DMA ISSUE ON H4
Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
HDCS was used on the H4... The PCB breaks that line and from FDCS goes via the inverter to the 245 instead.. Its pretty simple.

Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
@Icky Awesome, thanks. Inverter is on order so I'll hopefully be able to get this done soon, though I am away for a few days from Sunday, so I may have to wait until the following weekend.

Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
Hoping my inverters will be there when I get home later today. I decided not to order pcbs for the DMA fix in the end, as apart from the inverters I have enough proto board around to make them. I guess we'll see later.

Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
:/
Got the patch board from exxos of course, but the 74LVC1G04 isn't in the BOM and I don't have one at hand.
I should've read up on all the threads before ordering the components.

Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
@troed yeah I did the same but it gave me an excuse to order more goodies at the same time as the 04.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
Good job you mentioned it...need to add 2x of those to my next order as well...troed wrote: Thu Jun 11, 2020 9:57 pm Got the patch board from exxos of course, but the 74LVC1G04 isn't in the BOM and I don't have one at hand.

Re: DMA ISSUE ON H4
Does anybody have a spare fix board by any chance? DoG was able to help me out for the first board but since I'm about to finish another one, I'd like to have a clean install and tought somebody might have an extra. I'll cover the costs (i'm in the UK) but rather not wait for a new batch of pcbs just for 1.
Let me know, thanks.
Let me know, thanks.
