Every Core (socket) is sharing the Midi IN "lane", so if every PIC has got it's own ID, you can communicate directly via MIOS Studio with every PIC by ID. But Midi OUT is set by J11 to get feedback from MIOS Studio http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wilba_mb_6582 (Questions and Answers) Next Question, How to Clone and why? You don't need to because you must upload MIOS anyway. So it's just one step less. (Someone should correct me because I'm not 100% sure about that but I explain why) The cloning function is just for updates or to clone setupmb6582 to all slaves. (and this is ok if you just use 8580/6582 SIDs) For better understanding: the setupmb6582 is the firmware for the Master Core (Operating Software) but if you use some 6581 in slave 1, than you should choose setup-6581 for this core. If you clone (hold menu down by startup) every core uses the 8580/6582 firmware (which has a different filter table than 6581) Further Information http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_manual_hw.html (Multi SID setup)

Yeah at some point I would like to offer front-panels for parts/PCBs, not so keen on making it into a biz. Its actually kinda hard work and not something that I enjoy too much. Maybe when this whole covid-19 thing blows over I will give it a think on the best way to make it happen.

No problem, glad to see it alive!

Ah, no. As I said, you don't need to compile. You digged to deep. It's good for your knowledge but not in the case do get the stuff running immediatly. First, flash Bootloader with PicKit Programmer (IPE not IDE should be inside the pack with the IDE, however by google I just get this result) if you can handle it with IDE, never mind. But you just need the easy IPE with which you can load hex files.) bootloader_v1_2b_pic18f4685.hex, right First choose device Family 18fxxxx I don't really know if there is a way to give ids, I think its in the hex and default 00 Than open MIOS, connect to your PIC via Midi, error message, right load mios8_v1_9h_pic18f4685.hex Should upload after some seconds, if not, turn power off and on Should upload Than you get no error message, MIOS recognized or something upload setupmb6582.hex or however it's called correctly do this with every PIC and change their ids No problem to ask, I also had and will have this times where I'm stuck or don't understand correctly.

Hey @Hawkeye !! Thank you very much for your invaluable help, now it works! Regarding my build experience, I built it in 7 days while listening to Vangelis songs: From my point of view the construction process has been easy due enormously to the clarity with which you explain in the assembly video. I have never soldered SDM components before !! Although I think I have a knack for it and have always tried to make fair and shiny welds. Specifically, I had to cut some black plastic from the MCU board's JTAG connector because when assembling it collided with a pair of 100R or 220R resistors: (chapter timetable 30, 31 of the assembly video). Also cut the pins of the MCU board so that they do not collide with the acrylic case They were a little tedious because I had too big cutting pliers, but it is not a problem if you have the appropriate size cutting pliers. --- We look forward to that new update!, with new functionalities to continue exploring the loopA. !Saludos¡ Juan

You have your own CNC? Nice. Ever consider selling frontpanel services? -Darrell
