hallo, building seq v4+. following the youtube video 1, part 22. MIDI8: Installing Pin Headers & Shrouded IDC Headers 1:20:10
question is; is it vital these pin headers are gold? i don’t seem to have them in my mouser BLM delivery. only tin ones. cheers
@horacio2222 sorry for the gold designation in the video, of course tin is just as good!
Best regards and enjoy building! Peter
awesome Peter..so far so good!- thanks the speedy reply-
apologies for yet another potentially stupid question but re: the crystals on the I2C PCB board. can i use 20.000MHz instead of 10.000MHz as instructed in the video? cheerS!
horacio2222 Q1 to Q4 on the I2C board are listed in the BOM as ECS-200-18-4X-CKM, 20MHz anyway - so 10MHz would be wrong! If you followed the Mouser BOM then you have the correct ones. 😄
Yes, please use 20 MHz as in the BOM, also there should be a “card” in the video and an erratum note that explains the correction.
For pin headers/socket combos, you should always match like metals, so gold-gold or tin-tin.
much obliged guys!
