What are you up to there c0nsumer? ;D

Searching the wiki returns a hit from the FAQ, but thankyou for pointing out that flaw in the documentation, I have fixed it up now, but in future please don't hesitate to make improvements! Your input is extremely valuable, especially when you are new, because you are seeing everything with fresh, unbiased eyes.

Thanks to you both :) ...a bit over my head though ;) I'm not sure how the databank addresses relate to the C variables.

Yeh stuff that was designed for a similar purpose could be more useful... 'course it'll vary...

GDay Robin welcome aboard :) You should have a look around before you ask questions, the answers are right before you. First, click the link to the WIKI (up there^) and then the link to the FAQ, then pick the option about encoders down the bottom. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=questions_and_answers#what_s_the_difference_between_pots_sliders_motorfaders_and_encoders There are two suppliers which most people use, either voti or smash's store. Have a search around of course, but their prices seem excellent. For example an encoder from smash is US$1, so it's cheaper for me to buy it, convert the cash from aussie dollar to US, ship it here for 2 bucks (or much less really) than to buy them locally for almost $8 each. This topic should probably go in the parts archive, no big woop, but just a tip for next time. Hope that helps

Would you mind telling us a little more about this thomas?

I thought you meant just re-casing the mixer, but keeping it as a mixer... It won't work as AINs or whatever, and the buttons won't work as DINs, they're the wrong type :( Yeh, when custom faceplates cost more than an entire Behringer mixer sometimes the behringer is preferable!

Luck!

I agree. Conversations will start based on single listings and a single thread is not enough to hold several concurrent but unrelated conversations...

:o Get over it Moebius! I've been very glad for three occasions where people have posted about eBay listings which I didn't notice which have saved me hundreds... One man's clutter is another man's $400. The problem is the signal to noise ratio, and this is a tricky subject, because for some people, links to eBay listings are noise, and for some it's a strong signal with close relevance to their MIDIBox project. I think it is an excellent idea to start the eBay thread, so that the eBay posts have a good home to go to, and that way you can ignore that thread and everyone will be happy. But understand that sometimes a link to an eBay listing will be relevent outside of that thread...And just like you suggest that everyone else start a blog or search ebay for themselves, you might just have to close the window for yourself. And hey man, when people are talking about losing a lot of their hard earned money and you're saying "thanks for the laughs", well that's just plain rude. I know that you're mostly just joking (and that's only because I've known you so long), but it's not really all that funny when you work hard and save up for years and years and someone steals it all from you. Joking about such a thing is just insensitive... But I think that was your intention :(

Nice one Moebius you read my mind, I was just about to post that suggestion :)

Here, here, bring on the LED matrix... Didn't the guy developing that end up needing about 8 cores or something though? Anyway glad you're having fun pay_c :D

Thanks mate! I like that idea with the opamp, Definitely worth a shot, thanks!

Yeh it read like "Use solder or something else which is hard and won't melt" heheheh

Nice linkage thx smash! Hey illogik did you catch that one?

LOL yeh OK timber does burn, but you know what I mean, like, a lump of hardwood won't catch fire on an iron.... Maybe I'm just too accustomed to these great Aussie hardwoods that are too dense to burn?

Damn ebay bastards :( No point reporting them to eBay for the standard insurance because you've paid with money order, so yeh, all you can really do is keep pushing for the daughter to send it, and live and learn.... I had a few successful payments with western union and honestly, I had started to wonder what the fuss was about... Until the seller ripped me off on a Waldorf RackAttack that I paid $700 US for. I thought I was safe because I had his personal bank account details and even his home address in Europe, but the feds here wouldn't chase it up because it was too small an amount of money to be worthwhile starting an international arrest process. I was pissed, but hey, live and learn.... Now I ONLY buy stuff with paypal insurance, and I'll pay a bit more to buy locally if it's at all possible.... I recommend everyone do the same.

Those are great! :) If you're feeling generous it would be great if you could upload them to the 3d Warehouse! Take your time with the feedback on the seq, I know what it's like to be too busy!

Thanks Ganchan! I was going to try this method because I have access to excellent printers but I was wary of wasting paper and ink....

LOL Yeh I didn't think it was going to be worth the required investment of time, it's all good. Yeh the editing thing is a tricky one...It's handy sometimes but has large potential for misuse...I wouldn't mind so much if it went away, but it wouldn't bug me if it stayed either. Hey while I'm here, has anyone else noticed the random posts with a long empty space at the bottom? Of course I can't find one now, but I've seen a few this week.

hahah there's more plastic on those girls than your average C64 case :o LOL FuglyBox ;D

It's amazing how often an iron comes in handy :) I like that desoldering method, but I can't help but wonder about it getting too hot. I was thinking that if you could hold down the board with a lump of timber (or something else that won't burn), and keep pulling gently on the IC with your IC removal tool, then as soon as the solder was hot enough to melt, the IC would jump right off the board. The question is, how hot should the iron be? It seem to me that if it were as hot as possible, then the solder would melt quickly and allow to remove the IC without allowing time for the heat to travel up the pins into the IC? What would be perfect is some sort of heatsink that sits on all the pins at the same time, and draws out the heat before it reaches the IC...

Let's see if I can get this right :) unsigned char Scale_7bit(unsigned char evnt2, unsigned char min, unsigned char max) { // scaled value is (<8-bit random> * ) >> 8 PRODL = evnt2 << 1; // 8bit value This shifts the contents of the first variable one digit to the right. This is to treat the 7 bit input as an 8 bit input. The last bit is filled in with a 0. PRODH = max-min+1; // range This subtracts the minimum from the maximum to determine the range that the input value (evnt2/PRODL) can span. __asm This is a marker to signal the beginning of code written in PIC ASM assembly code (Not C) movf _PRODL, W This moves the value in PRODL to the working register W mulwf _PRODH, 0 This multiplies W (the input value which has now been converted into 8 bits) with PRODH (the range between min and max) * See below for details! __endasm; This is a marker to signal the end of code written in PIC ASM assembly code return min + PRODH; This adds the minimum to the PRODH (The multiple of the input and the range) } *From the datasheet: MULWF Multiply W with f Syntax: [ label ] MULWF f [,a] Operands: 0 ? f ? 255 a ? [0,1] Operation: (W) x (f) ? PRODH:PRODL Status Affected: None Encoding: 0000 001a ffff ffff Description: An unsigned multiplication is carried out between the contents of W and the register file location ’f’. The 16-bit result is stored in the PRODH:PRODL register pair. PRODH contains the high byte. Both W and ’f’ are unchanged. None of the status flags are affected. Note that neither overflow nor carry is possible in this operation. A zero result is possible but not detected. If ‘a’ is 0, the Access Bank will be selected, overriding the BSR value. If ‘a’ = 1, then the bank will be selected as per the BSR value (default)

I was just about to say that it was fixed heheh Nice spot of reverse engineering ;)
