In this Yocto several of the distances/spacers used to screw the PCB to the front of the machine had been broken off. Some of them were loose when I got the case and some of them broke off due to stress when screwing them in. Here I glue these back using epoxy glue
On the Yocto v1.0 there is no option to install a power switch. So in this video I show how to install it by cutting & removing a trace and connecting the switch in series with that cut. Please verify with a multimeter that there is no connection between the center pin of the connector…
I finished the IO board and connected it to the main board and it powered up! Unfortunately the sequencer buttons did not work properly so I could not initalize the EEPROM memory, more about that in a later post. Video and images after the click!
This section was quite small and was quickly assembled without any issues. I am however starting to think that there will be some horrible issues when I finalize the unit. But that is a problem for another day. Video in the post!
Things are coming along nicely, apart from the fact that my arm is now covered with ink from a pen which I forgot to recap while soldering the Cow Bell. Check out the video in the post!
So I moved in July if 2017 and after that I haven’t really done anything with the Yocto unfortunately. I have done some work on restoring a Korg Polysix with various issues, but that will be a separate post. But now I have actually managed to get my thumb out of my ass to finish…
Things are progressing slowly. I am currently quite busy with work and searching for a new apartment and preparing for moving so I haven’t relly had the time/energy to do any soldering for a while. I finished the Rim Shot section a couple of weeks ago but I actually forgot to upload the video, but…
Guess I better get going sorting the rest of the components, working on the Rimshot section. Instead of sorting to baggies I decided to just tape the components to a piece of paper (using paper tape). Saw someone suggest it on a forum and it actually feels much more organized. Will waste less plastic also.…
