So I finally (with LAdyAda's help) fixed up my non-functioning Minty, and I'm rockin' out to some phat tunes on it RIGHT NOW!
So... am I the only non-LadyAda person to finish one of these? Has anyone else managed to complete the project? What do I win?
w00t! wikkid tunez, here I come! Now to mess around with the firmware...
I have built a minty... AND IT WORKS!!! MUAHAHAHA!

Yep. Popped it into a card reader and VOILA! (that's French for violin). Of course it's 32MB, so I canonly fit about 5 songs on, but as a proof of concept, it's groovy. Plus, I have enough spare parts, and an extra PCB, to make a second minty (just in case). I also have a yampp, so I was able to compare sound, and (to my untrained ear) the STA+DAC combo sounds just as good as the VS1001.
...How many free IO lines are there left on the PIC (if I want to add buttons, or an LCD)? Not sure I'm reading the schematic correctly...
thanks for all your help!

Well, I kind of cheated. I have an ICSP programmer from a previous project. You can buy one assembled here. Scroll down the page to the first item under 'PIC Programmers'. Comes with a ZIF socket, and basically exactly matches the images from LadyAda's site.

Heheh. Yeah, drilling the case is probably the most annoying/challenging part of the whole project. I'll probably go through a couple of tins before I get it rightladyada wrote:excellent job. unfortunatly i dont have the instructions for dremeling/drilling the case but it should be pretty obvious by now.
