I'm assuming as there is what seems to be four or five different types of LEDs on the board, you are using recycled ones? Have you double checked the polarity? There seems to be insufficient solder on a lot of the components so I'd start there.

They're all recycled LED's. I thought I could get away with it, because I had them working on the breadboard. I did end up swapping one out, so perhaps it is an issue with the LED's.

I'll try adding more solder as well; I've got plenty on the underside of the board, but it can't hurt to be safe.

I appreciate the tips!

Do you mean the atmega chip on the arduino or the 8-pin opto-isolator on the shield?

Hey everybody,

I'm working on an Arduinoboy using the a fabricated "shieldboy" (http://victimcache.com/hardware/shieldboy/), and I've run into a problem.

I've soldered all the components in, but I've got nothing. I'm powering via a DMG-07 cable with a jumper between GB and PWR. I've also tried the 9v adapter on the arduino, and I get power to the arduino and VERY OCCASIONALLY the middle LED flashes a few times as it's first powered on. Beyond that, I get nothing from the arduinoboy.

Anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be really appreciated!

Why does almost everyone add another jack? I prosound the stock one and it sounds fine

Two jacks are actually really helpful! If you connect your prosound post-pot, then the stock headphone jack still has built-in volume control. It can also function as a sort of headphone monitor jack.

Hey guys, I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but this discussion was sort of derailing a trading post thread a little bit ago, and I think it's a pretty interesting topic. What's everybody's opinion about composition and production of electronic music on physical hardware as opposed to software?

I feel like it's a more complex issue than just Price + Ease Of Use vs. Genuine Sound + Kitsch Value. For example, I compose and produce some of my music via samples of my hardware in Ableton, and at other times I'll go through the whole process with the physical hardware. I've found that these two styles of production give me dramatically different results. My theory is that the interface and built-in limitations of my hardware heavily color the choices I make while producing a song, and that is perhaps more valuable than any kind of perceived difference in sound.

What's everybody's thoughts?

Haha, was very suspicious of this post at first. I mistook it for a donation page or some such thing tongue

You might want to be extra descriptive with your thread titles, especially in Trading Post.
Good stuff though, best of luck!

The DR line of drum machines were made alongside the more well known series of Dr. Samples. SP-202 = DR-202, SP-303 = DR-303, and so forth. They were intended as affordable alternatives to the more expensive portable drum machine/samplers of their time, and they were super popular for it. If you're looking for something reminiscent of the abstract hip-hop of the early 2000's these were a pretty big deal in that scene.

Did you remember to reconnect the ribbon cable that joins the front and back PCB? Was that cable damaged in some way?

Sometimes, in my darker moments, I wonder if the ultimate fate of every internet forum is to be incorporated into the 4chan-esque cesspit of anger.
