That makes one of us ;D Java or drivers are the prime candidates here. And it hard locked with all of those? Then I'm going with java, or just good old fashioned windows crashing :) Good testing though! (although I hope you backed up, because crashing windows is not healthy.) No amount of dodgy soldering on the core willl make mios studio crash, and certainly not force you to power cycle your PC. It takes a hardware error to do that, and I don't mean external hardware like the midibox, I mean something the PC is driving. Remember you've got at least one problem here, but possibly two: crashing MS, and upload requests not working. They may be related, maybe not.

Whatever it is that TK decides... I think it would have been nice to post in the sale requests forum first. Nevertheless, it's not like you're making a profit, or taking away the DIY aspect... so I think it should be fine :) Buuut.... this should definitely go to fleamarket, it's not really a bulk order is it :)

Just for future reference and to help people find a hit in a search: This also happens on Solaris, and HPUX, and any other debian-based distro. It will happen on any distro which does not use bash as the default shell. If you're not sure, you can type: sh --version and if it doesn't say that it's 'bash', then you need to set this MIOS_SHELL variable to specify the path to bash. You can use export as shown above, or set it in your .rc file permanently. Just for the geeks: Yes, we could have changed the scripts to just use bash, like ris8 did above.... but that would break it for users of MSYS, which does not have a bash.exe. This (like the old version of make) will be fixed in a future release of MSYS (1.0.11) but that release is not expected soon. So, we decided that unix geeks are more likely to be comfortable with setting an environment variable, than your average windows user. Just for the future: When we have our repository up and running, I will be maintaining more recent builds of our tools, so you can always install the package to know that you are using a version which has been tested and is used by myself and the other maintainers.

OUCH! what happened to your dollar!!

hahahah wow, how did that go unnoticed for so long ;D Welcome abourd latchup! That's a fine way to enter the community, fixing a bug! :D

It's working! someone do the dance, quick! :D great work guys. The only problem, is that I have to read the whole thread now, so I can try and make sense of it :P

I didn't know your name was Gary! ;D

Heh my bad. Ye-olde xfaders used to have a pair of log curves :) ...and weren't digital. :-X

LOL. Seriously though, MIOS studio crashing has nothing to do with the midibox or any thing else outside of the PC.

what's the filename you attempted to open, btw? was it in the zip, or did you make it?

what about when you tried a test app like ai64_din128_dout128?

heheh, No, gangaru is really what they were called :) (confirmed by a friend of mine)

And if that ain't enough incentive to learn ASM, nothing is!

Three problems you might want to sort out: 1 Dodgy PC. Probably your java installation or midi interface.... statistically speaking. 2 "Wait for upload request" not working. Possibly related to #1. 3 Rule #7

Long version: __wparam is a special, SDCC PIC16 port specific keyword. It should be used in the declaration and definition of a function as you showed above. It instructs the compiler to output ASM which will pass the first byte of the arguments to the function using the WREG register, rather than the stack (FSR1 (which is swapped in the wrapper with FSR2, so be careful if you try to access it directly)). This has the primary function of reducing argument passing overheads on functions with a single byte argument, but also has side-effects upon the use of the SDCC internal temporary registers (r0x**) and the behaviour of the optimiser, and as such it is usually handy on functions with no arguments (as above). If you're developing an app and writing custom functions, I recommend it's use... unless you are using inlines (hidden feature ;)), in which case it's mostly OK, but inlines are alpha, so I recommend you just quickly check the output to be sure. Short version: Don't mess with it :) Just leave it where you see it, and leave it out where you see it's left out. Can someone do an espanole version, please ? :)

MMMMMM, buttons. The columns of keyswitches will look cool :) reduces the amount of cuts in the panel too, should be cheap. Nice! You're gonna have to buy eagle or find a good freebie for that layout :( (points at sig)

Peake: At this point, you need to ask drsyncenstein... but I doubt the distributor will even notice a small increase like that. drsyncenstein: thanks heaps mate!!! good luck! amp1ron: there are a few cheap places to get the basic switch as surplus like that, but the point of this thread is the custom goodies :)

S-D, C-A-R-D, Why won't you just work for me? Go TK.... Go TK.... [me=stryd_one]jumps around doing cartwheels and waving his pom-poms.[/me] Sorry......... just thought you guys needed some crowd participation :D

Or maybe a defective multimeter... or wiring... where exactly are you taking the measurements from? Maybe I can save you some time figuring this out, by pointing out that it's (probably) a logarithmic curve (it's an audio fader after all) and as such will not work properly, if at all, with a midibox.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionDefaultsAndBranding There's a list of the logos to remove. Even if you can do that, system patches/updates/upgrades from ubuntu may cause the mods to become bugs, so then you have to break off and become a completely separate distro,... Kinda time consuming ;)

Hey, they're a herbivorous mammal that likes to graze on green grass and such, the only difference from eating a cow or sheep, is that kangaroos do not destroy our natural environment, and cattle do. I could understand if I were talking about some other native cuisine such as crocodile, snake, etc... But kangaroo really is a particularly tasteful meat. If you like venison, you'll LOVE kangaroo. It has the texture of tender beef, with a less gamey taste than deer or rabbit. Recommended. Koala aren't legal to eat, they're a protected species because we have destroyed much of their habitat (for farms and cities to be built). Regardless, I don't think they'd be too good to eat, they chomp on eucalytpus all day and don't move much. I think it'd be like eating on old boot roasted in cough-lolly juice :D I love how the bulk order threads always veer wildly off-topic after the goods arrive :D

Yes. Most of the chips in the same family (eg PIC18F*) will use the same instructions, so what you learn for the 452 is also useful for the 4620 and to some extent the 4685... and to a lesser extent the PIC16F series, which has similar instructions but not as many. Read the datasheets, give it a try, and you'll see.

@DENDER: Why lock the thread? It's fine...

Probably the same thing... The site has just moved to a different server, so things can go a bit haywire in your browser, if it gets confused about which site is which.

Thanks guys!!
