Re: [Doepfer_a100] Can I mod a A-152 to do this?

2013-02-07 by James Husted

Let me try it out first. It is very simple. It will be based on a variation of this circuit fragment - https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4zuu4p62nvwccn/driver.jpg
I may have to add some stuff to extend the pulse a bit, to make it longer than it is. I will see how it works first.

It should isolate the processor fine. I will attach it to the expansion header so no mods to the board itself. That is why I asked about what else is on that header. Might as well bring out whatever I can since I will be making a panel for it.
