Hi Midibox does just midi. As far as i know no keyboard emulation is implemented. But if you have a xKey why dont you program a macro on that? On my xKey stick i can program any keyboard key to any of the buttons on the xKey. So i dont understand what more you are searching for...

Hi Fubard Yes its possible but considder to use the STM32F4 core because its the sucessor of the LPC17 and the bootloader is easyer to step trough. Sysex is possibile. Qwerty i can not follow, is that a Keyboard you whant to connect?

Hi Roelli The NG doesn't support more than 4 MF_NG Modules and the .Hex files for those 4 Modules are in the change_id app included. So you shouldn't need to set up the tool chain. All trough your right that the link is somehow miss leading... Then you have to go on with configureing them to "Midibox Link Forwarding point" in the "MIOS_Studio" "MBHP_MF_NG" "TOOL" dropdown. Serial Out then has to be linked to the Serial In of next MF_NG Module and the Last Module has to be set to "Midibox Link End Point" and connected to the Serial In of your Core. best regards novski

Hi I tested a encoder filter that is recommended by the manufacturer and it works. but im not so sure about the consequences. I will ad a schematical drawing to show what i mean. The question is: can i use this schematic without troubles? Thanks a lot Novski

@ sneakthief: where did you get the transperant plastic-inlays made?

Looking forward to see your development!

Hi Chris There is a limitation. Thats why there was recently a linedriver module developed: http://ucapps.de/mbhp_line_driver.html Best Regards Novski

I even wrote Tim on facebook but i didn't get an answer... I was not able to find a suplyer...

Hi bubbles you are welcome to use my layouts i have published on github. LINK I have no idea of diatonic and melodic modes. Midibox seams to me to be the best Midi solution. Its realy easy to program different Banks that let you virtually multiply your 5x5 pad... Maybe its best to get a STM32F4 first and try to do first steps with MIOS, it costs just about 15$... With that you can follow the tutorial on ucapps.de under Midibox_NG Project. LINK Best Regards novski

Hi Bubbles There is a very easy way to make a such solution. The IO ports on the STM32F4Core allow a 16In and 16Out directly. (LINK -Search for DIO) So its not exactly what you are asking for because a 5x5 button pad has to be made with Shift registers. A 4x4 can be connected directly. But there is another drawback. The Sparkfun Rubberbutton PCB is layouted in Matrix form so to use this readymade PCB you will need to use shift registers anyway. I don't know the Ardiono Midi world so you might have to ask in a arduino forum to get answers about the hardware needed there. For Midibox i can list what you need: 1xSTM32F4Core 1xDIO_Matrix Module Or you go for a 3x8 Buttonpad from my Layout: Doku / shop whith that you will need a core as well... Best regards novski

Hi Zam Well the overall current will depend on the connected parts and modules like LEDs on DOUTs... I can measure the current of a single STM32F4DISCO if you need to know it exactly. Best regards Novski

Hi Zam The 3.3V is generated automatically inside a STM32F4Disco if you use that. The Chip it self doesn't do that. from this document: http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical/document/user_manual/DM00039084.pdf not sure if i understand you right... The Core PCB related J Connectors are described here: http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core_stm32f4.html In the schematic of the core you can find the Pin assignment. best regards novski

I found a part of my problems. :no: Some weeks ago i invested in a IDC Plier. That was already to late. The cable was made bevor and i don't know where i used it already without success. :pinch: Never use a normal Plier. I will come back to the Ids soon. Have to test it tomorrow.

Well that wold be easy. Id=1 😀 No, what im searching for is the id after the Matrix. If i make a 8x16 Matrix with SR 1-3 and then connect a single direct LED to SR4, D7, the id doesn't seem to be 129. what id is it? Or is my cirquit faulty...? Best regards Novski

Ok. I will upload it here. Let me ask a simplified question: If i make a LED Marix and configure it like that: DOUT_MATRIX n= 1 rows=8 sr_dout_sel1=1 sr_dout_r1=2 sr_dout_r2=3 Now i connect a single LED to the next SR output (D7 i think) on SR4. Whats the code to make that single LED light up? Whats not clear to me is the next ID number after a Matrix... Thanks novski DEFAULT.NGC.zip

Hi Im trying to configure my MF_NG with a .NGC file. Still i have problems with understanding the Code for combinations of different modules, ID Numbers and general. :smile: Im Using Modules i all Layouted my self and i have tested them successfully one by one. Now the time is ready to connect them together and make it complete. But i can't manage to find out how the IDs and config shold be. SO to make it not too long i made a chart of my SRIO chain I marked the unknown with a orange round "ID?" and i wold like to know what ID the next LED wold have... May somebody help me? Thanks a lot Novski

ah yea that looks a bit easier. I will test it soon. Thanks!

hey yogi. Thanks for that. I didn't try it until now but the documentation says something like it will work. :phone:

Hi Does anybody have a idea how i cold get midibox buttons to send an F1-12 Key like if i hit my keyboard (that one thats typing this post through my fingers right now... :rofl: ) maybe also through a RTP-Midi Module as well? :pirate: Sorry for those dumb questions, but if out there somewhere there is a solution or similar, please let me know... best regards novski

Hi suloo I once made a pcb for RGB colored encoders. You can find the compleete dokumentation in the wikipages: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=fadercore_-_vlr-8enc Feel free to download the Eagle files an expand it to 16... Best regards Novski

Hey, im so sorry for that confusion. I didn't recognize that you whant to use analog Pots. I automaticaly thaught of Digital encoders...

Can you point me to the datasheet of device U$29/47. They are unknown by me... And google doesn't help... The connectors look a bit strange to me. It should be possibul to connect just through J8/9 on the core to "in" and "out" shiftregisters with just 10pin IDC Headers... You may have a look in to the schematics of DIN and DOUT. Best Regards Novski

This Forum mostly makes MIDI stuff so you might want to have a look to the http://groupdiy.com . they make more Audio stuff. Ich hab diesen Baustein mal angesehen und weis davon noch das die Steuerung über eine serielle Schnittstelle läuft. Davon hat das STM32F4 genügend aber mit dem Midibox projekt sind diese für MIDI In/Out reserviert. Daher wird es hiermit schwierig. http://groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=47650.20 Liebe Grüsse novski

Richtig. Aber die Core Platiene ist nicht unbedingt notwendig. Du kannst auch ein anderes Breakout verwenden. Dazu solltest du dir die Schemas in beiden Dokumentationen genauer anschauen. RTP-Midi http://www.kissbox.nl/downloads/Manuals/KissBox_CPU_V3_OEM_RTP-MIDI_HD_Integration_Manual.pdf Core STM32f4 http://ucapps.de/mbhp_core_stm32f4.html Viel spass! :rofl:
