| + | ===== Boards ===== | ||
| All these boards (and schematics) were created with the free version of [[http://www.cadsoft.de/|EagleCAD]]. Some designs have been marked up with some custom layers requires for [[http://www.batchpcb.com/|BatchPCB]] (specifically the silk-screening process). I'm always open to ideas if you know how to make the designs better! Otherwise, they are here for the taking to do with as you please. I only ask that you give credit where credit is due if you plan on making your own modifications. This is just a request, however, and isn't required :) | All these boards (and schematics) were created with the free version of [[http://www.cadsoft.de/|EagleCAD]].

| - | ==C64 Optimized PSU== | + | ==== C64 Optimized PSU ==== |
| This board is a re-creation of the power section of the [[http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_8xsid_c64_psu_optimized.pdf|C64 Optimized PSU]] schematic from ucapps. The nice thing is that it's quite tiny, although the regulator may tend to get hot my original design didn't account for adding a heatsink. For small setups, though, it should work. | This board is a re-creation of the power section of the [[http://ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_8xsid_c64_psu_optimized.pdf|C64 Optimized PSU]] schematic from ucapps.

| - | ==BankStick 7-1== | + | ==== BankStick 7-1 ==== |
| I built this board partly because I was having trouble building it on a prototype board. I based it off of the BankStick x8 schematic available from ucapps with minor modifications. I call it 7-1 because 7 chips can be placed on the board itself, with an optional header to make it possible to hook up an external BankStick. | I built this board partly because I was having trouble building it on a prototype board.

| - | ==SID-PWR== | + | ===== Misc ===== |
| - | + | ||
| - | This is a work-in-progress. I wanted to build a power supply that could efficiently power my MidiBox SID and did NOT use a C64 power supply. No offense to them as they work well but they are next to impossible to get into if a fuse blows, etc. While I may not be able to make a better power supply, I can make one that I can at least work on :) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | My design basically uses a center-tapped 10V transformer so that I can use it to generate 10V and 5V AC. Each half is converted to DC and regulated, but I also added pico-fuses and some additional caps. Some of the cap choices were black magic voodoo, I'll admit, but I figure more caps can't hurt (apart from adding a bit more resistance). | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | I have not tested this board yet (parts are in the mail so I can build it on a protoboard) so we'll see how it goes ;) I'm a bit worried about the headroom needed for the 7805. 5 * 1.414 = 7.07 which should be about enough. If it doesn't work, I'll have to go to a 12VCT transformer, which might be tolerable since I'm planning on using heatsinks. | + | |
| - | More information about this board can be found in [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,12695.15.html|this]] forum post. | + | * [[gm5x5x5_-_allied_parts_list|GM5x5x5 Allied Electronics Parts List]] |
| - | ==ModMatrix== | ||
| - | This is another situation where I figured it would be easier to have a board printed than try to wire something up on a protoboard. This board is for the Modulation Matrix part of the MidiBox-SID [[http://ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_fp.html|control surface]]. At the time of this writing, I have not yet had this board printed as I'm waiting to take more measurements, settle on a front-panel design, etc. While it's untested, you can find the board layouts, schematic, and more info in [[http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,12723.0.html|this]] post. | ||
