I've done that too :D I was like "holy crap it actually worked!!!" heheheheheh

Hey dudes... I'm about ready to release some tunes I've been working on in the lab, it's somewhat political in nature, and well... I'm not sure I can spit some of these lyrics without winding up in Guantanamo Bay.... Aside from paying a fortune for a lawyer (I'm too underground to afford that shit) and aside from drawing attention to myself by asking the Police... does anyone know a good way to find out what's legal and what's not? I don't mean as far as censorship goes, I mean as far as the feds go.... Any advice appreciated :)

Thx Illy :) I'll check it out ...

Honesty: You're mad if you start a graded project based on v2, it's not done yet, it might change as it has already, and it will be ready when TK is done with it, and of course there is a chance, however slim, that it might not be done in time -meaning you will get a big fat F. Do an FM instead ;) My 2c. See my current signature for more info hehehehe

I have deleted your crosspost. @All: Please be aware that crossposting will result in me deleting whichever one I deem to be least appropriate. Sorry but you're making a mess!

Awwwwww. I like the crochet rug! Now that's DIY :)

Yeh well obviously if you want to spend a mint you take it to a pro like I mentioned at the end... but you don't *need* to do it in a vacuum, as flownezz demonstrated to me and proved me wrong when I said the same thing (actually I said a 'clean room') :) If you have access to a datacentre that might be better than you shed of course hehehe

Actually for me it's never behaved so well! I still often get the message about the post timing out and have to click again, but I've noticed that it no longer logs me out all the time which is nice... Maybe I can help if you give an error message! :)

It changes the linearity of the cutoff curve... Something about the output of the filter being the product of the audio signal passed through each cap compared with each other... I've got a bookmark somewhere... Mike? ;D LOL

Wow that totally sucks, my sympathies dude. Given that the drive is toasted, I'd get a screwdriver and open it up and see if you can fix it mechanically. I know what you're thinking, that will never work, but my friend Flownezz did it once and it worked. You've got nothing to lose. And people learn this: When it comes to data If it doesn't exist in three places, it does not exist! I just wanna find a nice bit of software that will sync up directories on separate machines/drives easily. We use rsync and/or dataprotector at work but they're ugly and expensive respectively... What sasha just said is a total echo of my situation.... And hey don't feel bad, a big multinational I support had something similar last week... of course the tapes had been degaussed by the courier as well. A few thousands later and it was in a lab in the states getting rebuilt....

OK well we certainly can do multiple displays from there with the 6676's serial IC, and having checked the timings I think that it should be good... I hope someone could give it a critical look before I go and spend a bunch of dough an a few? My primary concerns are electronic right now (voltages etc) and I'm crap at that stuff. Thank in advance midiboxers!

My pleasure. That site has been around since like forever too. I owe the name many hours of my time ;) OT: IMO the best thing about that site is it's name - The MIDI Technical Fanatic's Brainwashing Centre. ;D Edit: I just realised my link above skips the frames. You should start at http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/ LMFAO

MIDI Time Code That site is THE place for info on anything MIDI

Wicked :) If it works for velocity, then it will be using evnt2, so just replace that with for evnt1, and it will be using the note number :) Dave: Nope :( I'm still wanting to find time to try --extended ;) ... and find a version of the doc old enough to tell me what --fstack was before they removed it hehehe

TK, I know that you probably don't have time to check this IC out, but I wonder if perhaps you could give a very short description of what it is about the PCD8544 IC that you like so much? I know it has the vertical orientation of the bytes (like this http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_glcd_vertical.gif), so addressing is done in pages, and the X address automatically increments after a write... Is there something else that makes it so special? PS, Thanks for your work on v1.9e man :)

Wel that'll be because it's not defined. This is the same answer that you have been given before in this thread and that you saw in the other thread. Use evnt1 like instructed before, or try this: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // This function is called by MIOS when a complete MIDI event has been received ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// void MPROC_NotifyReceivedEvnt( unsigned char evnt0, unsigned char evnt1, unsigned char evnt2) __wparam { unsigned char pin; pin = evnt1; // a note event provides 128 different note values (0..127) // in this simple example, each note sets an individual pin // for DOUT pin numbers, see also this documentation: // http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_pin_list.txt if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt0 == 0x90 ) { // 90 xx 00 is the same like a note off event! // (-> http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm) if( evnt0 == 0x80 || evnt2 == 0x00 ) { // Note Off MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 0); } else { // Note On MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(pin, 1); } } } I would also recommend that you read The C Book, you can find it with a search of the forums here.

