OK I'll have to D/L the MPLAB Software (I'm already scared of playing with that!)
might take a while too 56K modem! but ill try.
Are you planning on releasing a MIOS app for the motorfaders with a menu the same as the old 16F but with the calibration option?
quoting "Another important hint: the MF module voltage must be lower than on the PIC16F implementation (ca. 8V) and the AIN deadband value should be <= the MF deadband value. "
Confusion ;)
Module voltage must be lower; does this mean: Adjusting the POT on the MF board?
what does AIN deadband and MF deadband mean?
Sorry for all the questions
Thanks

Hello
several questions this time!
If I want to use the midibox link do I need to:
*Run any special firmware?
*Must it run on at least 2 18F's? or can I mix and match cores?
cheers

Hiya
OK so I got me SID & the 18F talking real nice together.
Thanks very much Thorsten!
Now I want to get the motorfaders running on the 18F.
I have tried using the calibration Program & also the 8_MF example but no joy!
Has any one run their motorfaders under MIOS yet?
The application installs and I plug every thing in but when I move a fader I cant see any data being transmitted! it worked fine under the old 16F setup so im a little confused.
Any help appreciated
TIA

I just tried installing the Houston EMU App when this is installed I can at least get midi data from the faders (although they are in mixed up order ie 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,8?) but I only have a 2x16 and no encoders so its a bit pointless!

OK....
I lost sight of my question,
So its alright to have excess amps cause it ill only draw what it needs, but what about the fact that 15v is being pushed in to da 7805 regulator, is dis a bad thing? (7-9v was recommended?)
I also wish to do the same thing for my SID & core.
Do I need to put an extra "part" in the circuit so the voltage to the 7805 is reduced? if so how?

Ian
pushing hard to reach that "YABB God" status again?
You better try a bit harder cause D2K is kicking your ass :o (even im beating you)
hehe :D

hey yeah that would be cool.
if you need the address etc give me a bell

Hiya MB'ers
quick question:
I have a 15v 3A powerpack
I wish to use this to supply 1x core with a LCD & also 1x MF module
Here's the question: Can I just connect the 15v to my core and let the regulator on the core board handle the volts down to 5v or do I need to run it through another regulator to reduce the volts to say 9V?
Im a little concerned as I do not wish my 7805 to overheat since it will be running a LCD
If anyone else has used 1 P/S to supply both boards please let me know the best way.

hi
You can only attach them to the MF's if you have touch sensor tracks.
otherwise I guess you can attach thumbtacks? I dont know the meaning of this! standard buttons is what I took it to mean.

"I was thinking If you could get a vinyl pressed with a timing code on it you could use a standard turntable... "
yes this idea has already been thought of and is called....... scratch; not very original but check it out: http://www.serato.com/products/

"but you can just connect up buttons for each fader and it will work the same... "
Im fairly sure that "T" said this was possible??!!
But like I say Im yet to get serious with them!
Might have to switch to the MIOS MF as it has a calibration menu by the sounds of it.
im a bit scared of this whole [glow=red,2,300]MIOS[/glow] thing to tell the truth! :o

I have not used the touch sensor on the core; but you can just connect up buttons for each fader and it will work the same
The firmware has a built in touch sensor ie when the fader is moved by hand for some milli seconds the fader is disengaged
Im just about to get in to using my faders seriously as my case is complete now!!!!!!! just finishing the graphics
For me this method is much better as I cannot afford ALPS faders.

when you say export do you mean print?
if so make sure the scale factor is set to 1
good luck

just go in to the view menu and disable the layer(s) you dont require

Hi
Do a search for USB on this site as there has been a lot of talk of this
However USB is too expensive.

what I mean is if you are tring to get a longer distance between your pot and AIN board
A pot with resistance other than 10K may give you less jitter
-
playing with different resistances for your Pot may give you greater distance ???

I doubt you will find anyone who will build you a midibox; this is because this project is very time consuming and when its finished you have a very personalised piece of hardware.
If you decide to build your own box (its not hard) this forum will provide you with more than enough help to get it going.
I also believe Thorsten frowns upon the thought of people selling these boxes?!
But this is just my thoughts......... ;)

just the MF extension at this stage

yeah my motorfaders are working well, no hassle to set up, and no touch sensor is no problem for me. I think perhaps they could be even better with a little fine tuning/calibration as I have not messed around with the individual speeds (I think I might need to wait until the option for calibration from with in the menu is available.)
The faders themselves have a real nice smooth action and nice long travel.
I am running 8 motorfaders. But Ian Hurlock has just got 16 of them!
Im happy tho.

I agree; the ones I have found take around 8 seconds from min to max which is pretty slow. also it would be alot of effort for something which is achieved very well with the encoders??
Would be kinda cool tho :D

OK here goes.......
LED (Light-Emitting Diode) - Consists of surface mount LED’s, which are situated in series along the bottom of a shallow plastic tray (array lit) or the edges of display (edge lit).
Life time: long, typically 50,000 hours
Simple connection +5 VDC (Anode) and ground (Cathode)
EL ( Electro Luminescent) - A thin membrane consisting of two coated electrode plates with an aluminum reflector. When AC voltage is applied to the electrodes, the electrons collide with the light emission core. The energy given off is light. Inverter (DC to AC) is used to power electro luminescent lamps.
Service Life: 1500-4000hours
