nitro: I may just send it to you. And include the Gowin cart from the other thread.
I don't recall the device ever being recognized by any computer in any way. It has never worked - except for the power indicator lighting up.
I programmed the AVR using this thing I finagled:
The software programmed it successfully and was able to verify.
I can confirm the type of FTDI chip when I get home.

Re: alternate boot screens on gameboy - I thought this wasn't possible? (10 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
just a quick postscript, I finally opened up the cart to figure out if I could use the plastic for anything, and the answer is, "not without significant cutting of one or the other".
The power switch cutout is larger than on a standard cart (and at an angle). The screw holes line up, but the bump in the back shell is bigger for some reason so it doesn't fit as well as it could.
Kindof a bummer, because these carts are pretty, and a whole slew of them recently appeared on eBay.

What if I just hate having useless half-finished projects lying around?

I don't think I've used any programs other than LSDJ, Digital Performer and Audacity to make music in years. I guess that makes those my favorites!

Topic: I'll pay you to fix my Zeigler-style programmer! (35 replies, posted in Trading Post)
Before I got an amazing and awesomerad super cool programmer from Jazzmarazz, I bought a blank PCB from someone else way rad and tried to build a programmer myself. It looks like this.
It does not work. It gets power, but no computer will recognize it. I suspect that the problem is my soldering on the SMD FTDI chip, which I did by hand with an iron and solder that probably weren't fine enough for the job. Maybe I burned out the chip! Dunno!
I'm going to be doing a lot of cart reprogramming in the coming months, and only having one programmer kinda gives me the willies; I'd really love to have a backup. I also have more money than time right now, so I'd REALLY love to pay someone with some experience in this stuff to troubleshoot the damn thing for me.
So - have you built this project before? Are you super comfortable with SMD work? Have you done a lot of ATMEL or FTDI projects before? Let me know why you think you're the right person to fix this guy for me, and once I find the right person I will:
1. send the programmer and some extra parts I have (extra ATMEL chip, extra FTDI chips although the moisture sensor that comes with them is way past limits if that even matters, maybe other parts)
2. also include some cool stickers and junk
3. pay shipping both ways
4. pay you for your time and any parts needed if you can fix it, and also let you keep the spare parts (except maybe the ATMEL chip)
5. if you can't fix it I'll still probably throw you a few bucks, let you keep the stickers, and pay to send it on to another person who thinks they can fix it
So whaddya think? PM me if you're interested!

I was at my local thrift store on my lunch break today and there was a very clean looking clear GBP for $15. Not an amazing wow geez! price, but definitely a good one. I can't find any on ebay Buy It Now for less than $30.
If someone wants it, let me know and I'll go back to the store today, test it out and buy it if the screen and battery contacts are good. I could get it to you for $20 ish CONUS.
Bonus points if you also want to buy something from my sale thread.

Topic: Edirol V-4 warmup time? (2 replies, posted in Motion Graphics)
The Edirol V-4 is finally starting to drift downward in price, so I nabbed one to replace my V-1. I love it, but it has a weird issue where it requires a few minutes of warmup time. The behavior is very consistent, I turn it on and everything is basically static, that slowly turns into what looks like normal video with a sync problem and weird color on the left channel. Then I reboot the mixer and it works perfectly, for hours and hours.
Anybody else every have this issue? I haven't opened it up or anything, but my only working theory is that there's some kind of capacitor powering the processing board(s) and it's fucked up so it's charging slowly and it takes awhile for the voltage to ramp up. Anybody every opened one of these suckers up?
