Hello, Some time ago Novation has partially* open-sourced their LaunchPad Pro Source Code. The Device contains a STM32F103, has 8x8 Pads with Aftertouch and Velocity Sensitivity, DIN MIDI IN/OUT, USB-MIDI and 32 General Purpose Buttons. I always loved the MidiBox Sequencer V4 and built my first just after it got released. I never built a BLM, though, but played around with the Emulated version, which I liked! Now my Idea: Implementing the BLM Firmware on the LaunchPad Pro and connect it via DIN-MIDI/USB-Host to the SEQv4 as a Standalone device without the need for a PC as BLM-Launchpad-Proxy. My question is now, if I have to look into the source code of the PIC based BLM or if there is any protocol reference for the BLM protocol? I guess maybe looking at the Lemur BLM Code would make sense? * https://github.com/dvhdr/launchpad-pro - Contains proprietary HAL UPDATE: Success! BLM-compatible firmware based on the Launchpad Pro template working. Still has some weird bugs, which look to me a bit like memory corruption or maybe OOM. Anyone wants to help?

Depends on how you need to get it placed on your project. Maybe I can make a library from my pcb by grouping each ring, for you after to route between rings/driver and mosfet adresses lines. For you to know, it's 4 layer pcb, there's 48 channel lines between rings and driver + 32 addresses lines. Soldering 32 *1.6mm square leds by ring oblige to be precise and patient. Parkinson please refrain from ;)

As far as I can see the LPC 17 Core PCB is not available to buy anymore from Smash TV's and Mikes Midibox shops but you can still buy the newer CORE STM32F4 PCB and kit from SmashTV. http://midiboxshop.bigcartel.com/ Keep in mind you would need to purchase the STM32F407G-DISC1 evaluation board externally. That would be the easiest way to proceed. You should always make sure all components are available to buy (such as the PCB) before ordering anything, it can save cost in the long run. :)

Video of the success: @Admin: Can someone move this maybe to the BLM category if its more appropriate?

i still have the nude CORe_LPC17 board layin around here available for sell. PM me for more details. Bests,Jerome
