Finally I got my 10 MHz Crystal and hooked up the SoundGin again... However it is still not working, This time it sounds more like a Geiger counter with random...
... OK, that gits the amp off the hook. ... And if the crystal is vibrating too slow, do you think the SoundGin's output would sound like random clicks? ... A...
... Rusty, I think you are on to something here... I do have a white breadboard and it's probably worth a try using a protoboard and soldering everything in...
I've been working with a friend of mine exploring an easy way to have the Parallax Basic Stamp II "talk" using the Soundgin. The result is this web site: ...
... I soldered it up on a protoboard and the result is the same... I'm going to contact the BotShop where I bought the chip and see if I can get another one......
... I contacted the bot shop (http://www.thebotshop.com/) and they are sending me a new chip... Just to be sure I don't screw anything else up, I also ordered...
Has anyone else run into this? I've downloaded the console software to my computer and to my wife's work computer several times now and get the same result -...
Problem solved - I increased the resolution a tic. Man, I've got to take a computer class. Or is "Computing for Electronic Engineers" just too wrong? Chub...
... Funny, I thought EE's **DESIGNED** the computers? And they used computers to do that job too and to get that degree too. I know I had to way, way back in...
Yeah, I build 'em, but I don't use them very well! My EE gets me into *serious* trouble. My extra license gets me out! Chub - KG9MS ... computers ... ...
While I'm waiting for the development board and IC to come, I thought I'd see if anyone else was doing the same thing. The plan here is to use the development...
I was wondering if I could tie the Rx and Tx lines together and use one pin on the BSII to communicate with the soundgin..? Or do I have to use one for Tx and...
... one ... use ... thats ... The Tx and Rx lines are connected to an internal hardware serial port. So, no. They cannot be connected together. Scott Savage...
Hi, I've just seen on retrothing.com blog a review of the soundgin chip. As a midibox SID addicted, I'm happy when I see custom sound chip 'with a soul'. I...
... Not a lot. I wrote the firmware for both chips and they share a lot of functionality including the parts that do the voice. The primary difference is in...
I got a new replacement chip since I could not get the old one to work and I ordered a SoundGin dev board to go with it just to be safe... ;-) I haven't tried...
... I will take a look at it when it gets here. Just FYI, We have a 100% Q.A. That is, all the chips are tested before they are shipped. So I am interested...
One problem I had was that I could not get a 10Mhz crystal and it turned out that the resonator I used was a Series resonator. So it's not impossible that I...
Is there any easy way of recording the output from my SoundGin dev board to the computer so I can make mp3's ? Can I hook the speaker output to the Line-in on...
I haven't set up my development board yet, but I'll be doing the same thing you are - using the post-filter output to drive another device. The LM386 audio amp...
Oh, one more thing - don't use the speaker output of the development board to drive your sound card! Anyone have the output level spec for the SoundGin? Chub...
... Ah.. found it by diligently digging through the docs.. (I know, I know, RTFM!) :) So, in answer to the questions: 9600 when the pin is floating. ... Vern ...
Hello, I have a question about the Soundgin Dev Board. From the schematics, it appears that the CTS control line is not hooked up to the MAX232 or the DB9...
Ok, I've been experimenting with this all night with no success. Maybe someone can tell me what I am doing wrong. :( Setup: Soundgin board GND to Basic Stamp...
... The output is a TTL level PWM signal with a 128khz frequency. Low = 0 Volts. High = 5 volts. 50% duty cycle = silence. Sound is made my varying the duty...