Yeh, you forgot to put the error in your post ;)

;D ;D ;D ;D Avast LMFAO!!! Maybe it's because I have been working on-call all night and it's 5am and I've gone a bet mental from watching networks go up and down, but I can't stop laughing at that!

Well, posting in year-old threads may not help, especially when they already put the answer there ;) Cross-posting like that is generally considered bad netiquette, it just creates confusion... Maybe you should try some troubleshooting... Try hardcoding a value in there... MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(32, 1);

Yargh, that be a mightily fine lookin panel, me hearty! Yaaaargh, filthy humour ahoy! Keel-haul that there scoundrel! *splash*

Hi all, I have found a GLCD driver which seems like it may be very well suited to midibox apps. I've spent quite some time checking this out oevr the last week but would love to get some input from those of you in the know.... OK so here's a little story ;) This is going somewhere... Short version: NJU6676 in serial mode seems very similar to PCD8544, TK's favourite driver, and the displays that use it are awesome. I was playing around porting the PCD8544 driver to C wrapper compatibility (see my recent request for some help with perl ) TK's notes on this screen pointed me to this sourceforge page While there, I thought "Maybe there are other screens like this one, TK really likes the driver, but I want a nice looking one with a backlight" This led me to the Nokia 7110 LCD which uses the SED1565 driver IC. I checked it out, and it looks to function in almost identical fashion to the PCD screen in the other nokias... Rather nice. This IC is now called the S1D15605... here's a datasheet Alas, the 7110 is quite popular, it's also known as 'the matrix phone', so it's not cheap... So I went searching for another display that uses the IC, and read about the Optrex 323 which again is very similar... It used another SED15xx IC. There was a mention of the same SED IC on this forum and TK seemed optimistic, so I thought I should keep going on this little journey. Again, I see the name optrex... so I go to visit their site again, despite having been there already and not finding the 323. While I was there, I saw these STEP Line of STN Displays which have a huge contrast ratio, and I immediately thought that they might be a suitable replacement for the PLEDs we all love but can't buy. Turns out that they use the NJU6676 IC (Datasheet (PDF)) and as you can see from this document, Function tables (NJU6676 vs. S1D15605 ) they use almost identical command structures. This little beauty and it's other colours are about USD$30-35, which is pretty cheap, and they will run in parallel mode like the KS0108, or in serial mode like the PCD8544... Which makes me wonder if maybe they might be almost as high-performance as the PCD8544 screens (I say 'almost' because the addressing uses 1 more bit for the larger sizes and the timings require 50ns more).... Maybe we could connect a few of these to one core without performance impact? So what do you think guys? I've done about as much homework as I can here :) Heres the PCD8544 datasheet for your reference... [me=stryd_one]stands back and looks at the smart guys for answers :)[/me]

I thought that too but I don't know about the MBCV from experience and am a bit busy to check the code... Anyone know?

void MPROC_NotifyReceivedEvnt(unsigned char evnt0, unsigned char evnt1, unsigned char evnt2, unsigned char pin, unsigned char value) __wparam Hah where did ya get that from? should look like this: void MPROC_NotifyReceivedEvnt(unsigned char evnt0, unsigned char evnt1, unsigned char evnt2) __wparam then do: MIOS_DOUT_PinSet(evnt1, 1)

LMAO! Actually this reminds me of a page I saw on making panels for cockpits... There's this kind of method http://www.mikesflightdeck.com/center_pedestal_4.htm http://www.hanskrohn.com/BuildingTips/Backlit_Panels/Backlit.htm http://members.chello.nl/koop/instruct.htm but there was another I saw where they used a paper printout stuck to a layer of plywood and laquered it up... turned out nice as, and super cheap...Of course the page is in my history and I can't find it >:( I meant to post it here too, darnit!
