# BlueSCSI 1.0-b to 1.0-c
|
|
||||||
:toc: macro
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Introduction
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1.0-c was a small change to fix an issue with machines that provide low or no `TERMPOWER` over the SCSI bus. If you recived a Fully Assembled BlueSCSI after April 1st, 2021 then this was done for you. If you have a kit labled 1.0-b you can make these modifications to become a 1.0-c.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Steps
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Disconnect `TERMPOWER` from 220 Pull Up Jupmer
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Use a cutting tool to cut the small trace between the `TERMPOWR` and 220 Pull Up Jumper pictured below.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Make sure continiutiy from `TERMPOWER` to the diode still flows correctly but is disconnected from the jumper.

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Connect 5V to 220 Pull Up Jupmer
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now we will provide pull up from the 5v provided by the BluePill.
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Complete!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Thats it! 5v to the Pull Up resistors will now work when powered externally.

# Assembly
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Before you start
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Read through all instructions before starting.
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
## Videos
|

||||||
|
|
||||||
The community has created a few assembly videos:

## Building
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Solder on the surface mount SD Card holder. Use the [Drag Solder](https://youtu.be/Z_KL4fWOMug) technique.
|
|
||||||
- Once on, check continuity of all connections. Fixing this after the BluePill is on will be difficult.
|
|
||||||
- Ensure the SD card fits and you dont have too much solder on the sides or contacts
|
|
||||||
2. Solder the diodes to the **bottom** of the board. Be sure they are flush as possible to the bottom.
|
|
||||||
![Diode Orientation](images/diodes.png)
|
|
||||||
3. Solder the header pins on to the BluePill. Then BluePill pill to the BlueSCSI PCB.
|
|
||||||
- Correct orientation is having the USB connector of the BluePill should be over the SD Card holder.
|
|
||||||
- **NOTE**: Consider adding headers to the board if you would like to have the BluePill removable.
|
|
||||||
4. Solder on the resistor nets. Pin one is marked on the board and the resistors.
|
|
||||||
- 220 RNETS (`RN1` & `RN3`) are closest to the BluePill
|
|
||||||
- **NOTE** PIN one on each - they are opposite of eachtoher. See photo.
|
|
||||||
- 330 RNETS (`RN2` & `RN4`) are furthest from the BluePill
|
|
||||||
- **NOTE** PIN one on each - they are opposite of eachtoher. See photo.
|
|
||||||
![Orientation RNETs and BluePill](images/orientation.png)
|
|
||||||
5. Solder on the Termination Jumpers & place the jumpers on to enable Termiation
|
|
||||||
6. Solder the 50 Pin headers on.
|
|
||||||
1. Note Pin 1 and Box header on the silk screen.
|
|
||||||
7. Optional - Solder on the berg connector. Only needed if your machine does not supply enough power via the SCSI bus.
|
|
||||||
8. Optional - Solder on the debug headers near the SD card. Only nessissarry if re-programming.

# Troubleshooting 1.0-b
|
|
||||||
:toc: macro
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
NOTE: If your BlueSCSI was shipped after April 3rd, 2021 please refer to the 1.0-c troubleshooting guide.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Green LED Flashes on and off
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This indicates BlueSCSI could not find any files on the SD card or communicate with the SD card.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ensure your files are named properly (case sensitive) following the naming convetion in the readme.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you recived a kit - verify all connections and that the outside of the SD holder is grounded.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## LOG.txt is empty
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This indicates the BlueSCSI could communicate with the SD Card but found no files. Check your naming convention.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Slow performance
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ensure you are using a good SD card. SD card quality can vary widely.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Format your card as ExFat - users have seen quite a jump in performance.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## (Kit Only) Verify you are not using a fake
