Ok, after a lot of searching to see if I can find the proper information I’m at a loss. My set up currently consists of a Vidiot, an audio eurorack system, a handful of Cadet/Castle (+Staircase) modules and now an Edirol v4. The big thing I feel I’m missing is things for shape generation (this rig …

post pics of both sides of your populated boards so we can look at them. There’s more than one way to set all this stuff up, but the way I’d do it is Vidiot composite out > C1 input. C1 output > monitor. C1 ribbon > ramps. C1 ribbon > VCO. TBC not needed. Loop not needed – wouldn’t that be a feed…

Good luck! Let us know how it works out.

Jonas’ method will work! But Vidiot also contains a dedicated sync output jack. This jack loops the input sync thru to it if the loopthru switch is ON. But if the loopthru is set to OFF, it outputs Vidiot’s native composite sync. So either… Vidiot Sync (or Composite or Luma) Out to Cadet 1 Syn…

FWIW, Vidiot’s sync generator, color encoder (output from colorizer), and VCOs all come from the Cadet schematics with only a few changes.

Well that narrows it down, I’ve tried all these ways and had no success, so I’ve definitely done something wrong during building. I’ll post some pictures of the modules once I get them out of the case and try to do something about it this weekend.

Ok so an update in case anyone else has similar problems, the U5 chip was not programmed. Apparently there is an additional unprogrammed chip included in the mouser cart for C1 that ended up on the board instead of the preprogrammed one. So now all is good, thanks for the help guys.

I ASS (it’s always something stupid), lol. I’ve had my share of things like that for sure.

I think I am having a different problem with syncing Cadet modules and the Vidiot. Syncing the Cadet to the Vidiot, Vidiot sync out > Cadet 1 input, works fine and everything is happy and stable. Syncing the Cadet to the Vidiot is a different story though. With Cadet 2 out > Vidiot input oscilla…

[image] Tan_Sat: ith the Vidiot or my Cadet modules? I’m not too worried si Are you power cycling both systems (Vidiot or Cadet) after every change to the desired sync setting? If you had a problem with NTSC/PAL being swapped it was only the first 10 units shipped and you would have got a n…

Ok, that’s something I don’t think would have tried. I’ll try that out hopefully tonight as well as take some pictures of the boards if that doesn’t work.
