Hey! I'm interested in which case it is necessary to program an encoder like this. Could you please give an example?

Same here! I have exactly the same problem! When I did upload the bootloader app and restart the core, the display shows "Bootloader © T.Klose" but after that it goes black. In NG it's also not working.

I checked all connections and it seemed, that there was a mistake. Anyway: Now I have another problem. I connected a pot to the AINSER. When turning it from 0 to 100% the values need two or three seconds to "follow" the pot. So it seems, that something slows the scan rate down. Any suggestions?

Hey, I ran into a little problem. I use an AINSER8-module. I want to scan four switches (f.e. sustain) and four expression pedals. So I have eight jacks. All of them are stereo even if I don't use the stereo-feature for switches. I wired all "tip"-pins and all "shield"-pins together. Tip is 5V, shield is GND. For the switches I first connect the analog input and than connect the switch via a 1k resistor to GND. This works flawlessly. For the expression pedals I thought I could use the "ring"-pins which is the wiper of a typical expression pedal. So I connected the analog inputs of the AINSER to the "ring"-pins. So for expression: T - 5V R - A0-A3 S - GND As I'm using switched-jacks I set up the connection like if nothing is connected to the jack, the analog input goes to ground to not create random values. The problem is that I get a lot of jitter especially in the lower range. Not of the input I connected the potentiometer to, but from all the other jacks. Also of the sustain-jacks. I than tried to connect the potentiometer to one of the sustain-jacks. It's working here but it doesn't go down to 0 and it doesn't go up to 127. Also it seems that the scale does not go linear. I use a pot with a center-detent. In the first half nearly nothing happens. But I have to say, that I didn't try to set a pinrange for the jacks yet. Could you please tell me where my mistake is? I have no idea.... Thank you very much, Chris

Hi TK, okay! No problem ;) Thanks, Chris

I have another question regarding Sysex: Is midibox able to "learn" SysEx commands via "MIDI"-learn or do I have to put in the sysex-strings by myself?

Hey TK, okay! I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait to test it ;) Thanks for your support. Best regards, Chris

Hey TK, I think this will be fine. Do you already have the NGR-code for that? :) Thanks, Chris

Hi! Thanks for getting back to me. Hm, seems complicated. TK, is there maybe an easier solution on the softwareside? (Fire note-on with the break) If not... I didn't get exactly what you meant by using a 8PDT switch. Would you draw just a little schematic on how do you think it should work?

I attached a schematic as example. Is this correct?

So, sadly this project was canceled for several reasons. But I have another question regarding RGB LEDs. As far as I know NG is able to drive LEDs with common cathode. How about common anode leds? Is it also possible in conjunction with ULN? Thanks, Chris

Yeah, I remember... but I was not complaining! I just mentioned it :) I will try it soon! :) Thanks again!

Hey TK! Thanks for all that! I at first need to understand the code in the NGR. That takes a bit of time :) The new features you added... could you do an example for what this could be useful? I don't know, what you meant by the SRIO. Where do I have to put this parameter into? It would be great to scan it faster :) I'm out of DIO-modules... so I can not test it at the moment...

Hey Thorsten! Great! I figured out how to send a CC which contains the bank select and after that the program change. It works great! So, what I could do is, adding two buttons. Those two buttons change between bank select 1 and 2. But I think this is a complicated solution. Here is an idea: Is it possible, that NG generates the correct program change (including bank select) automatically? So, for example: I enter number 128 and NG sends Program Change 1 on Channel 1 on Bank 2 because it's the first program change in the new bank. What do you think? A friend of mine uses Mainstage and he has a very large setup running, which contains up to 200 songs. Mainstage (meanwhile) supports bank select. So this would be a great feature. This feature is already awesome anyways :)

TK!!! You are my hero! That's awesome and it works perfectly! It is possible to add bank select support (or MSB / LSB)? Or even a support for the midi channel on which the prg.chg. is sent? This would be a great feature. Thank you again! :)

Hey! I want to create my own pcb because I need to put the LCDs in another order. Is there a schematic, that shows the connections? Thanks Chris

Hey people! I'm in designing a breakout board for the STM. So J15A will be splitted into eight 2x5 pin header at which the OLED displays will be connected directly with a standard ribbon cable. For that I need the schematic, that shows, how to connect 9-16 displays to the core. I can't find any schematic for this and it's hard to see from the schematic of the pcb novski created. I know that I need to add a 74HC595 shift register but I'm not sure, how it has to be connected to the core. Could you please point me in the right direction? Thanks, Chris

Okay! :) Thank you very much.

Thanks TK. @novski: keypad = numpad. Well, if I think about it...It doesn't have to be a numpad. How about using buttons connected to a DIN or organized in a matrix? Is there a way?

Hey people, I wonder if somebody managed to send a program change command with a simple keypad. May I overlooked something but I didn't find something which is related to midibox. I wish to type in a number and after pressing an "enter"-button it sends the program change number. Is there something out there? :) Thanks, Chris

Okay, I see your point! I tested with a multimeter. My assumption is correct. Both sides share T0-T7. So the only solution is what you already suggested. Good to know :-) I will go into it in the upcoming week. Thanks for your help! BTW: Here is a build recently finished!
