Hi, ok, I merged your changes from main.inc into my code, but for me this doesn't work! After uploading and while rebooting the GLCD shows "Rebooting MIOS", but doesn't switch to "MIOS v. 1.9g" and shows only some additional random rubbish later. After switch off and on again - GLCD is complete blank. My code in main.inc: USER_Init ;; select LCD type #1 (KS0108) movlw 0x00 ; if 0: non-inverted CS, if 1: inverted CS# movwf MIOS_PARAMETER1 movlw 0x00 ; here you could forward an additional parameter movwf MIOS_PARAMETER2 movlw 0x01 call MIOS_LCD_TypeSet bsf MIOS_BOX_CFG0, MIOS_BOX_CFG0_USE_GLCD ... Hope that helps, Stefan

I have a very weird Pic18F4620 here: It looks like pic can't establish a correct midi connection to my midi2usb board - I have 3 core modules each with pic - all 3 pics have the label 1109040 on top - two of my pics are working correct on each socket and can establish a midi connection and I can upload mios applications - for the third pic it doesn't matter which core I try, I can see hex sequence (f0 00 00 7e 40 00 01 f7) every 2 second -> but I can't upload anything - for this Pic I get a valid connection in MIOS Studio only, if I'm using two different MBHP USB Ports which could not be correct (see picture: MidiOut should be at MIDIOUT2) - it also doesn't matter on which MBHP USB port I'm connecting this Pic (both other pics are always working correct) - I can use a Pic 18F452 too and it works correct So, for me it looks like a hardware bug/failure... Did anybody have the same behaviour anywhere? Bye Stefan

Hi, this is not so easy because I have a lot of customization in sourcecode. (I have 3 MidiBoxLC units in one device each with a special configuration and some extra pin mappings and so on) But, of course I can try to compare/merge your changes from version 1.6f to give you some feedback. (I think I need some days, looks like a busy week, but I will post if I'm ready) Buy Stefan

That's it :smile: Thanks for all the cool stuff... ... and a nice weekend! Stefan

Yeaahhhh, I can see now the initial Text "Logic control emulation ready. ... " (it is still in wrong format: there are some additional spaces between (see picture), but that I will check tomorrow) Thanks Stefan

Hello, I'm trying to run upgrade MidiBoxLC v1.6e on a PIC18F4620 with MIOS v1.9g. But after many ours of struggling, searching the forum for answers and testing some settings, I didn't find a way to get the glcd running. If I compile and upload the hex file, it looks like as if the ram for the fonts was overwritten (there is only rubbish at glcd). MIOS Studio says: Reading setup_midibox_unit0.hex Trying to contact the core... setup_midibox_unit0.hex contains 18860 bytes (75 blocks). Range 0x00003000-0x00007aff (19200 bytes) - PIC Flash Upload of 19200 bytes completed after 11.37s (1.65 kb/s) So, it shows that area 07cfc-07fff (where MIOS font is stored) is not affected. - I can upload app Mios example app lcd7/ks0108 and I get the correct welcome screen. So this works. - I can upload my compiled MidiBoxLC and pushing buttons or touching faders are producing midi events I can see in MIOS Studio. Things I've done and/or tried: - copied app_lcd.asm /.ins/.lcd from projekt lcd7/ks0108 into MidiboxLC folder modules/app_lcd/dummy/ - In Makefile.org: set PIC to 18F4620 - I also tried to edit file p18f4620.lkr in MIOS_Base/etc/lkr to split memory page as shown in http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=using_pic18f4620 but this doesn't work for me. And now I need an idea which setting I am missing ... Thanks for any advice, Stefan

Hallo, ich hab jetzt angefangen mich mit dem C-Wrapper zu beschäftigen. Wenn ich ein damit generiertes fertiges Hex - File hochlade, dann sind die Zeichen so breit, das für eine reguläre Zeile mehr als 1 1/2 Zeilen auf dem LCD benötigt werden. Die Zeichen und Buchstaben wirken auch alle viel breiter. Beispiel: Mit dem "project.hex" - file aus der "LC Ver 2 Alpha" wird die Eröfnungszeile ("<--- LC Emulation ready. --->" usw. ) auf zwei Zeilen umgebrochen. Kann dieses Verhalten noch jemand nachvollziehen? Ist für das KS0107/KS0108 -basierte LCD noch eine weitere Einstellung in einem Header nötig? Oder woran kann das liegen Gruß Pearl

Hi, I found the wrong line in main.lst and replaced "rgoto" with "goto" and now everything works fine. Thanx for your hint ... :-) ;-) Bye Paerl

Hi TK ... I didn't writing anything in C , but I got advanced skills VB/VB.Net . So I think, I want to try the beta and will learning by doing. ;-) Another question to my problem: Are memory limits or limits of "branch" and "jumping" in assembler the reason? My additional code is OK in "LC_1_5". I work with my LC one year. Thanx and bye Pearl

Hi there ... Today I tried to update my LC - Application to Vers. 1.6 by copying all my personal modifications to the new source files, but after compiling, I got a similar error as in the past: "Error[126]Â Â E:\MIOS\SW\LC 1.6\LC_1_V1_6\MACROS.H 161 : Argument out of range (1044 not between -1024 and 1023)" What's the meaning of this error-message? And how can I solve this problem? I didn't changed anything in "Macros.h"! Thanx and bye Pearl

Hi TK ... Cool, Iwill try to integrate this in the next days :) Bye Pearl

Hi there ... Because I didn't find a way to control the MasterVolumen in CubaseSX-GenericRemote, I want to try to integrate an encoder in my MidiboxLC to control the LC-MasterVolumen (usually controlled by one Motorfader). Is there an easy way (means some additional code in "enc.inc") or is this more complicated ? "No Touchsensitiv" is not a problem for me. Thanx for any ideas ... Bye Pearl

Hi there ... Ok, it's definetly a hardware-problem. I tried a new CoreBoard and everything is OK. But I can't find any mistake on the other board (same layout/same charge) . Bye Pearl

Hi there... Testing my second MidiboxLC-Unit, I got some strange "DIN" - behaviour. On the first 4 Shiftregister are buttons they produce very much On/Off - Events when I push the button, instead of one NoteOn when" pushed" and one NoteOff wen "pulled". Here a little overview : x = button doesn't work m = button has much events o = button works ok 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1. Shiftregister |m|x|m|o|m|o|o|o| 2. Shiftregister |o|m|m|m|o|o|o|o| 3. Shiftregister |o|o|m|m|o|o|o|o| 4. Shiftregister |m|m|x|m|o|o|m|o| 5. Shiftregister seems to be ok I got an idea that there is a shortcut to clock-line but i couldn't find anything. :-/ Thanx for ideas what's wrong Pearl
