Positional Add-On Board hooking Up Snare, plays as Tom3

Postby alexmcintosh » Fri Jun 14, 2013 6:18 pm

I've connected my 2 zone out drum (1 - Head Piezo & 1 - Rim Piezo), and connected them to the 40 pin ribbon onto wires 33 & 34 (Pin 33=Head Piezo, Pin 34=Rim Piezo); using Pin 15 as ground.

But...When I use it, it comes back as Tom3H & Tom3R (via MegaDrum Manager on PC).
The LCD Display (VU Meter) shows the TOP Row, 8th block from left as the Head hit. And, the bottom Row 8th block from left being the Rim hit.

(I have the ARM based Full kit with extended EEPROM with Positional Sensing addon board included)

Did I connect to the wrong Pins? As they they indicate Tom3? Or is there a setting I'm not familiar with? I used the 'MegaDrum kit - instruction manual.pdf.
There's another Schematic 'megadrum32 schematics pdf.zip', and another post "Just to make sure before i solder the 40pin connector.." that eludes to another way to hook up the ribbon cable, :roll:
So, where the heck can I find the correct schematic??

When I ship kits with Positional addon boards I connect everything together as they should be and shown in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2052 .
Take a picture of how you connected your boards and mark pins 1 and 40 on the picture.

Dmitri;
thanks for the reply. Attached is a photo of the Pin/Wires I connected to with the intent of connecting the Snare Drum. Also, attached is a picture of the board with the wires connected to it; the board and wires were assembled when they arrived.
DOH! I just see that I was off by a decade.. I had attached to wires 23 & 24, which makes sense for the results I'm seeing. I should've measured twice, cut once!

Did the same thing myself - twice! As you rightly point out 'measure twice.....'

koby drums - Triggera krigg/Bix - megadrum - Kontakt........... Samples from all and sundry.
