Broken

So are you trying to say that you want a software "switchable" baud rate ;) If so I myself have thought the same. Would be nice to implement multiple I/Os (COM, USB, and MIDI) at the same time without having to re-burn the chip . I believe there is a way to do it, and I think TK had started to give me some direction, but I never finished it.

Hello- I am back! Has anyone to date tested a SED1335 LCD controller with any of the boxes? I am wanting to break the barrier with small LCD's, and so far this seems to be my answer. I can suffice using it only as a navigation LCD, so speed doesn't have to be a major factor. If anyone has any info or would like to help and share some data, I will be willing to experiment. -Sephult

.....MAYBE A MIDI CONTROLLED FLAT "I think he's building the monster" :o

Has there been any ideas on making the triggers velocity sensitive? I was originally planning to split my output line between 1 AIN and 1 DIN (DIN for trigger, AIN for velocity level). As of now I am not shure if there will be any problems but I am hoping to try it out soon. I Hope this idea will help out. -Sephult

Hey! I was talkin to T.K. about starting one also, I would love to help out.

Sounds great!!! I was just going to recommend a chatroom for MB users. I will help out if NE thing is needed! -Sephult

Hello! I believe you are headed on the right track :) 2 cores (8 Mfaders each core) 1 AIN (64 analog knobs) 1 DIN (All button needs)(Encoder jog wheel) 1 DOUT (LEDs and rings) You could also make it 2 on all and seperate the load on the cores. I am unsure yet of MTC on the MIOS, I have yet to build one myself. Have fun! _Sephult

Beautiful site Smash! The only other difficulties I had were the bridges. I had cleared that up with the layout diagram on the bottom nice job! Everything works well, LTC, DIN, DOUT, and CORE. If I do find anything I will let you know :)

Hello Smash!!! Well I almost have the lot working, I initially forgot the two bridges on the LTC, had a little 7805 (mild) heatup problem, and I am finding some things that might help out others. J6 is actually J1 on Thorsten's listings (fairly obvious) :) J6 is wired in reverse so take account instead of vs-mi-mo-vd it is vd-mo-mi-vs Thought I could share some future troubleshooting :) Awesome work Smash I will definitely be ordering a lot from you soon. -Sephult

Hello Ilmenator! I myself had the same problem along time ago, I ended up shorting the 7805, and my LCD did the same. The PIC had been Killed, and my LCD fried :-[ I hope you can salvage :) Best luck -Sephult

Awesome Pulse!!!! I knew you would get it running sooner or later. :) -Sephult

I added the resistor at the +5v end of the contrast pot at VD. The reason was because my system had kept rebooting itself, maybe too much current at VD? Who knows :)

Just use a multimeter- check the ohm ratings between the pins and see if you can get the correct resistance. As for the circuit not working, Check your wiring again ----------------------------------------------------------------------- j3 on the core In normal use, the pins have to be shortened with 5 jumpers, otherwise the PIC will not run! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -Sephult

Hello! Alright. If you are only using two 4051 for analogs, (A2-A7) on the core must be grounded (you said a2-a6). All other unused pots on the 4051 must be grounded too. Have you checked all your connections on the 4051? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Interface to J6 of the core module. These are the address pins of the multiplexers which allow the MIDIbox to select one of eigth inputs, the appr. signal will be routed to the output of the 4051. Connection matrix: AINX4 J5:A -> CORE J6:RC AINX4 J5:B -> CORE J6:SC AINX4 J5:C -> CORE J6:SI ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Check these again and let me know? I am not for shure if it is necessary to reduce the number of outputs in the main.asm file, but you might try this out too. -Sephult

Also are you getting the appropriate checksums for the applications? (you can find out what checksums each program has by converting the main.hex to main.syx, using the convert program*) Are you able to get a stable checksum every time, especially using the 2048*4 @ 700 F7 Delay? -Sephult *You need to have active perl to do this, read .asm for more info.

OK! Go under devices in MIDI-OX uncheck attach midi input to midi output go to the top right cell with outputs listed drop down tree and remove the midi input from the tree Try this first and see what happens. -Sounds like a feedback problem, try that and let me know. -I'll keep checking up on the forum -Sephult

Ok. What devices are you using to teach the MB? Also what are you trying to assign them to? Have you checked your wiring on the midi socket? -Little by little -Sephult

The xstal should have some sort of rating for capacitance, this is how you know which one is correct. As for the LCD, have you tried testing the contrast pot? I am unsure about hooking it to the 5v without the PIC booted. I will test it out tomorrow and let you know. -Sephult

Yes the box wont work without the proper crystal.

Hey Pulsewidth- I believe that xstal is a series cut, I had one similar to that before that didn't work.

Hey I saw your previous post! are you using the same crystal as posted. I believe it is the wrong cut, which might be your problems. I also notice your voltage was initially way high. Did you have your LCD connected at that time? I have burned out an LCD before because of a PSU short, so maybe this will help. The xstal however looks suspicious :) -Sephult

Hey Thorsten!!! I wonder if the problem I had with the LCD and stability could be a cause for MIOS not rebooting? Could be worth a try. Hey LO! Could you try something for me? Try adding a 100 ohm resistor to the LCD contrast 5v pin. I had stability problems originally, and maybe this will help the reboot problem you are having. :) Let me know if there is any difference :) -Sephult
