[LC with 17 Encoders]

I had this idea when I realised that the Panasonic motorfaders are useless in the LC emulation(not touch sensitive).

So i though that instead of the motorfaders to have another 8 encoders that means 17 in total.

My querry is firstly are there 8 available spare connectors for the encoders and last does that need changes in the code?

Thanx

[LC EMU & DIN problem]

Hello every1

I connected the buttons as seen in the pdf (eg: default) and I get something very strange.

That is the first button was supposed to be REC READY but instead is SELECT

Any clues what I am doing wrong?

Thanx

BTW  Would you mind sending me the dxf of this so I could fluff with it for my box.

Ian

Instead of send in it to Ian just send it to Thorsten and ask him to upload it in the site. More ppl will benefit ;)

me too as well  ::)

[MIDIbox of the week (MIDIbox LC of Dawe)]

Can I order one ?   ;D

[LCD Compatibility issue]

Today I came across a Hitachi LM258 XNB 240*64 GLCD. The chips that were installed was LC7940 from Sanyo.

My querry is if this display is KS0108 compatible?

Thanx

[Any link for G-LCD 240x64?]

Hello everyboby

I ve been away for few of months but now I think I should finnish tha LC Emu.

The only problem is that I can't find any G-LCD in Greece so I have to order from EC or USA. I tried reichelt as T suggest but couldnt find the 240x64 KS0107-8 display from displaytech.

So any suggestions will be really helpfull.

If I use 128x64 I will be able to see everithing?

Thanx

[Panasonic faders]

After some research on Panasonic faders i come up with: http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/potentiometers.htm

Check the Slide Potentiometers/EVA(B)NL/EVA(B)NC which offer: Compact and 3-track version available — servo, touch sensor and audio.

The only thing is that I cant find them anywhere in Europe so if anyone knows a Panasonic dealer who can do less than 10 pieces I would like to make an order :)

Regards

Dimitris

PS. STOP WAR make music   :-/

[MIDIbox-to-USB]

I come up with this link from Russia:

http://www.geocities.com/smetanko/usbk_ind.htm

Might be usefull might not  ::) The think is it got a lot of code and schematics for PIC to USB

[Help seems to be needed]

Ok I am not that familiar with assembly, neither with digital electronics ferther than Ohms law so I think I am stack on some point.

Building a LC emulation with MIOS.

As I see in the tables.inc of the LC application I only see registers

MIOS_MPROC_EVENT_TABLE

     ;; entry 0x00-0x0f

                             ;; Rec/Ready Buttons

     MT_ENTRY      0x90, 0x00      ; Rec/Rdy Track1

The addresses 0x00-0x0f reffer to first DINX module or the first 16 pins of the first DINX. Same goes for DOUTS etc.

It might sound silly but I am really confussed  ??? ??? ???

[PIC question]

Hi Uclaros

Make that order and you will get them for free.

[tt]Item:  PIC18F452-I/P

The only think is the time required about a month... :(

[MIOS V1.1]

Well done Thorsten,

I think the configuration with two 2*40 LCDs is better but I think is cheapper to get one 128*64 :) Got to do some research.

I already got most of the parts around my deck to build up an LC I only have some (a lot maybe) questions:

The split mode for encoders: how many encoders support?

Is there a particular way of cabling all the DINX4 together to achive the right orientation of mute solo etc?

Ok enough questions for today... ;)

Regards

Dimitris

[testing]

Thats a very good price!!!

I think I' ll go wth 2*2x40 looks better than the fancy blue graphic LCD.

Regards

[LC emulation modules?]

Ok Thorsten

everythink is clear now. The mistake was mine assuming that for buttons I was requiring DOUT  ???

Anyways my mistake :-/

Thanks again

[testing]

Hi Thorsten

I just show that picture and I got to ask if you are planning to release support for two 2x40 LCDs for the LC?

Best regards

[LC emulation modules?]

I am a little bit confused.  ???

In an earlier post I made a question about the required modules and Thorsten had replied with ok but as I see now things are different  ???

The post:

http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=concepts;action=display;num=1040508092;start=15#15

I wrote :

Some rough thoughts are for 96 buttons needed 3 DOUT

Also another DOUT for led rings

1 DINX for the 9 encoders 8 for channels 1 for scrub wheel

1 AINX for the 9 faders8 for channels 1 for master.

Thorsten replied

Hi Dimitris,

your thoughts to this solution are correct.  

Only one core and the modules you've listed.

The comfusion is all about the number of DINX and DOUT modules needed.

Maybe I have to wait to see the upcoming documantaion which probably answer my silly question  :-[
