Re: Testing the piezo speaker
It can be activated through software, but I don't recall if the firmware made that available.?

Thanks Kerem, I’ll give that a try.

Re: Testing the piezo speaker
It is louder if the Piezo speaker is not in contact with the chips below,
and suspended in the air with the ground wires.

I have the same problem. ?If I put my ear to it I can hear a faint beep. ?Checked all the wiring and connections, everything looks right.

Re: Testing the piezo speaker
Yes, it actually beeps on each key press. I just couldn't hear it.
Is there anything else I can do with it?

Re: Testing the piezo speaker
Each key press creates a beep as well as turns on the led. If you don’t
hear a beep, I would check to see if the opto coupler is
installed correctly.

Testing the piezo speaker
I finally added the piezo speaker to the Z80MC. It only took me 2 years!
What I'd like to know is how is the speaker accessed?
I half expected there to be a beep or something when the system booted up

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
I just did the same thing. Added a 22k resistor to R4 pins 1-2.
Since my problem was intermittent, I'm hoping this resolves the issue.

Is it possible that the SIO card interfering with input port 12? SIO card

Z80 MC testing
When I use the instructions on page 24, Examine Input Port, Press 5 12, read in12 78, instead I am getting blinking FF. Is this normal? Does this indicate in have an HW problem?

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
The comment on TTL was a generalization.
Also likely any Nmos chips and others will be dead.
That will include most of the parts like the Ram chip, uSD is
plugged in, and as mentioned already most

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Thanks Allison. I have replaced the 74SL259 with a new one, but didn’t make
any difference.

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Any TTL (74LS259) will react very badly with overvoltage.
Most of the CMOS may tolerate it.

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Now that the Front Panel is working, I need to fix the SIO card which I think accidentally destroyed during the troubleshooting of the Front Panel. SIO card received 9V instead of 5V now all LEDs are

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
I originally used FJN3303 transistors, which have internal 22k+22k resistors. When Mouser stopped stocking the thru-hole versions, I had to switch to FJN3305 with internal 4.7k+10k resistors. I

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Hi all!
To add another data point to the problem, I'm using DTC114ES for Q2/Q3, and DTA114ES for Q5 (all with 10k + 10k resistors) and R4 is 22k.
Edit:? R4 is of course 10k.? I confused it with R4

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Thanks Lee, a 22K resistor in parallel with R4 A between pins 1 and 2
solved the problem with S8.

Correct. This provides a debounced pushbutton to clock counter U2A.
Either is fine; you just don't want to leave a CMOS input floating.
Or J2 pin 10 also works.

Here is the recommended setup for standalone testing of the front panel,
just to make sure it is the correct start.

Re: Strange behavior of #8 button
Nothing is actually getting hot on mine. Barely perceptible warmth would be a better way to put it.
I'm powering it directly from the USB port on my laptop.
Actually I just got a new laptop and it's
