you would laugh at the constuction, all on bits of boards my seq 3 is even worse, lots of ribbon cables hard wired and the switches are from an old IBM pc keyboard, works beautifully though, now I can integrate the d to a board on it now I know how to edit asms, thanks to you, I'll put some pics up,  and thanks again, Graham

Wow thanks, that was it, I was just putting the asm file on its own. I didnt realise you needed the other folders make has generated a hex file from my wordpad edited asm I am so happy I've tried most of the weekend, thanks for your help and perseverance  this is the hardest thing I've done  building the midibox seq3 was easier I guess I'm more of a hardware person thanks once again. Graham

Thanks again for your reply. I've called my asm file test and saved it straight to C drive to make it easier. i then typed cd C: // now after the green writting it says /c $  so I think I'm at the C directory and i typed make setup but got the message make: ***  No rule to make target "test. stop.  

I have MSYS, when I run it it brings up a screen like CMD but with a flashing $, don't know what to do with it? thanks again for your reply, I've ltterally spent about 5 hours reading last night and 3 this morning going round in circles and feeling totally dejected as to how I cant do a simple task

I have downloaded docuwiki seems to be a collection of files, dont know what to do with any of them.

Have abandoned MPLAB and read the  Quick Start Guide Toolchain Setup I can load the asm file in wordpad and edit and save it but which program do I need from those listed to create the Hex file from the ASM?

Been trying to use MPLAB followed some youtube videos to create a new project but when I try to build it I get the following   Debug build of project `C:\Users\gra\Desktop\New folder\tes.mcp' started. Preprocessor symbol `__DEBUG' is defined.

I thought it would be simple to convert an asm file to hex but it appears to be out of my depth.

Ive found the wiki page but cant find anything on a build environment? thanks for your help

I've built the hardware and programmed the PICs and loaded hex files from mios studio all ok but stuck on editing and saveing an asm file to a hex to load into the core.

I looked at the link but it not sure what I'm looking for?

I'm using windows 10 and have built a midi cv converter all the menus work but the Aout ng board needs to the asm file to be changed, this is where 'im stuck. thanks for your reply

Hi, I've got my hardware working but I can't find anything on how to edit an asm file and save it as a hex. I've googled it and downloaded mplab and tried to follow the instuctions and got lost, can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi, Got as far as burning the "software implemented loopback test" this worked, so I concluded that the hardware, pic and midi were all working! but still got the message that "mios wouldntt connect" tried to load a hex file and got the message "unable to connect" but it then loaded the file! I've now loaded hex files and got the core working and the display is working. no idea why mios studio says its not getting a response and can't connect but still it loads files? anyway I'm extremely happy now, thanks for all your help and giving me ideas and the will to carry on, I couldn't have done it without you so once again many thanks for your help and time responding to me.

Thanks, I will do, unfortunately my frequency meter wont measure that,  thanks again for you help
