Eeprom Initialization Issues / Question [SOLVED]

Discuss Nava construction and related issues
  • Is the next step to swap chips?
  • there is no other option i think
  • I swapped it out with a new IC - still can't get past the Play/Enter prompt to initialize.
    I still have continuity between enter and IC105.

    What is the next point down the line? Mine is 1.1, I haven't seen any schematics for the new version.

    Is Shift, Clear, Last Step, instrument, scale button working ?
    If not IC100 is dead, replace it

  • Will those functions work without initializing the eeprom?
    I'm not clear as to what should or shouldn't work prior to initializing.
  • Swapped out IC100 and now all of those functions seem to work - before the buttons lit up, but the screen didn't change - they do now.
    Should the nava work 100% without EEprom initialization?
    The manual covers deeper functions, but not simple pattern editing.
    I'm assuming that selecting an instrument and hitting buttons 1-16 should create a pattern with that instrument, but currently none of those instrument/step buttons light up.
    Does adjusting the 5V after inserting ICs run the risk of burning those ICs? I rarely experience bad ICs in a build.
  • What IC controls the LEDs for the step switches and enter? I assumed they would be the same as the ones for the switches, but i'm not sure.
    My LEDs should be correct but they don't light, when the unit plays. I can trigger drums out in tap mode, and change instruments, so I know the switches work, but they don't light.
    I'm wondering if the EEProm actually is being initialized, but I can't see the progress....

    Here is how are leds connected:

  • have you checked the polarity of the led's ? it is unlikely that all led's or drivers ic's are not working.
