Gotek/HxC LCD Mod
Hello all,
Looking for some confirmation before I start this mod. I ordered the resistors and LCD module to add "Normal" mode to my Gotek with HxC firmware on it. It has the latest firmware. I have found a couple threads and pictures on the webs, but no definite how to or diagrams. So I mocked one up. Anyone who has done this, is this correct? It says no where, but I will assume that the additional "Enter" button goes to ground? I will update this thread with pictures of the mod as I go along. Thanks, Ron Last edited by rfancella; 15 December 2015 at 21:08. Reason: Removed the incorrect attached diagram |

Thanks Supaduper!
I had that post. It was just a little vague on some points. I got the resistors and the LCD in last night. The display was super cheap at around $6.00 UDS. I could have gotten it cheaper from China, but this was a US seller on "the other bay". The resistors (10 ea.) was cheap as well, around $2.00 USD. I already had a momentary N/O switch, but I think I bought 4 of them for less than $1.00 USD. Some wire off an old ATX case and a little soldering. Now that I know it works, i'll mount the button in the front of the Gotek and temp mount the display somewhere until I can mount it permanent somewhere. Now for the pix. Here is the corrected diagram: And a picture of the LCD display: Here is another, showing it working as DF2: Here is a top view of the Gotek: And a closeup of the resistors: One end of each tapped into +5vdc and the other end of one tapped into SLC and the other tapped into SDA. It was very cheap and easy. Now I can hit the button to unmount the disk, browse the USB drive and find the file I want. Hit the button again to mount it. I don't mind using the Autoboot.hfe for DF0:, but hate the idea of having to swap the Goteks to program DF1: or DF2:. Thanks for tuning in. Ron |
