    thanks.

     

    Hi
    Yes right you can make your own J8/9.
    The SD card is used for the App. So you will have to load the Bootloader through the miniUSB connector. Then you will have to Download MIOS Studio to your PC/MAC and upload the MIOS system trough the microUSB to the controller. The Apps store the Controlling script on the SD card to save the space inside the chip...

    After that you need to Upload the App you whant to play with. Its like a PC where first is the bios then the OS like Windows or Linux and to do anything you will likely start a Program like an Texteditor that saves the file to a SD card... (Maybe)

    There is a walktrough tutorial on the ucapps site. Just click on the STM32 Core link.

    Best regards

    THANKS

    Just read the ucapps site.

    There you also find the link to the midibox-shop.com that sells a breakout board...

    i downloaded the schematics and it seems to be possible to make my own j8/9 from the STM32F407. The thing is that the STM32F4Discoery have a built in bootloader, my F407dossent, so i buy a new STM32F4Discovery. Theres a shop here in stockholm selling the one ucapps recomend for only 13euro.

    But when do i need the SD-card? MidiBox is loaded to the flash in the STM32 right?

    And if not i think i will wait until after the summer due to family and work. I dont have the time to spend hours soldering and burning my fingertips getting pissed of :)

    Then i maybe will try to search for somebody that i willing to sell me  a premade midibox NG unit or build one for me that i can lab with.

    Did you look in to the ucapps.de site? Seams to me that thats not compatible to the standards set by midibox. You will have to get a special sd card adapter and make a adapter to get a J8/9 as well.

    i found a sd-card adapter to the kit i bout for only 2dollars. The J8/9 is a different story.

    This will not work! Why don't you just use the recommended STM32F4DISCOVERY board. Its available for only €15,00. Have you read this: http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=mbhp_core_stm32f4.html ?

    OKey my bad, in an earlier post i just saw the STM32F407. dident know that it was diffrent,

    The main reason was that it had the expansion-board. Less soldering for me.

    But i could use the board for my home automation projects, and try to get it to work with my Control4-system.

    And the shipping for the oleds is a few weeks so i will have time to order a proper f4discovery.

    Is there a premade breakout board or do i have to make my own?

    Hi Fredric

    Well the MB_NG is a Software you can find in the Download section of ucapps.de.

    What you need to get that wonderfull software running is just the newest core. The STM32F407.

    If you are interessted in the board i made to attach 8 OLEDs seamless have a look to vlrlab.com. The dokumentation to the VLR_8oDisp is in work and will be available soon.

    To those displays from taobao you have to check. It seams to me that there is a missing Enable line. And the Driver is not the same (SSD1106 instead of SSD1306)

    Hi again.

    Now i just got this board in the mail. It says it have the STM32F407 chip.

    Hope this is gonna work. Just waiting for the oleds.

    Hello Fred

    analog is analog... if you want to drive analog meter (Vu or PPM) you have to send your 2bus soundcard analog out to the meter (with at least buffer circuit)

    Best

    Zam

    Yes i could go from my soundcards output. But i was thinking of going from a LED-Vu meter, taking the upper leds having them send a smal puls, the lover leds sending a puls but with a resistor.

    Something like that. Goind digital to analog via led-VU. The main thing is that i want it from MIDI-out to the VU

    Hi Frederic

    You don't need the breakeout. Its just a sort of Basis for connecting different Modules.

    You can try to extract the pins you need with this schematic (http://ucapps.de/midibox_ng_manual_lcd.html) and the schematic of the Core.

    My pcb is made to fit 0.96" oleds. What size are you targeting?

    Best regards

    Novski

    I couldent fins a presolderd breakoutboard from midibox_shop so i bought a Chines one. 

    Im going with the 1.3" oleds, it no idea for me to go 0.96", i wouldent see anything.

    Hi FredericSweden

    There exists a way of configuring a MB_NG with a chain of 32 OLEDs it is described in the Wiki here: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=fadercore_-_fadermodule_for_audio_daw

    And John E. Finster is a Username of a guy who already finished his setup and made a nice Tutorial about it in the Wiki as well: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=john_e._finster

    Welcome FredricSweden to the MIDIbox forum!

     

    There is no readily available solution for what you want to do, not even on the MIDIbox NG platform. You will need to do a lot of programming, for which it will be necessary to understand the hardware concept. Honestly, it's a bad idea to start the project with purchasing some LCDs. I'd recommend you to read about the MIDIbox NG on ucapps.de and then estimate how far your own DIY skills will get you. If you feel it is manageable, then go ahead - if you feel it's over your head then honestly I would start with some smaller MIDIbox project, i.e. one that you just follow instructions for and for which you don't have to develop things yourself.

     

    Best, ilmenator

     

     

     

    Iv done some more reading, sorry for not being that up to date with the hardware and software, im i newbie but eger to learn.

    I found the PCB breakoutboard for STM32F407, but it seems that it comes without parts and i cant find a diy-kit.

    Do i need the breakoutboard for STM32F407 or can i connect the oleds according to your schematics directly to the STM32F407.

    I dont mind it being ugly or messy, this first project is more of a beta test. if it works i will try to build one or several more to a friend and studiopartner. then i want it as clean an pro as possible.

     

    Best regards Fredric

    Did you go with the 0.9"? iwas thinking of going with the 1.3" so that would make your mounting board not working for me. more soldering for me :)

    Many thx novski.

    I will order the exact same as you did.

     

    looking forward to this.

    Thx Novski.

    Its problembly gonna take me some houres of trail n error. But its not for the sake of saving money, this is my hobby. so building stuff that can be used in the studio is only win win.

    Now its just waiting for the ng-kit to come back in stock. Any body knowing when that might happen, i can only see one store online that sells the ng-kit.

     

    Best regards Fredric

    Thx. 

    I like the chalange, iv done alot of rasberry projects, but im a newbie at midibox.

    I read a thread at anouther forum saying that somebody here made a 16channel LCD controll desk. with the behringer bcf2000. But i cant find the tread. Maybe i can studdy that one and go from there, then later on make my own mods.

     

    One other cool project would be a 16ch analog VU-meter reciving midi out from cubase!?

    Hi. Im new to the midibox, i got the link from a  friend.

    Im about to build me a new home-studio.

     

    I got cubase and 2 behringer bcf2000 and one Presonos Masterfader.

     

    All is working fine. But now i want to intergrade 8 to 16 lcd displays in to my desk. 

    I want to display vu-meters, trackname/number and any outher usefull info i can get out from the mackie-midi-out.

     

    Iv seen some youtube-projects with the adurion and one lcd-display. but nothing with 8 or 16.

    If its not possible i can go with 4 lcd´s displaying sevreal tracks on the same lcd.

     

    What should i buy. My friend said that i should get a MidiBox NG.

    I have 4 4x20 hdd44780 lcds at home, but with the china-prices a can buy new models if the hd44780 is a bad lcd.

     

     

    So first of all i need to now what to buy. So i start in the right end.
