| ===== Testing the USB, Midi, Sync, CV and Audio Connections ===== |
| |
| ==== Testing the USB ==== |
| - Power the IO board, but don't connect it to the main board |
| - Plug in the USB into a computer. |
| * If you are using Windows, The computer should detect a "Serial <-> USB" chip and request a driver. |
| * If you are using OSX or Linux, .... WorkOnMe |
| - Download the [[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/FT232-FT245Drivers.htm#VCP|driver from FTDI]]. (a mirror for the Windows XP/2k driver is on this site here: {{x0x:vcp_usb_driver_r9052154.zip}}) Make sure to grab the VCP driver. Install it. Verify that a new COM port is created (under Windows, look under hardware control panel) |
| |
| ==== Testing everything else ==== |
| |
| Everything else should just work. But if you are having problems, here are some detailed testing instructions. |
| |
| === Midi and Din Sync === |
| |
| WorkOnMe |
| |
| === Audio === |
| |
| Audio testing is simple. Plug a jack into your x0x0b0x, and the other jack into your mixer, or an amplifier, and away you go. One (or both) jacks don't work, it is almost surely a problem with either the Headphone amplifier or the Mixer section. |
| |
| === CV and Gate === |
| |
| Connect your multimeter to the tip of the CV jack, and ground to the sleeve. Set the x0xb0x to KeyboardMode, and press the lower C key. You should see 2 Volts DC(?). Press the upper C key, and you should see 3 Volts DC(?). |
| |
| For the gate, do the same, and press any note key. You should see 5V DC when pressed, and 0V DC when released. |
