TI84+ soundchip - arduino SID emulator
« on: January 14, 2013, 01:20:26 pm »


I finally made this! It's a breadboard arduino running a sid emulator and a link protocol. You can write to registers in the emulated SID chip. It's very user friendly. Now it's possible to have ingame music and soundeffects without terrible framerate drops.

I need to clean up the source, so that's up for download tomorrow.

Spoiler For Spoiler:
Code: [Select]
#include <SID.h>

#define SOUND 1
#define MIDI 0

// MACROs
#define PIN2H (PIND & 0B00000100)
#define PIN3L !(PIND & 0B00001000)

#define CLR(x,y) (x&=(~(1<<y)))
#define SET(x,y) (x|=(1<<y))

SID mySid;

void setup()
{
  pinMode(2,INPUT);
  pinMode(3,INPUT);
  mySid.begin();
}

int n=0;
int timer=0;
int count=0;
int dcount=0;
byte get=B00000000;
int addrval[3] = {0,0,0};


    #define CHANNEL1  0
    #define CHANNEL2  7
    #define CHANNEL3  14


void loop()
{
  do{
    do
    {
      if (PIN3L)
      {
        if (PIN2H)
        {
          CLR(get,count);
        }
        else
        {
          SET(get,count);
        }
        count++;
        
        while(PIN3L)
        {
        timer++;
          if (timer==500){
            n=count=0;
            break;
          }
        }
        timer=0;
      }
    }while(count!=8);
    addrval[n]=get;
    n++;
    count=0;
  }while(n!=2);

  mySid.set_register(addrval[0], addrval[1]);
  n=0;
}

You're welcome ;)

The breadboard schematic is just a breadboarded arduino. You can use a stock arduino and hook up pin 9 to a set of speakers or headphones.

It's a quite nice idea, i like it! I would suggest you find (make) a small-pcb board + perhaps a phone loudspeaker, so that it would be possible to sorta of glue it to the calculator's back, making more portable. Just an idea. :)

Nice! Now just build it INSIDE of a calculator :P

Awesome work!

There is as special place in my heart for the C64 and its SID chip!

That's the next step. First I want to make sure it's flawless. I will also add the original midi out code to the chip. This project was based around the code of my midi interface.

Edit: The midi feature is now implemented. I can now send midi messages as long as they are 3 bytes in size. With a jumper setting I can set the soundchip to SID or MIDI mode.

You should show it off then to give it a bit of spice...
Can you do the same trick to ti-nspire?

I do not own a nspire, but if it has two I/O lines to work with I can easily implement it. I just shift out the data from the calculator with one data line and one clock line.

Without the midi function. Old picture, but shows the size of the board


With the midi connector and an on/off switch. It runs off the calculators batteries. An atmega MCU runs fine on 4v-5v, but 6v will damage it. I added a diode to lower the voltage a bit.


There you have it! It's almost what I had in mind for my profile essay: TI-nterface. I can still add code for GPIO (changing the state of the I/O pins).

How long does it take to send such a command to the chip?
it looks great, and sounds even better :)

And sure you have to add gpio support, it's a wast of pins if you don't do so, or use an ATtiny45 or something equivalent. Those are arduino compatible, and are about a third of the size of the atmega328p.

It looks like that midi port is big to get it into a box, how are you gonna solve that? keep it outside?
