Hi at all!

Because i'm very ill, the Beepblaster is free for non commercial use!
Please have a look on my first Post.

best regards
Paddy

it would be nice if the stereo support could run on one chip, maybe a larger avr chip ?

I did a thing...

Serge if I send you the Eagle files can you look at this and let me know if there's anything obviously wrong? First time PCB maker 🤣.

- Evan

Hi Evan,
feel free to send me PM, i will try to help, but normally I use kicad, not eagle,
so my help may be limited to general comments.

I can already comment based on the screenshot :
I see you use the same ceramic resonator, shared for both cpu's, this can work fine.
But ceramic resonators are not that accurate (typically about 5000ppm, 0.5%),
and MIDI allows for a maximum of 1% tolerance on the clock frequency.
Crystals would be more accurate (typically 30ppm), but then you'd also need startup caps.

Layout wise it looks ok, i like the 'stereo' looks 😀 curious to see the other side.
Maybe you can upload screenshots of both sides of your board and also pdf of your schematic to vogons.
To avoid confusion though, it may be better to start a separate thread, and reference to ulfenknulfens thread as inspiration source ?

Looking forward to your further adventures !
Serge

Hi Community!

The development of the Beepblaster 2.0 (Stereo with Beepmode) is ongoing and will be published here.
Of course I'll test it beforehand, so it will take a while.
Stay tuned.

best regards
Paddy

Superb, very curious to see further evolution
if you'd use a larger cpu, maybe it can also have more voices ?

Hi! What fuses should be set to?
I've loaded *.hex into the programmer software, but fuses seem to be off, configured for internal RC with /8 clock divider enabled. And I see 16 MHz Xtal on the board.
Should fuses and firmware be the same on both MCUs?

Hello Fagear.

Thanks for your Question.

Both Chips with same Firmware, and you can use e.g. these Fuses:

hello my name is frank and i recently became aware of the beep blaster.

I wanted to build it, but I have two questions about it

in the partlist is r10 without a value

is it then 100 ohms? or what value is used here?

Is the socket J1 2x13 R 2.0 mm?

The card sounds great, I'm looking forward to a real reproduction.

Cheers

Hello Frank.
Thanks for asking.

Beepblaster 1 (mono) has no R10. Just Beepblaster 2.0 has it, and it is in the Partlist 😀.
Socket is 2.54mm

best regards and have fun
Paddy
