Hey everyone. I'm building a MIDI retrofit for my Polysix synth. This will be my first electronics project. It will involve loading a PIC16F84, and building a circuit based on that PIC to solder into the synth.
I've never programmed a pic before. Any suggestions on which programmer to buy? Also, where could I find all the parts in the circuit? Here's all of them:
Resistors (1/4W carbon or metal film):
R1 220R
R2 360R
Capacitors:
C1 0.1uF multilayer
C2,C3 33pF ceramic
Semiconductors
D1...D9 1N4148
IC1 6N137
IC2 PIC16F84 or 16C84
IC3 74HC148
Cristal or ceramic resonator:
X1 8MHz
Other:
DIP 18pin IC socket
PCB connectors (2pcs 2pin, 1pc 3pin, 1pc 4pin) or
break-a-way strip line connector
DIN 5pin/180degrees female panel-mount connector
Some cable (preferably color-coded)
Also, how will I be able to test if I've programmed the pic correctly?
Thanks for the help, I'm very new to electronics, so I'm glad to know a forum like this one.
