old gerber version and current firmware #4

Hi Quinie,

I've built a version of your module a while back (pcbs version 3) and it seemed to work fine. Now, with the same PCBs I had left over, I built two more, but they seem to be both having the same issue (which makes me think its software related): Generally it works, but the accent outputs are always mapped to the alternative mode (where it outputs the clock and not the individual accents). When i hold down the settings button I can get into the settings menu, but changing the pots does not correctly update the settings the way it should from what I've seen in mutable tutorials.

Has there been a change in pinout or something that causes mismatch with old PCBs when using the current version of the firmware (found on your blog page)? Not entirely sure it might be a hardware issue but both units I built behave more or less the same which is weird

Hi Patrick,

sorry for the late responds. I have been a bit offline. I had some troubles with my health but it's getting better.

I had a email from someone a few weeks ago about a resistor value that is differently from th MI orginal. I haven't check it but it is related to the pots. I believe it's R34 but still have to dive into it.

This would cause the pot's not having there full range. You can test it by using a external voltage on the inputs. This might help you out reaching the correct settings.

When my health is a little better and when I'm up for it I will dive into this myself.

Hi Patrick,

As for you troubles with Nanogrids,

https://www.quinie.nl/nanogris-big-bom-mistake-update-for-better-range-on-pots/ replace R31 to a 10k value.

Hope this will help Greets Quinie
