You know, for the price of the parts for a project like this you could probably just buy a cheap velocity sensitive midi controller from eBay....

You write Go to this page Hehehe

I am very interested... I don't think I'll make it myself (BLM for me), but it's great to watch nonetheless :)

Andrea it would be great if you could post the code here or in the wiki :) The thing about the "adding a 0" when you had 9 variables, was also brought up in another thread talking about storing information on the bankstick... It turns out that when using the 'db' directive, the data is stored in a 16bit word with two 8bit values packed together.

I do it more like glitched's way, only I hold about 5mm of the end of the cable in a small vice before I crimp, and then cut the extra bits off the end. Quick and easy and effective, but maybe a little wasteful.

Just be in the chatroom when MTE and I are there and you'll get to know heaps of annoying things about C ;)

You're on the right path, just grab a copy of the datasheet for the PIC, and play follow the code. If you convert the hex values to binary (you can use something like PMACalc if you don't like doing it in your head) and look up the registers in the datasheet, it will all make sense.

Yeh it's top stuff Rio :) I know that it was a 'necessary evil', but I hope that in the near future, the SJ libraries can be un-forked. If I can help you guys get it back to one, just say the word. I don't know how he missed it, given that if you search for the word SpeakJet on google, midibox.org is 12th hit... and 13th and 14th and 15! ;D All hail midibox :)

Thanks for the update TK! I had a gut feeling you would decide to simply remove the 595 :) Hope you kids are having fun ;)

If you put the 452 back in there does it work OK? Did you add the pull-up resistor (R12) for the IIC modules? Have you performed the midi troublehooting? Did you try re-uploading MIOS and the seq application?

That's right :)

Hey seppo what kind of deviation did you measure in real life?

You don't **** around do you? ;D

Hi jwrigh10, welcome aboard :) I hope that you don't mind that I have split your post off from the original so that we can pay attention to your specific issues with this PCB. Firstly, it is wise that you checked the voltages, but I probably would avoid seating any components such as the PIC or LCD when you know that your voltages are so high. Assuming that your 'wallwart' is putting out 7.5V like it is supposed to (I assume that, you should check!) from what you described, it sounds like maybe the 7805 is not doing it's job, maybe it's fried.... but even the rectifier should drop the voltage a little... It does sound like there could be a short. I assume you have run these two tests from http://www.ucapps.de/howto_debug_midi.html : mbhp_core_extract_measuring_gnd.gif mbhp_core_extract_measuring_vdd.gif Check those out and let us know....

Go team!

The AOUT_NG is 8x12bit (8 gates), AOUT is 8x12bit (2 gates), the AOUT_LC board will do 8&8 or 12&4 Still want the old module? ;)

I like it!

Thanks mate :) This kind of information is best stored on the wiki, like this one: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=hd44780_compatible Perhaps you could make another page like that? You could link it from here: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=graphical_lcds Thanks again!

LOL ;D well I'm glad it gave you the idea, 'cause I completely spaced! I think that my mistake here can be a lesson to all the newbies reading this forum - if you rush, and don't pay attention, and don't bother to take your time and reaaaad, then you will make mistakes, no matter how much experience you have....

I like your nick ;) Welcome aboard.

Ahh this is one of those moments where we both should smack ourselves in the head... from the very same documentation I referred to above, and read before I posted (no really I did!): DB – Declare Data of One Byte 5.13.1Syntax [<label>] db <expr>[,<expr>,...,<expr>] 5.13.2Description Reserve program memory words with packed 8-bit values. Multiple expressions continue to fill bytes consecutively until the end of expressions. Should there be an odd number of expressions, the last byte will be zero Shoot me now. Edit: ARGH I actually posted the answer!!

MMM frontpanel. One please. ;D

http://www.midibox.org/users Some hidden treasures there ;)

I searched for an hour for that image, and found squat :-[ LOL star-like, starlike, star like... here...the wiki....google... nothing. Thanks MTE :)

Excellent :)
