Hey I was just wondering are there any non-cosmetic changes? I think there are but I can’t tell?
The only non-cosmetic changes are the use of the PCBs from the bulk order I ran, which differ from my prototype (green) PCBs in a few minor ways, which are documented here:
http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/wilba_mb_6582
The essential difference is fully “MB-SID V2” compliant hardware, an integrated CAN bus connecting master and slave Cores (PICs), and a reconfigurable PSU section allowing a single 9V SID supply or dual 9V/12V SID supplies. The control surface differs from the prototype as it now matches the MB-SID V2 feature set.
Hopefully the “MkII” doesn’t confuse anyone - it’s only “Mark 2” relative to me… It’s the exact same setup that people are building now from PCBs and parts bought through bulk orders and from SmashTV, and when the next run of PCBs is made, they also will be almost exactly the same (only a few missing tracks fixed and components moved).
