lol it could be a great idea any way ;D

ooohh yes!!! Thank you Rowan ;)

Well... sorry to bother you again with this Thorsten... But, I have a look at schematic, get the wiring of my display (which require a controller). I think I can try to make something with this, my only problem is that I don't really know how I can wire this to ths PIC. Using another pic is not a problem! I've got some programming skill and I think if I know how to display one pixel on the display, I will be able to make everything with it (I've already work with PC vga card, in asm... a long time ago!). So if you can give me a little help (I think with KS0103 and KS0104 pdf it will be easy) I would continued alone, and see if I can do something with it or not... Thanks! ;)

lol oué c clair ke ca n'a pas été rapide!!!!! :-/ enfin! jai hate de voir vos midibox avec tous ces encodeurs :) Je devrait bientot recevoir de koi faire mes DIN et DOUT... il me mankera plus ke les faders et ca sera (déja?) finis... mais avant, il faut ke je réglemon problème de LCD.... ???

huumm maybe it's a standard pinout for the 2x14header (I've got 2 LCD, a 2x20 and a 2X40, not the same manufacturer but same pinout...) here's a datasheet. If your device gets hot power it off!! it can damage the chip. www.siielectroniccomponents.com/lcd/ products/char_mods/pdf/l2032.pdf

Hey Thorsten, for driving 7segment, can't we use an interface made with 74sn7447 (or 7448 )? It will use less DOUT pin...

I'm making a php (faster to use HTML code interface) to this 2 script to make it easier to use! Thanks ;D

St Etienne, in France ;)

you can also replace ledring with ledbar = bargraph, yiu have to make just a "big" hole... or, as I plan to do it, you make a big circular hole, and in it you put encoder + leds (on a PCB) and put something on it... I will do it and post pic! ;)

huuumm I think if you only use 8pot, you don't need AIN at all! just plug the pot on J5 connector!

yeaaahh!!! it works! I upload the new MIOS V1.3 with it! thanks Thorsten!!!! ;D I'm going to play with it all the night! ;D

huumm pipe oki ;) I download the new MIOS now! I can upload it with the futur sysex sciprt for linux? But as I see, it's not very hard to make a simple C program for that? Thanks!! ::)

huuummm you're faster than me! I just discover that the midi port works, it's only that the SB128 (CT5880) has got no synthetizer on it. I test it with pmidi + midibox and it works. I come here to ask you how sysex is send to the midibox to write a quick code to do it! I need to upload MIOS V1.3... Still with linux : why I get error on the IF*** macro with gpasm? (in the doc it says that it can compile code for pic18f52...) Thanks! ;)

Oooohhh yes!!! thanks ;D I only unix like feeling ;) I have test cygwin some times ago... but it's still windows....:( Oki I 'm going to make my midi port works under linux (with alsa, i have still some problem with...) and test the LCD via function! I think it's the easiest way to test it! (because writing a test program will take a lot of time, as I don't know asm very well.... only x86) I'm going to work on this NOW! THANKS!!!! ;D

great ;)

huumm so I look closer to the hd44780 datasheet, and with the japanese character set (rom code A00) the a,b,c,d,e... ect Lower and Upper Case have the same code as in the european character set (rom code A02)... so? I re-check my wiring, and it's seems to be good, but I think if I made a mistake on the data bus, there will be other errors, no? Well, I try to make a test program, but it's hard because i use Emacs, gpasm, perl under linux, and then I have to boot under windows to send it with MIOX... I will be happy when the java client for uploading apps will be finish :$ And is there any way to get the display brighter? I test with putting some led in front of it but it's make no difference... I'm asking why LCD with no backlight exist! By the way, thanks Thorsten, because it's very easy and interesting to work with MIOS ;) ;D

huuummm yes... :-/ is it possible to test them with a MIOS test program (or should I write this one?) But I think it's weird that it display 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 but not 0? In the hd44780 datasheet, somme of the character are in the A02 eprom, this would agree what you said? By the way, they've got no backlight... I didn't think it was a drawback when I order them (they were "cheap"), but it's make about 4hour that's I'm looking for a way to add this... and I think it's impossible... if anyone as an idea, tell me, but I'm now looking for other LCD! thanks Thorsten! I think I'm going to test all the character that can be displayed! (my midibox LC is growing and working well ;)... with a 2x20 LCD...)

I buy a 2x40 LCD on ebay (I will ask for the datasheet), with a HD44780 chip. I plug it on the core and... It works, but some character are not the right one! 0 (zero) is a bold 'i', the x, a, p, l, e (lower case) are some weird character (I look at the HD44780 datasheet, and didn't find all of them!). the lower case 'm' is correct. All the Upper case are correct (I think, I test running the AIN example 2). Any idea??? I check the wiring manytimes, but I may be made a mistake (with no datasheet, I only found a wiring on a forum)...! P.S. : with a 2x20 LCD all is working thanks!

I'll be happy to see more pics of your LC clone (I am building one too). ;) Now you have put everything in a case?

If your 7805 gets hot it's maybe because there a short circuit somewhere! don't turn it on too long if it gets hot.. and try to find where is the error, I don't think it will be hard ;) For the JDM... Mine is working, and I think I'm lucky, because I can't do any debugging on it...

yes I think you can fix it (send us picture maybe). I agree with psytron about the "0". I think you can find somewhere to solder it with a good connection!

oui je croit k'il y avait eu un truc dessus.. mais je croit aussi k'il n'y avait aucune description poussé, non? J'ai été assez décu par Elecktor c dernière année... :( Néanmons je peux me tromper ;$ et si tu peux mette facilement la main dessus, je suis intérréssé! mais sinon, voila un lien sur une réalisation "facil" (une perceuse colone bas de gamme ne coute ke 70euro..) http://www.pathcom.com/~vhchan/cnc/cnc.html

huuumm bah pk pas, je suis bien entrain de refaire une LC ;D La seul raison pour la kelle je fait mes CI c'est que j'ai une bonne insoleuse... et ca me ferai chier depas m'en servir alors bon... surtout ke j'ai fait chier des gens pour la récupéré... (j'aurai du prendre la graveuse avec lol). Mais pour la CNC, SmashTV en a fait une et on en as parlé un peu hier soir, et il y a un moyen très simple et economique pour commencé... à voir!
