1) Would be awesome if you were so kind as to put it on the wiki. You can use your same username and password as these forums, and when you are in there it is easy to edit, there are tutorials, examples, a playground page where you can do whatever you want, and I have a MS Word to dokuwiki converter script if you use office and don't want to learn dokuwiki markup (which is not that hard, it's no harder than this forum). ;) 2) Hah you reckon $1 is bad, I'm trying to find decent ones under $20 at the moment. The trick is that there's a lot of different types out there and you need to be pretty specific as to what you want. 3) Mail them and ask for a datasheet or at least the controller IC number. They are hard to come by unfortunately (WHY!?!?!?) 4) Hongkongsuperseller on ebay has big ass sheets of it, way bigger than anything else I could find, for cheap. His shipping is expensive (as with all hong kong shipping) but he's a good guy and very reasonable and if you buy a few things (like the cheap pushbuttons he sells too) then the combined shipping is not so bad. Ignore the BS rumours that revolved around his competition, I have personally sent hundreds his way and never had any problems with the gear I received or how I received it. I don't work for him or guarantee anything though, so yaknow, remember it's ebay huh. Just a thought - if you're buying a LOT of something, like in the hundreds or thousands for cheap items (like switches), or in the dozens for expensive ones (like LCDs), it often pays to visit the manufacturer's website, look up your nearest distributor, contact them directly, under a business name, and request a quote. Just don't be offended if they tell you you're small fry and they don't wanna deal with you, it happens ;)

Is it just me or did the pic disappear?

Oh that sucks man!!

Exactly. 50ms is not long enough to send 3 bytes, not nearly. Why on earth would you want to send so much data anyway? :D

Yeh nice!

Thanks TK!!

Well you should do some research into the effects of the harmonics it will create, it's quite interesting stuff. I'll save you some time and tell you now that they all sound very different and all have their place, but some will sound nicer, in a generic sense, than others :)

Ahhh OK. I think I'm too used to the hosting/admin side of things from work, and when you said they were NDR's... Yeh :P As far as stopping the emails hitting your server, you can only really check the headers, and take action against the host sending them. You might want to ask your host if they can assist in this matter, and the police... But in the end, you might not have any luck, if the spamming host is not in a country which cooperates with others on these matters. This won't stop NDR's of mail sent with faked reply-to addresses unfortunately :(

Buh... I am confused... is the spam going in or out?

This sounds like your server allows relay to anonymous clients, aka it's an open relay. It's one of the first things we turn off with all our web-facing mailservers because you can be sued as you are considered responsible for ensuring the legality of data transferred to you server. You should be able to disable relaying without stopping you from receiving mail for different domains and addresses. What server is it?

Damn man that looks niiiiice :D I like the way you guys are helping each other out, it's nice to see people being pleasant to each other (so rare these days it seems) , and the end result is a pair of super slick midiboxes :)

Hehehe those knobs are all over the place today. I have to check my lab for leaks :) I love that case! Has a real retro cassette player look about it, what on earth was it? :D

Nice :) it looks like a sprayed DIY panel, but how'd you get the round edges around the LED holes? Looks good. Nice choice of knobs, I have a few hundred of those beveled top ones, and a dozen matching jogs and a few dozen pointers... $5 a pop in Australia by the time they were shipped..ouch! Worth every cent though, they're my favourite knob, I remembered them from my days as a training pilot, and when I saw them for sale I just had to get some :) The jogwheels are US$78 though, for one knob OMG!... That's nothing though, the matching switches are US$20 each... ouch!! They look really nice with some silver to offset them, I'm using the switches, but I like the effect of the two knobs like that. Just for bragging rights, those are as used in the M1 Abrams Tank and the B52 bomber, among a few dozen other fancy destructive machines. ;D

You can't stop doing this now can you ;)

FBAP!!!!! That's great info Wilba!

AC and I have borrowed TK's code :) Hey John did you use the right ID for LTC out? I'd have thought that the midi out would've given you trouble when uploading the app?

Excellent work supcha! So I'm curious - did you have no troubles at all, or did you just find all your answers by searching?

If you want to 'limit' the modulation to the pot value then you can AND them, or if you want to 'scale' the values there is example code around somewhere, I think AC's sensorizer project is using it... Hope that helps!

I'll send you the FM chips for free (or send cash, it may be cheaper, how much for the SB16 there?) but if you really want to part with the DAC and shunt I'll give em a good home :)

You bet. I'd love a tool like that but it wouldn't really work with existing apps, and so far there are only a handful of custom apps starting from scratch. If you make an app like the one you described I'll surely be a beta tester for some future projects! ;)

Thx for the heads up mate!

Yeh it might be one for google I'm afraid.... All I know about DCB is that it's a proprietry pre-midi control protocol, an there are sequencers that output it.... But it might not give full control, I dunno :( Good luck dude!

Sorry I should explain better :) The juice is in mmd_din.inc, right at the top. It uses TK's jumptable macro to jump through the code by X lines, where X is the number of the button which triggered the DIN_Notify. In the code below, button number is in TMP1. It gets moved to W. That value is used to increase the top of stack counter, which is effectively skipping X lines of code. (Note it is limited to jump 30 lines to avoid going too far) ;; branch depending on pressed button movf TMP1, W JUMPTABLE_2BYTES 30 ; max. 30 entries rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay0Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay0Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay1Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay1Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay2Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay2Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay3Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Delay3Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp0Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp0Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp1Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp1Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp2Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp2Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp3Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Transp3Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn0Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn0Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn1Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn1Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn2Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn2Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn3Down rgoto MMD_BUTTON_Chn3Up rgoto MMD_BUTTON_ChnInDown rgoto MMD_BUTTON_ChnInUp rgoto MMD_BUTTON_ChnCfgDown rgoto MMD_BUTTON_ChnCfgUp rgoto MMD_BUTTON_BPMDown rgoto MMD_BUTTON_BPMUp So in English: Function SR Pin Delay0Down 1 0 Delay0Up 1 1 Delay1Down 1 2 Delay1Up 1 3 Delay2Down 1 4 Delay2Up 1 5 Delay3Down 1 6 Delay3Up 1 7 Transp0Down 2 0 Transp0Up 2 1 Transp1Down 2 2 Transp1Up 2 3 Transp2Down 2 4 Transp2Up 2 5 Transp3Down 2 6 Transp3Up 2 7 Chn0Down 3 0 Chn0Up 3 1 Chn1Down 3 2 Chn1Up 3 3 Chn2Down 3 4 Chn2Up 3 5 Chn3Down 3 6 Chn3Up 3 7 ChnInDown 4 0 ChnInUp 4 1 ChnCfgDown 4 2 ChnCfgUp 4 3 BPMDown 4 4 BPMUp 4 5 Of course you could rearrange that order as required...

Yep, I think the only other person mad enough to use it was.... oh yeh that was me. :-X ;D

This is related to my post from before about them being in series, button 1 is the first pin on the first SR, and count up from there :)
