Hallo Bernd, "nur" ist ein wenig uebertrieben - kommerzielle Loesungen arbeiten sehr oft mit einem Microprozessor pro Fader. ;-) Ich bezweifle, dass sich mehr als acht Fader von einem Core adaequat ansteuern lassen, zumal ein Multiplexer die Signalqualitaet, und somit die Aufloesung verschlechtern wuerde. Ausserdem habe ich im MIOS Konzept 8 Motorfader maximal eingeplant (weil sie wesentlich mehr Register zur Zwischenspeicherung der verschiedensten Werte belegen) - da ist wirklich nichts zu drehen. Ansonsten: lies mal die Beitraege von ThomasT zu diesem Thema, er bastelt gerade an einer 4-core MIOS Loesung fuer seine Mega-Faderbox Gruss, Thorsten.

Fein :) Noch eine Anmerkung zu Deiner urspruenglichen Ueberlegung: Wenn man auf den Push-Button drueckt, wechselt die MIDIbox auch automatisch in das Filtermenu - hieraus ergeben sich zwei Moeglichkeiten: entweder Du steppst mit dem Button alle Kombinationen durch, oder Du waehlst sie mit dem Menu-Encoder direkt an (der Cursor befindet sich automatisch an der richtigen Stelle). Aehnlich funktioniert es auch mit den anderen Buttons/Endlosreglern, sobald man sie bewegt, wechselt das Menu umgehend in die entsprechende Ansicht, so dass man die aktuellen Werte auf dem Display sieht und sie mit den Menue-Buttons/Encoder optional direkt im Menue aendern kann. Die Bedinung ist also bereits ziemlich ergonomisch (zumindest fuer meinen Workflow ;-)) Vielleicht solltest Du die Elektronik erstmal auf eine Pizzaschachtel o.ae. montieren, bevor Du mit dem Gehaeuse anfaengst - so kannst Du das Default-Handling in Ruhe ausprobieren und Dir spaeter ueberlegen, welche Aenderungen fuer Deine Version sinnvoll sind. Gruss, Thorsten.

RTFM... Best Regards, Thorsten.

Unfortunately the crystal can only be checked with a scope... the frequency is too high to get a meaningful value on a common multimeter. Reset: it sends a short +3.3V pulse during power-on and should be low (0V) thereafter. Did you every use a USB device with your PC? On some mainboards not all USB plugs are enabled by default, maybe you only have to change this in your BIOS setup. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Aha, a completely new message? How should somebody know what was going on based on your initial question (which pointed to another direction: missing files)? ;-) No, this isn't right, the -os_upload option is reserved for myself - never use it, otherwise you will overwrite MIOS. The warning message notified that you possibly inserted a file (like lcd_app.inc) before mios_tables.inc - this is wrong - code has to be inserted behind mios_tables.inc Best Regards, Thorsten.

More details please - how and where did you assemble the file? What is the new filename? Do you see the file in the command shell (try the "dir" command)? Best Regards, Thorsten.

A very useful tool - thanks a lot! How about this subdomain: http://lcd5x8char.midibox.org :-) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Since the MF driver allocates all 8 analog inputs of the PIC, and the AINX4 multiplexers cannot be used in parallel with the MF module, the only way is to build a second core module. Best Regards, Thorsten.

It will be available before you've finished your MIDIbox ;-) Some users like Dan reported that the Panasonic faders are already working fine, some others noticed problems. So I guess that only a minor change (e.g a different acceleration behaviour) will be required. I will try Steve's Panasonic faders after I've finished another project for which users are asking since months - take it easy... sooner or later everything will be perfect. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Tub, 1: the menu navigation for common MIDIboxes requires 4 buttons, sure they are connected to a DIN module. You should also add some additional buttons to handle with "special button events", e.g. to quickly change into a submenu or to select another bank. Also additional LEDs above or below the buttons could be usefull which show the status (e.g. if you are using Bank Select buttons, to show the selected bank, or if you are using a Shift button with hold function, to show if the first or second layer is active). They are also useful to control your sequencer via remote (e.g. Play/Stop/Rew/FFwd/Rec button) I would suggest at least 12 additional buttons + LEDs (LEDs are not required for the menu navigation buttons) 2: not without a second microcontroller and a special firmware which communicates with the MIOS core (e.g. via IIC). Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hallo Bernd, Du benoetigst auf alle Faelle MIOS. Theoretisch ist diese Konfiguration mit einem Core machbar, aber leider gibt es noch keine fix und fertige Applikation dafuer - Du muesstest dir also entweder aus den Programmierbeispielen selbst etwas zusammenbasteln, oder auf MIDIbox NG warten (Infos zu diesem Thema in ein paar Tagen...) Benoetigte Module: CORE mit PIC18F452 und 10 MHz Quarz, 4 x DINX4 (2 DINX4 fuer die Encoder - kaufe sie lieber bei Schuricht, dort sind sie billiger - 1 DINX4 fuer die Kurzhubtaster, und 1 DINX4 fuer die 8 Taster),1 x DOUTX4, 1 x MF Gruss, Thorsten.

IIC chips are connected in parallel. The include file has to be inserted below "mios_tables.inc" Best Regards, Thorsten.

MIDIbox LC provides some additional functions which are not available on the original, one of this is the "layer" button which switches to another button/LED group. In this way you can save some buttons! Every group consists of 128 button and LED functions --- see lc_io_table.inc, LC_IO_TABLE_LAYER0 and LC_IO_TABLE_LAYER1, this is the default setup, but of course: you can rearange the events if you want. You will find the save, undo, group etc. function in the second layer. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Sure, should be possible. Some more words to "MIDIbox NG" which will simplify the implementation of a modular controller in the next days... Best Regards, Thorsten.

See also http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=mios;action=display;num=1061251988 The low level IIC driver is now open for applications (officially supported with MIOS V1.4, preliminary version available for download) and can be used to access other IIC devices. Sure, you can connect as much IIC devices as you want to CORE:J4, the transfers to the BankSticks are not affected. The high-level driver for those digital pots has to be written by yourself (it's so easy like sending MIDI events) and will not be integrated into MIOS. Just write the code it into a .inc file so that it can be re-used in other applications. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Which functions do you mean exactly? Best Regards, Thorsten.
