are typically for backlight, which OLED doesn't use / need.

2) Is 3 the invertor?

OLED has no viewing angle adjust, therefore needs no angle POT for adjustment - that is what pin 3 is for.

3) do you need to solder each pin to the board?

In a rack, yes, in keyboard no. ON the display side, all pins get soldered.

"and you have to drill 4 holes"


1) How do you drill holes without compromising the tracks?

You may have to - I haven't had to do this, but in that case, you take kynar / wire-wrap wire and connect two points if it's necessary.

Many thanks.

Re: [emax] RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-16 by kevinlemonnier@...

Hi Ted,

Thank you for your reply.

We managed to mount the new OLED and it worked for about 2 sec. Checked all points and no fuse issues - no shorts. Original display now not working either.

Something else to check?


Regards,

Kevin

RE: drop in replacement oled for emax rack?

2013-12-16 by kevinlemonnier@...

SUCCESS!

not sure why it didn't work the first time... in any case. now works.

also fitted the SCSI kit from Ted and fitted a new HD (80MB Apple) and everything appears to be in order.

still not sure what all the mods not he board were intended to do. have seen this on other users' pictures.

will take pics and test the entire unit tonight.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP GENTLEMEN!

Kevin

Kevin, have you any instructions and pix you could share along with part numbers of OLED used so some of us can give this replacement OLED
a go as well? Barring that, if Jammie or Ted have drop in replacements or know of any that would make things all the easier, cheers.

Windrum, there's a link to the photo in a previous reply.

This is the one I got (as Ted pointed out, the photo is not correct. the pins are on top instead of the side so it's a bit of a pain to install). I didn't want to go GREEN but there's a drop in replacement which is green. Also from the same seller. Good luck!
