Hi Steven, it's difficult to qualify the behaviour of your motorfaders from this distance, but if they don't stutter and when they are moved smoothly, the settings are ok. In fact these are the values for my own faders :) the driver doesn't prevent this. But if the hit is too intensive, it's maybe better to lower the motorfader voltage (it should be around 7.5V and 8.5V) before using the mouse it's maybe better to assign the ID_FADER_TOUCH_CHNx functions to 8 different buttons. Another trick: you could assign them to the alternative layer in order to re-use 8 existing buttons. Workflow: select the alternative layer, press the button above the motorfader you want to move, move the fader, release the button. Best Regards, Thorsten. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Would be a nice solution. If possible, we could also try to mirror the ftp site (redundancies never hurt) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi LO, I will check this in the next days, it should work in this way! Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Icam, the link you mentioned is no free source for datasheets :-/ Ian, if you read this: you don't know a manufacturer of LCDs in China, no? ;-) Best Regards, Thorsten.

-14.36V? Thats great! It means, that you don't need a second PSU, the DC converter is already integrated. Does the display also work if nothing is connected to the Vlc pin? Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Dan, in theory it already works by enhancing the hooks which already have been integrated into the application code (for example lc_menu.inc, function CS_MENU_SendParameter and CS_MENU_GetSIDBase), and by enabling the MIOS_MIDI_MERGER_MBLINK_FP mode, but in practice I should better test this before distributing the changes. ;-) Selection of SID: either from the main menu, or via a dedicated button + 4 LEDs. However, MIOS V1.2 is not far from completion, thereafter my head is free again for applications (maybe this weekend) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Than lower the pull-up resistor for the button, than better the result. I would recomment 1k Best Regards, Thorsten.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a datasheet for the LC7981 - does anybody know where to download it for free? Also alternative sources for 240x64 displays (KS0108 or HD61202) would be interesting, because these are the fastest controllers for customized fonts and icons! Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi, yes! From the PIC18F452 datasheet Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Darren, if others are interested, we could add the text to the "HowTo create a PCB" page. :) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Dan, very good progress! :) Yes, the smoke identifies a short circuit. Maybe (if you have luck!) the not well documented Vlc pin has to be used on a different way. Could you please disconnect the pot and check the voltage level between Vlc and ground? If you've luck, the DC converter is already integrated and you only have to connect a pot between Vlc and ground. Another interesting point would be if the chip select lines are really inverted. Check this by using LCD type 1 with MIOS_PARAMETER = 0x00 (and not 0x01) Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi Pilo, the problem with this programmer is, that it uses the low-voltage programming mode and therefore allocates pin RB5, which - once the mode has been enabled - cannot be used for any other purpose anymore. Consequentialy you cannot drive a LCD module, which requires RB5 as data pin. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi DriftZ, I'm pleased to hear that you've joy with the sequencer. :) LEDs: it seems that you've connected the LEDs in the wrong direction, therefore the status will be displayed inverted. The shorter pins of the LEDs are the cathodes - they have to be connected to ground. The longer pin (the anode) has to be connected to the appr. DOUT pin No, mute steps cannot be saved, because normaly it's usefull to mute tracks or steps for all patterns (-> global option) Saving: the current pattern (all parameters) will be saved automatically when a new pattern is selected or when the sequencer jumps to a new pattern by itself. Additionally the track configuration settings are saved when you leave a menu page. Yes - if you want to ensure that the whole pattern is stored in EEPROM before switching off the box, the best way is to go into the copy submenu and to save the pattern over itself For the SysEx menu it is planned to send the current pattern to another MB64seq or to MIDI-Ox, or later to an editor. Unfortunately only the SysEx transmit routine is working yet, the receiver has been disabled as I first want to realize it with the MIOS solution. The code will be transfered to the PIC16F project later. Have fun! Best Regards, Thorsten.

and with MIOS it would also be possible to drive a nice graphical LCD, to add meters for the HiFi channels, maybe also a spectrometer... and a remote control of course :) Here some impressions of a preamp project I realized ca. 10 years ago with a 80c535 Best Regards, Thorsten.
