BOM: (not final approved by me yet but it matches for sure 99%)
Issue: the Trimmer part number from mouser isn't correct,
the Case and Panel can be ordered with the PCB set
Note for builders:
- You need experience in soldering SMT Parts (around 350 SMT capacitors and 24 ICs in SOIC format).
- Tools are required: Soldering Station, Flux pen, magnifying Glasses, Oscilloscope, some pliers, tweezers, PC or Mac for installation of the boot loader and firmware
- Its preferred to have a bench power supply with current limiter for first test
- the programming is made by a ST-link programmer which is in the BOM (in case of DDRM builders - you can use the existing programmer)
Current identified Errors/Omissions/Errata:
Date | Location | Type | Identified issue | Resolution | related for development | affected PCB version | fixed Version |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 Aug. 2022 | BOM - Voices | ERROR | the Trimmer Mouser part number is invalid | Line 180: 652-3296X-1-103RLF | BOM update needed | -- | |
| 30. Aug 2022 | BOM - Mainboard | INFO | the 220uF caps on Mainboard are BI-POLAR - | respect the BOM partnumber | |||
| 07 Sep. 2022 | Controlboard | BUG | there's no Pinout described on the Controlboard for the OLED - | please read carefully the next INFO section |
Important INFOs before you start the assembling
Date | Location | Type | Issue | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13. Aug.2022 | Controlboard | INFO | minimize Slider/Potentiometer malfunctions Soldering Info | when you install the sliders, DO NOT solder all pins successively, solder only one pin at top and bottom and go to the next slider, when you have all installed - solder the next single pin at each slider. this have to respected on Potentiometers too. The Sliders and Potentiometers have lubrication inside which is sensitiv for heat and can be easily damaged (was happen on many Syncussion clones ) |
| 13. Aug.2022 | Controlboard | INFO | OLED Selection and R101/R32 - R100/R102 | when you have an OLED with the PINOUT: VCC-GND-SCL-SDA install R100 and R102 (0 Ohm - a bridge) (R32/R101 must be empty) in case you have an OLED with the PINOUT: GND-VCC-SCL-SDA install R101 and R32 (0 Ohm -a bridge) |
| 13. Aug. 2022 | All pcbs | INFO | some IC Sockets are not in the same direction, it´s an known issue that people install an IC backwards | Double and triple check every IC orientation - maybe 80% of all device malfunctions was occurred by this and can end in a very expensive repair |
| 13. Aug.2022 | Controlboard, PSU, Mainboard | INFO | the LEDs do not work | when you build the device - its important to start with the power supply - here you can test the LED orientation. never trust the vendor pinout for LEDs. normally is the long LED leg the positive end (anode) (but some circuits are powered from negative rails and GND is the positive end in this case- just saying - to explain it) |
Firmware Installation
The latest Firmware is on a separate page : ISE-NIN Manuals and Firmware
Instructions for Flashing
• Connect STM LINK to the Motherboard
• Turn ISENIN on
• Open STM Cube Programmer
• Select ST-Link, select connect
• Select erasing and programming button
• Browse select ISENIN CM4 Start programming
• Repeat this and select ISENIN CM7 Start programming
• Disconnect and restart ISENIN
Calibration
Instructions for Calibrating
• First, put all CENTER DETENT pot/sliders in center,
• Go into MENU, CALIBRATION, SLIDER POT CALIBRATION, run
• (after 30 min warmup), Go to MENU, CALIBRATION, VCO CALIBRATION, run.
• MENU, CALIBRATION, RESONANCE. Follow this from the Jupiter 8 manual Turning Trim1 for each voice (or see below):
or turn Trim TR1 until the self oscillation is off on each voice.
you can switch between the cards using the switch button on the mother board.
• MENU, FILTER, CALIBRATION, run
• MENU, CALIBRATION, CROSS MOD TRIM, connect USB out of ISENIN to computer, turn on ableton select ise-nin as input, put a tuner oh the channel and adjust it to 220hz for each voice, switch between voices with the switch button.
• MENU, CALIBRATION, CROSS MOD CALIBRATION, run
