Hi all,

Here I am Vampirized with a V4 StandAlone.

Enjoying listening to modules and music, I decided to buy a PCM5102 audio module.

But the problem is, I don't know how to plug it in?

Can anyone help me.

Thank you.

I dont believe the instructions have been made available yet to do this.

This one?

I was also looking at this, but not sure of the advantage?

If you contact Relec they're pretty good they should send you some steps :)

Nice to see RELEC has so many v2 and v4 small expansions - almost all there is.

My lucky guess is using i2c

but no defenete schematics.

Its best to ask Renaud as he did it :)

Relec is pretty good, I have had no issues with them. They also seem to have the most new Amiga hardware and addons.

Just a shame they're so far away from me.

Is this really needed?

RTC is an optional part
you can also get it at apollo-computer.com
EXTERNAL LINK 
The RTC allows the Computer to remember the date/clock when you turn the power off. If you not care about this then you not need this.
Alternatively you can also run a tool which fetched the correct time from internet and sets it again at each boot.

You can not use a 5V part with the Vampire.
This part is not compatible.
Please not do this!

no worries Gunnar, I don't want to grill my vampire.

I haven't even had time to test it, but would an audio extractor from DIGITAL-VIDEO work?

I also got confirmation from Tuko that it was no longer compatible with the current V4 vampire.

Thanks Gunnar for your response.

Thanks Gunnar, I will just use a tool to use the internet connection :-)

Yes, I'm using this cheap audio : EXTERNAL LINK with Creative Pebble v3 (No audio with my "compatible" screen)

I was thinking of doing this, the sound is okay?

Yes, it's OK. It's a nice well made little product.
