It was just a number that looked OK for the frequency since you don't want to distort the real signal too much. You can also create 500pF by using two 1nF caps in series. Also, you could try a small resistor (< 100 ohm) between output and input but before the cap. Like this: ___ ---|___|----*-----o shift register input | | --- --- | | --- GND Play around with the values some and see what works best. Then try a different cable. :) Gerrit Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2016-12-21 22:02:03
