proto board woes

proto board woes

2010-07-27 by n8

hello list.  got my board in the post yesterday and have put her in!  looks great btw!

however, i have had a few issues along the way.  when trying to load the patches i cannot get the "from tape" button to light up when pressed in tape dump enable mode.

also, my arp and key assign mode sections do not respond.  =(

all leds light up when i put on the 56k resistor and i checked the d/a adjustment looks good on both

anyone having any issues with their new klms?  not sure how to proceed...

seems like my old klm worked better but not the digital logic stuff for all the buttons on the programmer/bank section...

i get no noise out the unit now =(

any suggestions?  i dont have a oscope so havent done any other adjustments other than the ones above.

cheers!

nate

Nate,

Wouldn¹t it have been better to write to me directly? The board was working
before it left the lab and tested to within an inch of its life. Drop me a
line some time and I should be able to help you.

Cheers,
Andy

Don't forget Write Enable has to be turned on as well as Tape Enable to get the From Tape to light up.
