I think is is a pretty good example of how addictive 'boxing is - you finish an 8x SID with full cs, which does every thing you can imagine, and still you go ahead and build another stereo version ;D I kinda know the feeling!

Yessir! ;D

Nice one, Pascal! Doing cores/sids on veroboard isn't that much fun ;D I'd still recommend it to everyone to do it once - it's a nice practice and even a bit of fun, if you like tetris ;)

Man, I'm really too busy to do that right now - can someone fill out the required forms PLAG-13.37 and CO.42.PY for me and mail them to smash, please?

striddie ze joke killer - you sure you don't have a lot of german blood in you? The hero in Zelda is called "Link". So... Zelda theme music -> save Link. Was joke. Funny. Haha ;D

Well, any vector graphics program will do that... For instance: INKSCAPE! Go download inkscape, everyone!

Wow, if you move the mouse fast enough you can actually tear off the nipple. Ouch! ;)

Nah, I'll share the vectors :D The .zip file contains an .svg with various versions (round eyes, evil eyes, key-teeth...) midi_punisher_skull.zip midi_punisher_skull.zip

[me=nILS Podewski]starts collecting money to buy striddie an LCD, so he finally knows what those look like ;D[/me]

Oh yeah, the teeth are totally striddie's idea - I just did what I do - I copied it :D

That sounds like you've got the bootstraploader on your pic. Would be really nice if you could give us some more detailled info since troubleshooting into the blue is kinda hard. * What PIC are you using? * Where did you buy it / did it come with installed bootstraploader? * What hex file did you upload? * Waht application are you trying to install? * What version of MIOSStudio are you using? Basically all the information you need should be here: http://miosstudio.midibox.org/ http://ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap_newbies.html http://ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap_experts.html ...and all throughout the forum

It totally was Wilba's idea - I just did what I do - I copied it :D

...or it shows how many of us actually make money ;)

I've always been wondering if it's just me or if his head really is gigantic... ;D

A DINx4 module stuffed with 2 SRs, gives you 16 inputs, if that is <= what you need - yes :D My bad actually, I for some reason overread the "button" thing and assumed you were talking about un/detented encoders... :-[ "With button" does mean "with button". You can use either type. Although using an encoder with button doesn't make any sense unless you're going to use the button ;)

To the third DINx4 module (since it's only 5 additional buttons you don't need a full DINx4, a DINx1 with only one shift register will do) If you aren't scared of following the instructions here , you can connect the buttons wherever you want to and change the pin assignment in the software. You'll have to a part of it anyways as 5 buttons (2x20) is the default option. Detented ones (with the "clicks") are usually used for the menu encoder, while undetented ones are used for all the other encoders. I personally like detented encoders more so I used them everywhere - it's really a matter of taste. Yes and no. It's a regular DIN module, but not a fully stuffed DINx4 with 4 shift regusters as you only need one more.

Congratulations cosmo! ;D Now go ahead and make some music already!

Awesome idea :D As most people here are pretty swamped it's unlikely that someone will program the whole thing for you, but you'll definitely get all the help we can offer!

Ich will auch so Freunde... :-\

They appear to be what a lot of people (including myself) use, since they're fairly reliable, very cheap and widely available.

;D you just made my day! I spent a year in the states with a host family - hence the "host" thing.

Those are awesome and heavy as hell ;D My host-mom's grandfather gave me a pretty similar one which he bought in the early 70ies:
