Thanks for the reply, Zam! I tried renaming the .ngc like you suggested, but no luck. Sorry for my ignorance, but how do I get to debug mode? I tried typing "set debug mode on" and it seemed to work, but without a LCD, where do I see it? Once again, I am very new to programming so I'm sorry for asking such basic questions! I really appreciate the help!

Hi everyone! This is my first post and my first MB project, so I will begin with introducing myself and my project then I will get into my probably simple questions. I was looking for a control surface to use in my home studio that would work with Pro Tools and found that the Avid S3 sells for about $5,000 (USD)! After I stopped laughing/crying, (like always) I looked into DIY options. First I thought of the Arduino solution, but I am awful with programming (no patience for it). I then found midibox and it seemed like the perfect fit! I am experienced with soldering and electronics (from back in the analog days), so I ordered components (Mouser) and PCBs (Modular Addict) and constructed the enclosure. So, long story even longer, here is my goals for the control surface (very simple and basic): 9 channels (probably will expand in the future) Each channel will have: 1 fader (non-motorized for now) 3 buttons (select, record, solo) 3 LEDs (one for each button to indicate toggle state) 1 rotary encoder (not sure for what yet) VU meter for each channel via OLED modules 2 LCD displays (2x40) Keeping very simple for my first build, but I am sure that once this is done, I am going to find quite a few more functions that I want to add. Here is the hardware that I am using: 1-STM32F4 core 1-AINSER64 2-DINx4 1-DOUTx4 It is also based on the MBNG project by TK. So, now that that is out of the way, I have been having some trouble that I am sure it is just me making things harder than they are. I uploaded the MBNG files to the core. I have studied the user manual and wiki very intensively for the past few weeks, but I am not having any luck with any function that I try to program! I started with the "First Steps" section of the user manual (skipped the LCD "hello world" because I don't have my LCDs yet). I put in the code exactly as it is stated, but my button on D0 doesn't send any MIDI message (according to MIOS Studio). Here is the code that I put into "Hello.ngc": RESET_HW LCD "%CHello World!" EVENT_BUTTON id=1 type=NoteOn key=36 I have also tried to get the LED on the DOUT pin D7 to come on when the button next to it is pushed with this: EVENT_BUTTON id=1 fwd_id=LED:1 type=NoteOn key=36 range=0:127 button_mode=Toggle Once again no light and no MIDI event in MIOS Studio. I know that I am probably missing something very basic and I apologize if this question has already been answered a million times, but every thing that I found so far on the forum or wiki has not seemed to make any difference. Also wanted to add that since I am new to forums in general (I'm an old timer), I am sure that I am missing some pertinent information that you guys need to see what is going on, so please let me know and I will do my best to help you help me! Thank you for all your help! videoman199
