[2019-12-01 19:49:48 CET] * rune joined [2019-12-01 19:53:09 CET] * heinz joined [2019-12-01 19:53:21 CET] Hi Dave [2019-12-01 19:53:58 CET] * heinz quit (CGI:IRC 0.5.12) [2019-12-01 19:54:22 CET] * heinz joined [2019-12-01 19:56:39 CET] Hello heinz [2019-12-01 19:56:48 CET] Ws [2019-12-01 19:57:06 CET] Was fixing the mess I made of the tracks in Kicad [2019-12-01 19:57:35 CET] I think my problem is with Z5-6/z7-8 tracks 20/21 [2019-12-01 19:57:53 CET] IS there any cuts needed for anything here [2019-12-01 20:03:02 CET] Hello Dave, I also think thaat z7-8 is not correct. [2019-12-01 20:03:32 CET] Id agree, but Ine checked until Im blue in the face.Cant see anything [2019-12-01 20:03:49 CET] I had the same problem and the reason was the missing power at Z30. [2019-12-01 20:04:00 CET] On my schema in Kicad, I had 20/21 connected to 21/20 [2019-12-01 20:04:17 CET] but I may have done that after you pointed out the error [2019-12-01 20:04:29 CET] I have power and ground to Z30 [2019-12-01 20:04:37 CET] Changed the IC 3 times [2019-12-01 20:05:23 CET] What do you mean with 20/21 to 21/20? [2019-12-01 20:05:56 CET] Z7/20 went to z5/21 z7/21 went to z5/20 [2019-12-01 20:06:08 CET] But that may have been an error intorduced later. [2019-12-01 20:06:16 CET] On my board its 20-20 21-21 [2019-12-01 20:06:44 CET] Are any tracks needing cut on Z506 or 7-8 [2019-12-01 20:07:20 CET] ok, 20-20. Then check 20Z7 to 2Z30 [2019-12-01 20:08:04 CET] And 21Z7 to 1Z30. [2019-12-01 20:08:40 CET] Just checked continuity - all OK [2019-12-01 20:09:12 CET] I will have a look to my board for cuts. Wait. [2019-12-01 20:11:10 CET] No cuts. Did you connect 19Z5 with GND? [2019-12-01 20:11:32 CET] yes [2019-12-01 20:11:53 CET] Let us have a look to 18Z5. [2019-12-01 20:12:03 CET] Where does it go? [2019-12-01 20:12:32 CET] to 1Z24? [2019-12-01 20:12:39 CET] z23/4 [2019-12-01 20:13:15 CET] Yes, it is the same. [2019-12-01 20:13:41 CET] then z24/1 [2019-12-01 20:14:37 CET] Its very strange. I need to triple check the componnents [2019-12-01 20:15:26 CET] There was a missing connection Z27/10 to Z24/13. [2019-12-01 20:15:41 CET] sorry, to Z27/13 [2019-12-01 20:16:19 CET] But my board runs also whithout this connection.- [2019-12-01 20:16:48 CET] I have connected it. [2019-12-01 20:17:32 CET] hold on,,,,, [2019-12-01 20:18:20 CET] I may have connected on wrong side [2019-12-01 20:18:54 CET] at Z27? [2019-12-01 20:19:07 CET] ive connected pin 1 an pin4 [2019-12-01 20:20:27 CET] even Z27/1 and Z27/4 should be connected to +5V. [2019-12-01 20:20:58 CET] Yes it is. So I need another fron 10 to 13? [2019-12-01 20:21:24 CET] Z27/4 was GND before, this is wrong. No SAVE in this case. [2019-12-01 20:22:04 CET] Yes, but I did not have one and it works. But there should be a connection. Definitely. [2019-12-01 20:22:53 CET] No SAVE wouldnt cause the corrupt characters? [2019-12-01 20:23:14 CET] No. No SAVE was a different problem. [2019-12-01 20:23:54 CET] Are you sure its 10-13? The scvhema seems to show 9-13 [2019-12-01 20:24:40 CET] no, got the wrong IC [2019-12-01 20:25:05 CET] Z27=LS74 [2019-12-01 20:26:40 CET] OK, my pin 10 isnt connected. I'll do that and see how it goes [2019-12-01 20:27:03 CET] I think there will be no difference as before. [2019-12-01 20:27:14 CET] But it should be connected. [2019-12-01 20:27:17 CET] Need to wait until tomorrow though. Too dark and cold [2019-12-01 20:27:33 CET] Should we continue? [2019-12-01 20:27:45 CET] yes, talk about USB scopes [2019-12-01 20:28:15 CET] I'll send a pic of the back of my board. Maybe you will spot what I cant [2019-12-01 20:28:15 CET] * heinz quit (CGI:IRC (EOF)) [2019-12-01 20:28:23 CET] * heinz joined [2019-12-01 20:28:41 CET] I had a problem. Wrong key. [2019-12-01 20:28:55 CET] Are you there? [2019-12-01 20:28:55 CET] Are you on the Raspi? [2019-12-01 20:29:04 CET] No, I am on PC. [2019-12-01 20:29:23 CET] Could we continue with the board or is it to cold? [2019-12-01 20:29:41 CET] Take the board and go in a heated room. [2019-12-01 20:29:52 CET] Its too cold for me to go make any changes. Im happy to test/check anything you suggest [2019-12-01 20:30:05 CET] Changes are not needed. [2019-12-01 20:30:09 CET] Im in a heated room. The soldering iron is in my shed [2019-12-01 20:30:20 CET] Just measuremants for connection. tn [2019-12-01 20:30:28 CET] Or a good magnifier glass. [2019-12-01 