Power supply problems...

[futureanalogue]

Hi there. got a new x0x (atomic mods) recently but having some power issues.... .I dont know much about how these work....

when i tried this with a 9v adapter it powered up but did not play the notes properly at all...after a while i got frustrated and turned the multi adapter up to 12v and it now works..????

Is this something to do with the psu i am using..? I just found out it is supposed to be 500mA but this one is 1200..!!!!

Also when i touch any switch it makes a horrible buzzing noise...

Thanks in advance..Graham.

it smells like your adapter is DC-DC, which is wrong
the x0xb0x needs DC-AC (9V AC at around 300 to 500mA)

yeah i was guessin it was the psu...i got a proper 500ma adaptor and it worked fine for a while, but then i connected it to my pc to do an update(a should have bloody left it) this has now pretty much bricked it.

when i turn it on a couple of random leds light up and nothing works....!

Please help

hm.. what app did you use to upload the firmware?
did you try switching the x0x on/off while the FUNC knob points to "RANDOM" for example..?

I used conbox...i had tried it with control and it could not find it...

when i turn it on now every led is lighting up...as if its frozen

try to flash it again then, the bootloader may still be alive

[futureanalogue]

nah....it cant connect to the x0x

error: could not get Deviceid string

check for correct baudrate (in the app settings) and give it a few more tries
if it doesn't change.. then probably the bootloader is corrupted
