I've given mine up for johnnie. enjoy!

Hmm... I guess that would leave channel 0 inaccessible, right?

I'll take the grey ones at least, and the rest if you don't have any other buyers. That should take the pressure off you :)

Heh, this is where it starts to get more complex... When we swapped the wires to the enable pins, the problem followed the enable line, which hinted that the problem was there... But it also caused other LCDs to start to fail, which made me think that maybe those LCDs are a bit 'funny': E2 : LCD2 E6 : LCD6 LCD6 does not animate, and sometimes LCD5, but sometimes they all work OK. The behaviour does not change while the box is on, only after it has been power cycled (turned off and then on again) E2 : LCD6 E6 : LCD2 LCD2 does not animate, and neither do LCD7 or LCD1. Again, this behaviour is constant, until the box is power cycled, and then sometimes they will work and sometimes they will not... I should also mention that there were some interesting bugs noticed with these screens with the inbuilt MIOS CLCD driver, like if we send a certain string, it caused LCD 0 2 and 4 to fail thereafter. Sending a different string in it's place, everything was OK.

small finger? Must be a German joke... actually, I probably don't "get it" because I'm stupid :D So can someone tell me why this is bad: void Timer(void) __wparam { count_l++; } ...... void DISPLAY_Tick(void) __wparam { if (count_l>=animspeed) { count_l = 0; ++count_h; } if (count_h) { count_h = 0; MIOS_LCD_CursorSet(0x00+animhere); //1st line MIOS_LCD_PrintCString("X"); ....etc I must be missing something cause that looks OK to me?

Ahhh so this would be the exact part you want right? http://www.richco-inc.com/group_details.asp?seccode=500&grpcode=L1090 I'll poke around my local stores and let you know if I get a hit... I assume you already tried mouser, digikey and farnell? They always seem to have one of everything...

I'm not sure what you mean :(

Yeh it used to be a bit more "clear" (aka blunt) but wilba softened it up and now it's not so "clear"...now Wilba knows why I'm always "clear" (aka blunt) Err I think that was me ;) (said something about wait until the humans do something stupid)

Heh yeh I wouldn't do this in a real app for sure :D However I thought it'd be safe to increment the counter in a timer so long as it was atomic?

There is an information overload for sure, but as far as purchasing parts/pcbs/kits/etc goes, there's a really good post HERE by Wilba which is a sticky and explains it all :) heheh

Dude. did you read the thread?!

There's no phase difference between the channels, just a delay on one... Didn't we already do this?

Hey nibbles....Here have a bunch of questions: :D Have you been able to upload other apps previously? Are you using the latest version of MIOs studio in smart mode, with "wait for request"=on? Did you paste those log messages or did you type them manually? (I already know the answer to this, but I'm making a point.) Where did the hex file you uploaded come from? What's your power supply? Have you disconnected all other modules so it's just the core and the lcd? Have you tried disconnecting the LCD backlight? What's the PIC you got from smash? Did it have MIOS installed or just the bootloader? What version? Have you done the midi troubleshooting?

MIDIbox has a unique license. Maybe, but using TK's code in a closed source project is a can of worms. Anyhow, let's not go there, doing an external box is surely the best way here anyway.

I don't think there's really a need for it. If you're in a big rush you can just ask nicely and I'll make time for you :)

Try the PDFs man :)

Well it *could* still be automated but that's a spam magnet ;) (pop3 client downloads mail, extracts attachment, and uses wget to upload it to the wiki) Plus this way we can put it in an appropriate namespace.

FYI, SP3 is known to have some problems..... None of our customers are rolling it out after the dramas with the first rollout.

Welcome aboard, and welcome to DIY! hahaha I'm afraid there's only one thing to do here - search until you find the parts that are right for you. I wish there could be an easier way, but unless everyone built an identical box, it wouldn't work.... Aside from the parts mystery, you're doing ace, keep it up and good luck :)

Wicked man.

You need mine, because I am the king of the mountain.

Awesomeness.

Sorry narwhal I've been developing stuff and doing graphics and 30 tabs open all day... it's crazy here... I'll up them within the hour.

Email them to MBWiki.Upload@gmail.com and they will magically appear on the wiki. This reminds me: on Friday I found some VERY old files thet were emailed but never uploaded - they'll go up shortly; if you're one of these people I apologise! Had PST file corruption last year and lost them :(