20:30:31 CET] I have a multimeter [2019-12-01 20:30:38 CET] This is enough. [2019-12-01 20:30:47 CET] Are you in a warm room now? [2019-12-01 20:30:47 CET] The magnifying glass is out oin the shed too [2019-12-01 20:30:52 CET] Yes [2019-12-01 20:31:12 CET] Firsat let us have a look onto the board for cuts. [2019-12-01 20:31:27 CET] ok [2019-12-01 20:31:30 CET] Starting at the top side from left to right. [2019-12-01 20:31:52 CET] I have two cuts left of Z3-4. [2019-12-01 20:32:18 CET] OK, I have 1 [2019-12-01 20:32:41 CET] Going to the ROM or to the Z3-4? [2019-12-01 20:33:10 CET] At Pin 19 A10, which I now soldered to the GND [2019-12-01 20:33:55 CET] Nothing else cut [2019-12-01 20:34:22 CET] I have a second one coming from the ROM. [2019-12-01 20:34:45 CET] What track? [2019-12-01 20:34:46 CET] Might be you have that at another oplace. [2019-12-01 20:34:51 CET] place [2019-12-01 20:35:15 CET] Next cut left of Z18 [2019-12-01 20:36:49 CET] No, I dont see a cut there [2019-12-01 20:37:35 CET] I will take your picture of the board and mark all of my cuts. Then you can track them and compare with your cuts. [2019-12-01 20:38:06 CET] Thats a great idea. I only have 2 cuts on my board. Cant see second one just now [2019-12-01 20:38:15 CET] Because you could have them at a different place - or forgotten. [2019-12-01 20:38:26 CET] I will think forgotten [2019-12-01 20:38:34 CET] Will do it tomorrow. [2019-12-01 20:38:50 CET] You were aksing for the dig scoppe. [2019-12-01 20:38:54 CET] scope [2019-12-01 20:39:18 CET] there is no need to use it for our repair. [2019-12-01 20:39:48 CET] You spoke about 110 GBP. [2019-12-01 20:39:56 CET] What typeß [2019-12-01 20:40:01 CET] type? [2019-12-01 20:40:51 CET] Hello? [2019-12-01 20:41:13 CET] Hello I was looking for the MODs image [2019-12-01 20:41:48 CET] Yes, I am thinking about a new scope. The one I have is good, but too big and I need to use it in the shed. [2019-12-01 20:41:59 CET] I will taake the ACE_pcb_topbottom.jpg [2019-12-01 20:42:13 CET] So I was thinking of a USB one where the PC screen diplays the traces [2019-12-01 20:42:18 CET] topbot.png [2019-12-01 20:42:25 CET] Thanks a lot [2019-12-01 20:42:43 CET] I'll send you two links to two scopes I was thinking about. [2019-12-01 20:43:12 CET] I found a DSO212 scope. Not sure if its the later version of yours. Send that link already [2019-12-01 20:43:30 CET] I will have a look to them tomorrow. Your board will run!! I am sure. [2019-12-01 20:43:48 CET] How much isd the DSO212? [2019-12-01 20:44:21 CET] 95.00 roughly [2019-12-01 20:44:31 CET] I saw it at 118.00 [2019-12-01 20:44:44 CET] About 54.00 from China [2019-12-01 20:44:51 CET] It pays to shop around [2019-12-01 20:45:10 CET] Found it on amazon. 2 channels, but only 1MHz? [2019-12-01 20:45:35 CET] Did you get the russian PCB? [2019-12-01 20:45:48 CET] So not an upgrade... [2019-12-01 20:45:57 CET] Yes, I got the Russian board. [2019-12-01 20:46:26 CET] Good, The RAM is easily obtained. [2019-12-01 20:46:42 CET] I need to get a bundle of sockets [2019-12-01 20:46:59 CET] My scope is DSO203. [2019-12-01 20:47:21 CET] The Russian board has tweo errors: [2019-12-01 20:47:27 CET] Is it the same make as that DSO 212? [2019-12-01 20:47:37 CET] a) designed for the 2532 ROM. [2019-12-01 20:48:08 CET] b) The bottom key line is not ok. 3 cuts needed. [2019-12-01 20:48:25 CET] A converter needed. Have you started to build it? [2019-12-01 20:48:31 CET] Concerning the DSO212 I will have a closer look. [2019-12-01 20:48:50 CET] Don't think that it is an upgrade. [2019-12-01 20:49:02 CET] If its only 1 MHz, consider it eliminated. The other two links are 20 MHz and 10 MHz [2019-12-01 20:49:21 CET] 20MHz? [2019-12-01 20:49:30 CET] So it says on the spec [2019-12-01 20:49:49 CET] I will look into the specification. [2019-12-01 20:49:51 CET] HANTEK Portable PC Based USB 2CH Digital Oscilloscope 20M Hz 48M Sa/s 1M Byte/CH [2019-12-01 20:49:57 CET] Let us stop for today. [2019-12-01 20:50:11 CET] OK, you have given me lots to think about [2019-12-01 20:50:12 CET] We have 1st of Advent [2019-12-01 20:50:15 CET] Thanks [2019-12-01 20:50:19 CET] bye. [2019-12-01 20:50:23 CET] We dont :( [2019-12-01 20:50:23 CET] Next week? [2019-12-01 20:50:26 CET] Bye [2019-12-01 20:50:35 CET] yes, pls send photo ofg cuts [2019-12-01 20:50:38 CET] BYe [2019-12-01 20:50:44 CET] will do it.
