  1. Make NG listen to all banks?

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    Hey people,

    In general I work with different banks. One thing that bothers me since starting working with NG is that it doesn't listen to all banks at the same time. So if I dump values to the midibox it only listens to the bank that it just activated. All other banks do not refresh. 

    Is there a chance that this will be possible in the future?

    Thanks,

    Chris

     

  3. Adding CS-line to AINSER8

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    I tried it now with a fresh firmware. I cloned the GitHub to get the latest version. Then I've copy/pasted the changes @TK. made into the code and compiled. 

    I use the core and a classic AINSER8 module. PB8 goes directly from the discovery-board to a breadboard. There is a pullup resistor to 5V. PB8 goes into the CS-input. Result: It's working fine.

    If I now just change PB8 to PE8 (like in your example), nothing happens. Here is my NGC: 

    RESET_HW


AINSER n=1 enabled=1 cs=1 resolution=7bit num_pins=1 muxed=0
AINSER n=2 enabled=1 cs=2 resolution=7bit num_pins=1 muxed=0

    Have you an idea?!

    Do you test it without the NG with a regular app first?

    No. As I don't use any other app and I stated above that I want to use it in NG TK surely took care of it.

  10. Adding CS-line to AINSER8

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    Hey @TK.,

    I tried it without success. I copied the code from you into my firmware. 

    My NGC file looks like this: 

    RESET_HW

AINSER n=1 enabled=1 num_pins=1 cs=1 resolution=7bit
AINSER n=2 enabled=1 num_pins=1 cs=2 resolution=7bit

    I have a potentiometer connected to the first analog input of the second and another one to the first input of the third module. The first module is not used at the moment. 

    If I "set debug on" in the terminal, I see movements if I turn the potentiometer which is connected to the second module. Anyway I can not see anything when I turn the pot which is connected to the third module.

    I've tried both PP and OD mode (with 1k pullup to 5V). I use PE6, which should lead to 

    MIOS32_BOARD_J10_PinInit(14, MIOS32_BOARD_PIN_MODE_OUTPUT_OD)

    and 

            case 2: return MIOS32_BOARD_J10_PinSet(14, value);

    Any ideas what I do wrong?

  12. MidiBox DAW Controller

    in MIDIbox NG

    Posted

    I'd strongly recommend to not use "normal" LEDs. It's much easier to use WS2812 RGB LEDs. Only one single data-line needed instead of 11 (in your case). And routing LED-matrix on a PCB is cumbersome.... 

    Apart from that I can not answer your question...

  17. Why does the HC165 even work?

    in Design Concepts

    Posted · Edited by FantomXR

    I did some tests with this.

    I connected a DIO-Board to my keyboard and the DIO-board to the core with jumper wire => no HCT541. I powered the DIO with 3V3 from the DISCO-Board. The result: It's running fine. No issues. I checked the clock with my oscilloscope. It looks very clean. Also no issues here. 

    So, I think I'll leave away the HCT541 for my applications and run everything from 3V3. 

    //edit: I've connected an encoder to the DIO-board. Works also fine.

  return status;

    But when I now connect the Chipselect to PE8, which is D0 on J10A, nothing happens.

    Any idea?

  21. STP16 as alternative to HC595?

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    Of course there are tons of other ICs, that are very usable but are not supported by MIDIbox though a dedicated driver is needed.

    I thought that the STP may can be used with very little changes in the firmware but giving a great benefit. TLC5958 is a complete other story I think.

    No but I followed up the logic in the code above:

  25. STP16 as alternative to HC595?

    in Parts Questions

    Posted

    Hey people,

    a friend of mine just told me about the STP16CPC. It looks great. It can be accessed via SPI, it has 16 outputs and a current-setting. So if one would like to build LED-Rings this looks like a great solution with very less parts-count. You wouldn't need any current-limiting resistors in front of the LEDs and only one IC to drive 16 LEDs.
    So, does anyone used this IC before and does it work in a classic DIO-chain without changes on the code?

    I took a look into the datasheet but I'm not sure. The STP has a LE-input which the HC595 doesn't have. But it might work if one connect the chipselect (RC) which is normally connected to RCLK on the HC595 to the LE of the STP. 

    Thanks,
    Chris
