You got it right robin. I tagged the **** out of this post cause it's a good plain-english explanation of how the main loop works. People learning to write MIOS apps should read this :)

I answered the PLED problem in the other thread you asked it in. Crossposting is bad, mmkay.

Hey all, Came across this little gem the other day, thought it may be of interest to some of you... It's an SDCC 'template' app for the PIC18F458 (but easily adapted to other PICs). No use for MIOS as such, but if you're doing stuff with a PIC18 and not MIOS, this could be handy. http://szokesandor.hu/sdcc/sdcc_template.php Enjoy!

Hey dudes, Not being a linux head I don't know of how much use this is, but... http://eis.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~martyn/sdcc_linux/ Enjoy :)

I'll wiki it up for ya when it's ready

Yep... use that power for good, not evil... cause mother earth is getting molested for it ...

It looks a LOT faster than that on the video!

Groovy :) Is it driving the VF11?

Wahhhh :'( Good luck cimo!

LOL He can't be a real mac user because they never say anything bad about them :D

Step 1 - Mod clockbox to send midi pulses. C3 every 1/4 note, C4 every whole note. ** Step 2 - find the shittiest cheapest midi enabled sound device you can. That's your new metronome. Step 3 - get/make a crappy cheap 2*stereo channel mixer for your drummer's cans (no need to waste a mixer channel and rob him of the ability to control it's volume himself) ** Find this in mclock.c: if( ++mclock_ctr_beats == 4 ) { mclock_ctr_beats = 0; ++mclock_ctr_measures; } } // send clocks MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xf8); Do this: // send high metronome and set MTC counters if (++mclock_ctr_beats == 4 ) { mclock_ctr_beats = 0; ++mclock_ctr_measures; MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x90); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3C); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3F); } // send low metronome if (mclock_ctr_beats) { MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x90); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x48; MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3F); } } // send clocks MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xf8); and find this: MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xfa) and replace it with this: // send start message and high metronome MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0xfa) MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x90); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x48); MIOS_MIDI_TxBufferPut(0x3f); You could use an extra DIN (seeing as it's not done yet) as a switch to set a variable and turn it on and off. You could replace the midi messages with DOUT pulses You could put menus and stuff in, and dividers. Go crazy :) Check this code, I wrote it off the top, and into the forum, it's not tested ;)

1) Dunno. Anyone? 2) The PLEDs that Wilba and I own don't work in 4-bit mode, you need to use his custom 8-bit LCD driver as per the MB6582, which uses 4 spare pins from elsewhere. With no CAN bus needed you can probably force it to use the normal 8bit driver. I'll leave that subject up to someone who has actually built one ;) 3) Try the SRIO test app 4) The Enter key is over there on the right, under the \ and above Shift. ;D

I love it when they fix themselves, makes my life much easier ;) Seriously though I hate that... Always leaves me asking "what happened?"

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw32-make-3.81-20080326.tar.gz Try that :)

There's your problem. Lose all that new RAM, and it will die earlier, and protect the CPU :D

It's been timing out for me all day.. :'( Just came up in the last hour....

Done. Sorry Jidis, let me know if that bothers you and we'll talk about changing it back :)

I think these holes are only really suitable for light, shallow racks. Keeping in mind that the rack front panel supports it's entire weight, if your kit was a big deep heavy unit full of hefty analog like transformers, it's not a good idea... I dunno man, I've stripped a lot of threads with my hand in my time :( It's easily avoided, except when the screw must be tight, like this. There's also the risk of screwing the bolt in too far and going right through the panel - 0.5mm is not much metal. But for this light box it's no problem and looks really pretty!

I dunno, I think my eyes move fast because when I close my eyes I see a big bright blob where my screen is, no matter what colours I use :) So yeh, I can use stylish, which I already have installed here in FF, but yeh.... It should be fixed IMO. It's just changing the word "black" to the word "WindowText" and the word "white" to "Window" in the existing CSS, for the effected areas (textboxes and lists.)

Seriously, was I the only one who wondered what the context of the naked ladies was? Just the concept of it cracks me up! :D

Well let's do the math. Assuming you're scratching digital media (problematic already, but we'll ignore flaws in the audio engines and the formats ppl use ) then your sound is at 44k1. Thanks to nyquist, in order to be able to scratch that sample-accurate, you need 88k2 hz modifiers. You need two bytes to send a midi CC,so that's 196k4 bBs. That's 1,569.6 baud. MIDI is not that fast ;)

Keep in mind that my background in mixing is underground hiphop turntablism, so what I call "really fast" is simply faster than midi's baud rate... Edit: no, I don't mix, but the people around me sure did....those guys are crazy!

"Set ladies to 'stun'" ;D

LOL Well I'll tell the whole story.... I was checking out the programmer's font thread, and someone mentioned the white-on-black colour scheme. I thought "I tried that ongce and it was sh*t". Later, I was looking around for my own favourite font, I came across more and more examples of programmers opting for the colour-on-black schemes. This led me to wonder ,"why the heck?". So I did my homework. Long story short, colour on black is easier on the eyes. Being as how I spend >12 hours a day on my PC I thought "Heck, it's worth another try. I'll stick with it for a bit this time and give it a fair trial." So I did. And I really liked it. So I changed my system colours in windows. .... Most apps are OK with it, some of the apps at work are crap, and some websites go a bit mentil.... But the only one I really care about is midibox :) I could use some user-styling app to fix it I guess, but it is a bug, so I thought I'd post about fixing it up....

Well it was done out of curiousity about the manual, not the naked ladies in it :)
