The module is purely a clock modifier, it's got no audio processing/filtering or otherwise. One pulse in and several pulses out... The transistors in this brand of module are typically just the clock/signal in/out buffers to ensure that control volts and gates/clocks are a decent 0-5v level...

The PIC based unit is made by Doepfer in Germany, they make a whole range of euro synth modular stuff. The item in question is the A160-5 (or A-160-5) clock multiplier/Ratchet controller. There are no schematics (they never provide them), but there's nothing complex about the minimal components...

Hi All, I was asked by a friend if i can build him a clock multiplier circuit for his euro-modular synthesis stuff. I said "sure, it shouldn't be too hard"....and that was the beginning of my failure lol ;-) On the commercial multiplier modules, they accept an input clock anywhere from 0.1hz...

Oh, yes, you're right...for some reason i was thinking 40X2 had double (or more) memory capacity of the 28X2. Oh well, good to know. Now i odn't have to build up a 40X2 based controller ;-) Thanks again.

The $00/$FF problem isn't a major problem for now, just something to keep an eye on when we try frames that are almost full of $FF data. ( i know it'll bite us later). For now we can continue with simple frames/animations to keep debugging the next step of adding more animation frames etc. (i...

Thanks for that, i was probably thinking about the X1 versus X2 parts, it's been a long time ;-)

Yes, they're the versions i'm still using.

I'm working on building a new setup. Instead of using 2 of: 28X2's, i'll use 2 of: 40X2's to offer more memory options.

I hope this isn't blasphemy, because i love the simplicity of programming in BASIC languages (i can't program in C/C+ or whatever to save myself lol). But, *COULD* the picaxe kernal become re-ported to work inside a much faster (Atmel) device to become speed-comparable to Arduino projects? I...

Hi Erco, 4 years later, and i'm looking to buy some of these 4pin sensors to tinker with. Better late than never ;-) I notice the most popular ones these days (2019) are only 3 pin, which use an LM393 (comparitor) instead of a 555 oscillator to drive the IR driver LED. Maybe these aren't as...

Yep, this is a great (powerful) program, I stumbled across it quite some years ago, I'm certain it was waay before microsoft got their paws on it ;-)

That's a good point, certainly worth trying to eliminate what's really going on. FYI: i have wired the IDC16 in a unique way so that the D.0 to D.7 bits are all wired along 1 row of the IDC16 connector. The opposite row of the IDC16 has 4 GND's, 2x5v's and 2x 3.3v's. This means that EVERY D.x...

No probs, i'll keep dabbling and try to note some kind of common pattern that makes the problem arise. On a side note, i think i mentioned this earlier in this thread (or another of my threads), but my 2 encoders are mounted in a plastic enclosure along with 4 analog pots. The 4 pots are...

Hmmmm, sadly today i discovered the full code (post #44) is also buggy, where A and B sometimes affect each other. I only noticed it when i added in the code section from above (post #45), but as i managed to rem out every line of post #45, i noticed the original main code still bugs out after...

Interesting, i wonder if the problem occurs in Win10 'Home' as well as 'Pro'? or do we simply have to rollback a few updates until we find a faster version to run PE correctly. It'd be nice if we can get the Win10 users to provide their version/build number of Win10, so i can find a definite...
