MEga Drum Help!

Postby dbreaston » Wed Nov 19, 2008 12:26 am

I recieved my kit yesterday and started to put my megadrum together. I got the PCB together hooked up the lcd and wualllah. I Had success so I unplugged my usb from the back of the pcb. The next time I plugged it in I got blank boxes. I am not very good at reading schematics so when it came to the keyboard I had a hard time wiring it up. I could use alittle help and please be more specific than pointing me to the schematic as I said before it doesn't seem to be helping.
As it stands now I have c1 chained to all 4 buttons and then I have the other 4 in there respective homes according to the diagram. Pleas help me in getting this problem resolved I really ancious to see what all the hype has been about.

Is it a kit with 3 yellow coloured boards?

How have you managed to solder everything together and yet have problems with the keyboard wiring, the simplest part of MegaDrum?

My guess is that you accidentally entered bootloader and erased MegaDrum firmware.

Kewl,

I figured it out and I just updated the firmware and I am Up and running. I did get the keyboard right also. It was just weird how all of this happened. Now onto stage 3 the outputs...
