Hey there illustrious moderator/site hosting type dudes :) I noticed a behaviour of the forum which I don't like so much, and I thought maybe I could suggest a possible improvement... I use the "Show unread posts since last visit" link to make sure I read all the posts to the forum, but I've noticed that when a post is edited, although it gets the 'New' icon on the board, it doesn't show up on the list of unread posts. Would it be possible to mark a thread as unread when a post within it is edited? Thanks guys!

That'd be awesome, thx nebula!

When I want to change something, I find that a real good start is to search the source for whatever I'm seeing and then reverese engineer how the code works. You end up learning lots while you hack... and I guarantee that what you see will have you clicking the paypal link up there :)

So did anyone ever actually get code::blocks working or not?

One thing I often find causing me problems is that I lack faith in myself and my abilities... Often I *think* I know the answer to a question, so I ask, and find out that I was right all along, and worrying about nothing... Don't make my mistake, Be confident.... But careful! hehehe

wow it's not that hard people :) just get glass cut the same size as the hole, and glue it in at the edges. Easy!

Hey Moderators... I'e noticed a few posts lately with that big gap at the bottom, is that a fault with the forum? Just bringing it to your attention, delete this post when you've seen it :)

Oh by the way AC, you left a reference to ZSSensorizer in your C sim :) I'll fix it later on but thought I should let you know anyway.

Don't worry, it makes sense after a while. And you'll learn more about your job when you begin to understand what the code beneath your code is doing :D The ASM, INC, H, C etc files are basically a nice and neat way of separating the code into more easily managed parts. They all get compiled into a hex file, which is ready to be flashed to the PIC. We use a bootloader which requires a SysEx dump, so the hex file is converted to syx.

Hah, I've got sketchup on here just waiting to see if it would be suitable for just that :) Looks like it is! Shame that this person managed to get on Make, but there was no mention of it here... Plus, they didn't upload it to the 3D Warehouse, so none of their work can be used by others - If they uploaded it, then we would be able to use the knob and slider models from their design for our own designs. Now, I'll have to make them up myself, which means that other people will have to wait even longer for my sequencer. I always get frustrated when people do work based on a sharing community like this, and then don't share. grrr... So selfish... And it happens so often.

Follow the schematics, it's the best photo you could ask for :)

Yes. You can make the buttons do whatever you want, so long as you are prepared to modify the firmware :)

Mmmm, flies :P heheheh Nah no rumours unfortunately, the smiter's identity remains a mystery, but true karma has prevailed over the digital type anyway, it seems ;)

Hi marcus, just about any 10K trimpot should do the trick :)

Not bad.... Wish they were illuminated! Where'd you buy em from? Or are those samples?

You're on the money :)

If I were you guys, I'd use MB64e, because TK has done all the hard work for you ;) http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_midibox64e_full.gif http://www.ucapps.de/midibox16e.html Follow the links for lots of diagrams :)

Meef, all the hardware is MBHP (MIDIBox Hardware Platform). Pots use AINs (Analog Inputs) to talk to the Core module. Encoders use DINs (Digital Ins). Both AIN and DIN modules are How or if the core uses the data from these modules depends on the application. The MB64 application currently supports pots, and the MB64e application currently supports both pots and encoders. It is possible to use encoders with the MB64 application, but you will need to make additions and modifications to the application code. If you have not made many customisations it should be a simple operation to add some more DIN modules and use the MB64 application. Hope this helps :)

First thing you need to do would be ensure that the MIDI interface is not sending these bytes. You could loop a MIDI cable from the output around to the input (make sure local echo is off on the PC or you'll get an endless loop) and monitor it to be sure, if you don't have another midi monitor. Otherwise check you connections and solder joints... Have you run a search about this? This concept has been discussed before on the forum and I'm sure TK made some suggestions. Wilba and I were discussing this the other night too.... I've recently been thinking about using the IIC_MIDI stuff to drive an LCD though, because IIC is much faster than MIDI so it would be possible to use it for realtime messages.

Look up :)

Hi Analog, welcome aboard :D I'm working on something similar with FX also. There are two ways to go with this... One way is to make a voltage controlled synth (IE, it will have CV inputs) and use the AOUT modules to drive that with a MIDIBox CV, the other way is to build the synth as if it were going to be controlled with pots, and use digital pots, controlled by MIOS. I find that the 2nd option is my preference, as it is far cheaper and more flexible, because you can still have analog inputs with this model, where the CV ins would go to an AIN and then onto the core, and out to the digipots - but those inputs are then freely assignable to different digipots (mod matrix style). But be warned that the second option is not proven, it's a works in progress, where the CV control has been done before and is known to work. The digipot system best suited to synths designed from the ground up to be MIDI controlled like yours. Have a look on the wiki and the recent threads on the forum about MBFX for some ideas... Cheers!

Don't worry about the direction of the text, that can vary ... The way the chip alignment is done is by designating Pin 1. This is done either with a 'dot' painted/etched on the top of the chip, or with a notch in the end of the IC. So... ---- ---- 1 -| \/ |- -| |- or --------- 1 -| o |- -| |- The sockets usually have the notch in the end too... Hope this helps....

There were some switches we looked at in the MBFX thread recently....

Sounds OK electrically speaking... Have you tried uploading the app again?

Bonza :D Well said illogik :)
