this is gonna be classic when sasha reveals the second to be a casiotone *whack*

the pads on the sparkfun pcb are connected together in rows and columns. for use as independent buttons, the traces that connect them together will need to be cut, and connections made another way, perhaps using the vias that are near the pads (i wouldn't use the vias that are on the pads, because that will interfere with button actuation). the gnd connections are ok, since they all just connect to gnd. to be clearer: there are pads on one edge marked "SWITCH1" ... "SWITCH4" each connected to a row of 4 button pads (the outer part). on another edge are pads marked "SWT-GND1" ... "SWT-GND4" each connected to a column of 4 button pads (the inner part).

note that the sparkfun pcbs are missing the isolation diodes that would allow use it in a matrix without ghosting. also, some traces will have to be cut to use them as fully independent switches...

haha "you can't get these at guitar center, you have to build them ... outa sweat" good to see more texas mb! we gotta have us a convention...

you will need a gate (or a trigger) if you want to, for example, trigger an envelope generator or like such as...

hehe, i used to work at UPS, and we usually reserved such treatment for packages marked "FRAGILE" afaik, that's italian for "throw it"

we had a conversation in the chat about termination that is relevant here. there's a thread in the german section http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,10223.30.html which shows the effect of termination on a long line. it seems Seppoman has found that AC termination worked very well with 100 Ohm resistor and 100 pF capacitor in series to GND on SC and RC at the last dout register note that these values may need to be adjusted for particular cable lengths, etc.

me too! plus: i will now h8x0r ur cpp bwaaaahahaaa!

i will chime in for a second here on a coding issue (don't know live so can't help there...) this if (MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin) == 0) { ... } else if (MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin) > 0) { ... } would be better like this (for both code and execution efficiency): if (MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin) == 0) { ... } else { ... } on the other hand this: if (MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin) < 13) { ... } else if (MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin) > 13) { ... } actually skips the value 13 as well, which i think you didn't intend, so would be much better this way: if (MIOS_AIN_Pin7bitGet(pin) < 13) { ... } else { ... } hope that helps...

wow, i've slept since then.... so that was from horowitz and hill, might as well be the bible for us electronics noodlers... i have wondered, though, why "voltage" is generally accepted (though some physics snobs insist on emf and pd) while amperage and ohmage aren't... meanwhile i'm sure you didn't mean to oversimplify impedance *whack*

if only i could hear it, then i could learn so much more from him. i've learned so much just from watching him that i will take a job as mastering engineer!

Maybe you already did this, but if you chained the ribbon cable to both sids, make sure you disconnect the right MBHP_SID::J2:SO from CORE::J10:SO

It remains to be seen if this will extend your max cable length, but it is worth trying. Note that you will need to send each signal through 2 inverters in series, though...

me no likey that one. need tactile feedback. poor name choice too...

ooooooohhh, me likey!

no way! 42 is prime real estate...

i'll sell you a complete set of transparent pcbs for $100.00 i'll also ship them in transparent packaging....

hehe, wheeeee your project is scattered throughout the forum you should make a thread for it...

you are redeclaring the function with that. to call the function: MIOS_MIDI_MergerSet(MIOS_MIDI_MERGER_ENABLED);

so tactless *whack*

hehe, was my raspberry at you poopoo-ing the buttons. i like em. don't worry, smashtv will be along any day now to agree with you... feel free to send your extras to me, along with some bezels which i never did get. *whack*

pblblblblbllbt!

wheeeeee! can i also be mostly harmless?

hmmm did you search "duo matrix"?

what is ecobox you asked? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/keith.williamson/ecobox/
