Take your time buddy :)

Wow dude! That looks heaps pro!!

Ahh Seppo, only some people (like you and I) have access to upload ;) If you want an image or zip or something uploaded, then you can send it to "MBWiki dawt Upload aht gmail dawt com" (i hope you can see the email address there... don't want to link it and become a spam magnet) and I will upload it for you. I check the address every 5 minutes outside of business hours, and usually upload very soon after that. If you want to upload some information, please try to make it in wiki format, because I can do conversion from HTML but I am very busy so it will cause delays :(

Nice idea but there's a problem... You've got an absolute mechanism driving a relative control. If the encoder skips a step (it can happen) then you're boned :( (BTW you'd need a wheel at both ends to act as a pulley when the slider is moved in both directions) Just a suggestion - instead of trying to backlight the knob, just backlight the slot.

Rock on TK :) This may be counterproductive but FWIW I'm a big fan of Notepad++ .... I actually had the credit card out, ready to buy UE, and decided I'd better try to find a freebie before I coughed up, and this is the perfect candidate. Add the explorer plugin (which I think actually comes with it now) and compare plugin, and it does everything that UE does, but is open source and free. Similarly to TP, it has a configurable highlighter and you can share your highlighting files. C and ASM come standard. There's also output window and debugger plugins so you could compile and debug your MIOS app from within the GUI if you want (I haven't documented how to do this, as the codeblocks tutorial on the wiki has it covered) and it does search/replace with regexps and all kind of stuff that even UE won't do. Recommended.

<$500 is tax free, you must have snuck past by >< this much ;D

This guy seems capable of sorting it out ;) Yes but SID noise and soundcard noise are different... It's a matter of recording exactly what the chip puts out... Yeh I read that, I don't think he mentioned his choice of soundcard there :(

If TK's scripts don't convert those with ease, I will help you to do it manually... it's not so hard, just a bit of search'n'replace (kinda) :)

That's great news thanks TK! :) I knew someone would write that perl script eventually hahahaha

You can have just about any switch made, or find anything you want, but cost will be a shock (money, and probably time too). I found my perfect switch long ago, but they're $40 each, so I'm still searching. The present solution will be a custom run of silent and soft tact-style pushbuttons and custom made actuators, which I should be able to do for about 15$ a switch, but that's for a run of 1000+. For smaller runs (one or two midiboxes) you will find that unless you're extremely well paid, it will take you longer to earn the money than it will to make them yourself, and quite possibly it will even take you longer to find them..... So you may like to reconsider the bounds of your scope.

Oh damn I missed all the fun. OK let's play a game: All of you who have bought something from ebay and never googled it before you bid, put your hands up........

Holy crap that's dedication! This guy needs more diskspace, a FLAC encoder, and a 6582 and 6582a ... and possibly a nicer soundcard... did it say what he used anywhere?

hey great work! Tell us about the extra buttons please :D

That's theoretically OK and practically a little ambitious ;) I'd be measuring voltages in a few places over time, to see what's going on...

"We're sorry, this video is no longer available" Huh?

Welcome aboard! You will probably need to: a) Use existing ideas from here (keep searchin'!) b) Use your imagination c) Keep searching online (I'm now into my 2nd year of searching for the "right" switch)

For an example project, try clockbox and analog toolbox, and this: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/how_to_mix_c_and_asm dj3nk: Ahh there's a little more to it, but that is part of it. In this case, it may be best to have an include file that has the ASM functions in it... see above :)

Ahh this is looking much better now guys. Keep up the good work. Have you considered allowing for non-illuminated switches and separate LED's? Also, you should let me re-do the kinda graffiti style text in the logo ;)

Uhm, I thought it was: But then again: ;D

It's pretty easy... Takes a bit of getting used to, the first time.... Trick is, putting ASM in a C project is easy, but putting C in an ASM project doesn't really work out.

Direct response to you and Kartoshka: Ask once, wait for answer patiently. Don't get an answer by the time you need it? Maybe ask one more time, then find another project. Easy. Indirect response to the situation: Look, it's like some kind of a f***ed up MIDIBox tradition that this happens: Dude gets school project. Dude thinks "MIDIBox would be good, I'll do that". Dude plans poorly. ** Dude realises his project is near-due and is unlikely to be completed on time. Dude redirects frustration at this predicament towards the community. (and the oldtimers around here will tell you that it happens with surprising regularity) ** Choosing a relaxed DIY project like MIDIBox may be the first mistake. We're having fun here and might not feel like having your school deadlines imposed upon us. It is a great way to learn! I highly recommend it for that purpose... Just, maybe not in a fixed time-frame. ** Choosing a brand-new project that does not have the parts available and has only been completed by it's creator would certainly be a mistake. Fact is, if you start a project that does not have all the requirements ready and available by a deadline, and you have to meet a deadline, you blew it before you started. Step #1, is to accept that you screwed up, noone else. Congratulations, you went to school to learn stuff, and you did: Meeting a deadline for completion, means meeting deadlines for milestones, having the parts is definitely a milestone, and NOBODY - that includes SmashTV and futurlec and any store or person that I am aware of - will agree to meet deadlines for shipping parts to you. This means that you need the parts in hand before you even consider a midibox (or any electronics project) as a school project. So you went there to study EE, and discovered that there's some free Project Management training included. What a wonderful education! Now, if you are wondering if your project can be done, or if you already did screw up - it happens to us all - we're all helpful as can be around here, so if you ask for help respectfully you'll get all that you could wish for... But even that may not be enough. If you ask for help disrespectfully, you'll get even less help, and it will almost surely not be enough. In addition you may just piss someone off and start an argument which gets nobody anywhere. Oh and FWIW, I'm not talking to Kartoshka, I'm talking to all of you. Accept the burden of your own responsibilities and decisions, don't try to handball them to this community, and especially not people like Smash or TK or Twinny who hold this place together. Treat others with the respect they deserve. Or I'll use DB/El Barto's slingshot on you ;D

LOL yeh it's not like anyone will care even if you do blow it up :) I know what you mean though... Amperage brought about by differences in impedance and such, it's all voodoo to me :/

Lol Jimp/buggy.. I like your ebay-sniper-tactic adding 42 cents ahahahah Roger, 1000 posts! woooo! I thought it was a very caring 1000th post :)

Hmm I wouldn't mind hearing an MP3 of that.... But I think it's "testing", because for "troubleshooting" you need "trouble" ;D
