Pyxis not working

Hi Stefan

I've built the Drum, Delay and VCA modules over the last few months and they are all great. However, the Pyxis won't work. I soldered the crystal on the wrong way round so I changed that and the STM chip is a bit messy but the rest of the soldering looks ok. The lights come on but no sound.

I realise it is discontinued (I bought it for a discount on Pusherman) but what do you think? Would sending me the schematics help?

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks.

Michael

Hi Michael, There are several solder joints that look questionable. I’d recommend reflowing all ICs first and then checking whether that resolves the issue. Afterwards, it could also be worth reviewing joints with excess solder, like C56, R51, and similar parts

Thanks, Stefan

B100k Dual gang centre detent potentiometer for Sum v2 unobtainable

Hi there!

I am building the sum v2 at the moment, but I cannot find the pot meters for the pan levels.

Thonk does not stock them..

Mouser I can’t find them..

Any alternatives or should I just settle for the non detent ones?

Hey Marvin,

until your post here I didn't notice the "CD" in the IBOM ^^

I went with the BOM and built my SUM with regular stereo pots for PAN and EQ and they work just fine

Honeyeater V3 Bom

Hey Stefan,


Just a FYI about a couple of mistakes.

  • The BOM has the incorrect link for the 10K V/OFST trimmer.

  • The iBom has the incorrect value for R32. Should be 220K not 100K


Regards.

Hey, Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve fixed the trimmer link.

Regarding the iBOM: please ignore the values shown there and use only the Excel BOM for part values. The iBOM currently contains incorrect values and should be used only as a placement/part-location reference on the PCB, not for component specifications. Thanks, Stefan

Push module help

I have built two push modules, one works correctly, the 2nd won't increment with a button push. The reset works correctly as when I power it on the starting step is somewhat random and pressing reset returns it to step one.


If I jump from pin one of the cd4024 to either of the upper pins on the switch the switch glows dully and the step increments / cycles. When i press the switch it does glow and I do not believe the switch is at fault. What is the signal path from the switch to pin 1 on the CD4024? I havn't been able to beep it out with my multimeter.

Hey James,


I´m sorry to hear your Push is not working correctly. I have sent the schematics via email, hope this helps troubleshooting. As a first step I would reflow U1 and U2.

Thanks,

Stefan
