Gilderfluke&Co 'Dumb' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 10)

- Micro MACs Brick Jumper Configuration -
The majority of the configuration for the Micro MACs Bricks is done on an eight position Dipswitch.
The exceptions to this are those jumpers which set:
A) size and type of memory used
B) internal/external clock source and frame rate
C) Internal/External power for the J-8 Optoisolated inputs
D)
Stop and/or end of memory jumpers needed in some configurations
E) Double show configuration (if used)
In all the following drawings, the jumper pins are shown as circles contained within an outline of the
header assembly. Pins that are used for a given configuration are shown as filled-in, while those which
remain hollow are not being used. The jumper plugs (used for connecting adjacent pins) or wires (used
for connecting pins that are not adjacent) which connect the pins are shown as black lines. Any pin
which is shown filled in with black, but which does not have any wire or jumper plug shown on it, must
have all wires and/or jumper plugs removed from it in the actual Micro MACs Brick you are configuring.
- Memory Configuration -
The type of memory to be used is set on JP2 and JP4. These jumpers must be set before you
install your memory chips and power up the Micro MACs Brick. You shouldnÕt change any of the
jumpers on the other headers when this setting is changed.
- 6264LP Ram -
To configure a Record/Playback Micro MACs Brick for use with 6264LP static Ram Chips for a
capacity of 16,384 (16K) frames. The RAM chips must be ÔSouthÕ justified, leaving four unused
holes at the top of each socket.
