We've got numbers over here?
Never knew that...

Yup. Numbers are people too.


Anyway, Flit, try again now. I've tweaked the values a bit.

Make it directly interface LSDj/Nanoloop. If it's the ultimate sync solution, what's the sense in requiring another device to sync a Gameboy? That would need some level shifting to +5V signal levelling though. (Same for sync24, and even MIDI if you want to adhere very strictly to the standard.)

However, I think if you wanted something that is mostly a "sync hub" I think it would be more sensible to use an 8-bit microcontroller instead of an RPi. The key point is to have a lot of hardware UART.

Try now...
I don't have any iDevice, so I can't confirm that it works, but it should.

Note to self, pitched sampled audio using CH3 and timer for reload.

LittleFM won't help for anything that's not LSDj anyway. At least not for the time being. Sorry.

This makes me think. If you're only ever using a flash cartridge like the Everdrive, you might consider ditching the slot entirely and soldering wires from the holes to the cartridge pins. Then you could store the cartridge PCB inside the unit itself. Not sure if there's enough space to do this properly and if you can prepare external access to the SD card/USB connector, but perhaps a method worth considering.

I missed that comment. That comment is moved out of sight too now. If people want to ask for female chip artists, that's ok IMO, but the comment you left would just have derailed the thread. Not everyone gets (or if they do, appreciates) the sarcasm.

No. There was an actual spammer posting in this thread, posting links to bed bug removal services.

If you want something knobby, maybe you should build one of these?

Away with the bed bug spam, and the posts commenting on it for good measure.

It relies on the GB program to send data formatted as MIDI. There's probably no software today that can actually make use of this functionality. (Trash80's modded LSDj version has a different protocol.) If you wanted to try if it works, I guess you could connect one NL adapter in MIDI out mode to another NL adapter in MIDI in, or an Arduinoboy in MIDI mode to an NL adapter in MIDI in mode to form a loopback.

It's actually dead easy as long as you've got the right tools. Look up drag soldering.  You'll need a fine, flat solder tip and solder paste but it's really quite simple.

If you look on youtube you can see the technique demonstrated.

That only works when you're soldering the chip to the PCB. When building this type of cartridge, the chip has a different pinout, and sometimes a different package, so what you typically need to do is to connect the chip with wires. See the pdf! This is doable, but requires a firm hand, a good iron, and preferably a microscope.
