DSP options - Sure Audio DSP?

Great thread on the sure audio dsp. I too have been playing with these for a little mini project. The dsp works great with good audio quality. I have been struggling with the icp1 programmer though. SometimesI can connect and program no problem, but most of the time it is extremely flaky to say the least. Sigma studio recognises the icp1 (usb connection turns green) when I click link compile connect all is good but as soon as I click link compile download it says communication failed. There is no rhyme nor reason to it. Once in a while it just works. I have tried everything. I have messaged sure and asked for a replacement icp1, hell I have even asked to buy another icp1 but they just keep asking me simple questions such as 'is switch 1 in position 1' its driving me crazy! Anyone got any tips? Its otherwise a good unit but these problems are putting me off. Anyone else have these problems? Thanks guys

Excellent, that is encouraging. I'll buy a board and get experimenting then :)

Haven't tried them yet, don't really know what power the amps are giving as Sure publish a slightly odd set of specs. I'd imagine they're ok though, Powersoft have some instructions on setting them up available here:

The 18650s are charging up to 3.96 volts per cell, which is a bit low unfortunately. I'm just using an old laptop brick to charge/run from 240v.

I didn't bother with the program that was on the board when it came, just hooked up to sigma studio (with the sure ICP1 programmer) and put my own program on. That side of things works fine, although the connection to the JAB3 board is much flakier than the ADAU1701 board for some reason.

To program there are a few wrinkles not that clearly covered in the docs. Connect the ICP1 via usb and verify the connection in the harware configuration tab in Sigma Studio is showing green, hit link compile connect on Sigma Studio, then connect to the programming port on the JAB3/ADAU1701. Then hit link compile download. The board should now be running your program. To write it to the EEPROM, move the micro switch on the ICP1 to position 1 and right click the AUAU1701 box in sigma studio HW configuration tab, choose write latest compilation to EEPROM. Move switch back to position 2 and disconnect/reboot the board to run in standalone mode.

You can make changes to parameters in real time after hitting link compile download, but if you add new processing blocks you need to recompile and download the program.

Worth reading through the Sigma Studio wiki to get more of an idea of what it can do - there are some quite useful excercises in the projects section on their website as well...

Just hooked up some 18650s to my JAB3/2 and unfortunately the JAB3 MPPT doesn't seem to be charging either, though it powers fine from the cells. On the JAB2 it is working fine. Odd...

thanks for that yeh i think im going to skype them i need it for portable speaker i want to ge tinto production but i just cant get this board to work. sure in the past have just been simple plug and play but this jab series has me stumped. good luck if i get any info on how to get these boards to work easly i will post it up here.
