+ | ===== 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. | ||
