Motorola support is gently rejected me! Is any other way to "discover" schematic for this LCD???

This will maybe sound dull, but check it! Did you isolated cristal(oscilator). I've expirienced the same problem becouse of unisolated cristal.

BTW! I use MidiBox with FL studio and i can say thet works great!

Yes you are right! The sharp chip is not part of the LCD! BTW the pager loks like this: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/restaurant-pager1.htm

There is a chip behind the LCD (not on them) named SHARP LH5168SHN! On the back plastic of LCD is the label TM4168 642.

Helo! Is it posible to use a LCD from Motorola Pager for MIDIBox? It is 4*20 character without backlight! Or maybe dotMatrix. Also, where can i find a datasheet and pin assigment for them. Anyone know the manufacturer of this LCD????

Thanx guys!

I've try to find answer on this searching the forum but i didn't find it! Is th 4.9v on the Core enought?

Yep, the links are not working well! Try this... http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/etko/photos/index.album?i=0

Martin is in right! I didn't made VectorBoards before! So i think that is theway it is! I think there is a little trouble with links (on angelfire) so try this: http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/etko/photos/index.album?i=0

I dint clearly understood but... With 1 AIN u have 32 analog inputs! You can connect as many pots or faders as you want until you reach the 32!

This is my idea for casing a MidiBox. I plan the use a old C64 case. Any tips for reusing a C64 ports? Also i would like to hear other people experience with this subject! Here are the links: http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/etko/photos/MB6406.jpg http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/etko/photos/MB64NP01.jpg

Here are a new (much better) picture for Core Module! With a little optimization this time! I don't know when i will finish the module but you can use it for your FM project! I am glad to help! http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/etko/photos/OptVector.gif And one notification: I removed the the J3 port from the scheme! A green lines are ... ehm... connected(soldered) dots on the board. Other colored wires are bridges...

And this is a link for the picture!! http://www.angelfire.com/electronic2/etko/photos/index.album?i=0&s=1

I made a scheme for Core module on Vectorboard. I will appreciate to hear if someone have tips for optimizing the scheme or notify my for eventual errors on it. And offcourse feel free to use it for your own projects. Also, if anyone have tips on this subject (making things on this boards) i would like to hear it!

hello people! Is there any way to know is SID working without puting them in SID module. Can i for example use JDM to read a data from them and chek is it in good condition???

thanx poeple!! But this not solving my problem. I try to figured out whats part in my MBHP making troubles. i made some new tests on my MB. I disconected Ain from the Core, PIC is in it , and i turned it on. PIC is with MBox64 firmwere ( test with RX and RXTX firmweres are succsesfuly done via J11 port conected to the gameport). With this situation i've got a lot of random information in MidiOX. I tested the core with LED diode on Pin 1 and Pin 3 on J11, and i've got flickering??? Can anyone tell mi where i search for problems on my core??? Is it PIC problem??? And a litel bit of tests. VirtualMB64 recognizing my Mbox, But when i send sysex to MB and then recive it again they not the same anymore?? Is it a normal Behavior??? Here is the hex befor sending: &#1088; ~C?' ?( ?) ?* ?+ ?, ?- ?. ?/ ?0 ?1 ?2 ?3 ?4 ?t > ?5 ?6 ?7 ?8 ?9 ?: ?; ?< ?= ?> ?? ?A ?B ?C ?u > ? ? ? ? ? ? < ? ? ?! ?# ?$ ?% ?& ?v > ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?w ? \NJHP!\#\$J&N(L)>+@-L/JHVTB 0P 0Q 0R 0S ? ? ? ?

HI!! I try to build MIDI controller based on MBHP. I made core(1) AIN(1) and DIN(1), and i burned firmwere Mbox64...... I have a couple of questions: I made two test about MIDI in and MIDI out on my MIDI box but i did it trough the J11 port since this tests faild with MIDI ins and outs. Test are succsesfuly done (trough J11), what is the problem then?? With led diode on my MIDI out (on midi box) trhere is no flickering, only week light (constant). Then i burned regular firmver for MB64 and i tried tu test AIN modul. I conected only one Pot on first pin of J1 port, and other i clamped to the ground . Its nothing hapen then , in reason2.5(ProppellerHeads) i dont have any MIDI activities, and in MidiOX nothing too since i activate Keybord input!! Then i get a lot of random information!!! Is it necessery to conect at least 8 pots (to use one 4051) to succsesfuly pas the tests. I tryed to send SysEx with VmidiBox64. I opened SysEX (Mixer for Reason ) send it to MIDIbox, then recive it and saved to disk. But when i compare this to files (before and after sending) there is the difrence beetween them. They are the same size but difrent content. Only is the same first ten lines of hex (and word "Mixer") but after that i think that bank is empty. VMbox 64 sayz that MBox 64 is detected. Is it a PIC problem. With JDM and IC-prog there is no problems???? regards!!!

Wher can i find schematic and PCB for MIDI adapter (gameport to MIDI) ???

Thnx for usefull informations. I tried Virtual MidiBox with Reason and it work perfectly!! Where can i find SysEx for Reason??

This is my first massage on this forum and i'm not even sure is this right place for that :) But: Does midi box work propperly whit propellerheads Reason 2.0 ?? :-[
