Well something terrible happened I dont know what I did wrong un-soldering the AIN module, but now the CORE is not working. now the midi-ox input shows a lot of zeroes every two seconds Something like the following: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 and now the rectifier and regulator get very hot to the touch. any suggestions?

I just checked R2 has only 2 Jumpers. So I think I should start to un-solder and re-solder everything back again.

Also I almost forgot, On IC#1 with the multiplexer in and no power, I check with the conductivity and if I put the common end on pin #1 has conductivity(beeps) with pins 6,7 and 8 but this does not happen with the rest of the 4051s, is it ok? is that ok? Thank you

Hi there TK Am using an AIN R2 are those thin yellow wires still in the R2? Thank you

Ok Well I still have the problem but I found some more information; -I changed the pot sets( I have 4 sets of 8 pots each) now I know that the wiring and pots are ok since every set of pots that I conect to the J1 pins (A0,A1,A2.....Vd) are flawless, very stable, no jittering no strange messages. I conected all 4 sets of pots (one at a time off course) to the J1 Pins and all worked perfectly, then I swaped all 4051 to the first socket the one that corresponds to J1 and every single one works perfectly also, what should I do then? it seems that everything that I connect to J1 works no matter of wich 4051 is in that socket and J2, J3, and J4 are not working correctly, regardless of the 4051s, what should I do, buy a new AIN board?

ok I understand it now, thank you raphael

do i have to have a din module? am confused, hehehe i dont know anything about electronics so it is kind of difficult to understand, about the jitter mon do i just upload it to the core???? and turn it it to check what happens? am reading the asm, shows than at DIN#0 it decrements and at DIN#1 it increments, so where is din 0 or 1 do i have to conect abutton to those pins and the oter pin in the switch to ground? this is my box, one core, one ain, no lcd, so if the jitter mon is uploaded to the core is it going to respond to those buttons? so i can select the ain pin an see if it is jittering so i can go one at a time and check? like "multiplexer #1- pot#1, multiplexer#1-pot#2, and so on, and also is it going to show everything in the midi ox imput screen? am very sorry that am not getting it, sorry.

Hi TK ok If am getting this right, I should first check with the one "good" 4051 into the other sockets? if the good pots correspond to the good 4051 I guess i should change the faulty 4051s. and abount jitter monitor if i Have the midi box64 uploaded do i just upload the main file (jitter mon) when it asks for the upload request at the turn on? I don't understand that "The pin has to be selected with two inc/dec buttons"

well I tried to ground the outer shells for the sliders and pots but, still having same problem, I remember at the time I placed the multiplexers the power was on (by accident), could it be that I have faulty multiplexers because of that??? thank you

every single page of the wiki shows PHP Warinings is it ok or did I did something wrong

Also I forgot, how do I run the"jitter mon" application? Than you again

Hi Thorsten Yes in fact everything is mounted in the aluminum front panel,which is not grounded at the time I do the checking because I have to separate the entire pannel to get acces to the modules, I have done some checking agian using the first input on (coreJ5) for the four outputs on in the AIN well for the first output( i guess it should be called the first multiplexer) all 8 pots work good, using the same input conected to the 2nd multeplexer and grounding all others it gives me some erratic messages, the 3rd multiplexer that has 2 sliders and grounding all others same thing, the 4th(all) sliders is totaly a mess, am going to try to ground every single pot and slider to check if it works, any sugestions to ground the pots? for the sliders i can use the mounting pins but should I just try to solder the outer shell of the pots? when I ground all J5 inputs the module only sends the first upload request, and then it just stays there, no random messages or anything that may show a short cuircuit in the core I just confirm it is not jittering it sends random messeges, it is sending messages that are assing to other pots, even if i do not touch them, and well i assum that the messages are not that random because it is only for the chorus and reverb CC this is not the actual screen of midi ox monitor but the idea is the same: 183 91 1 6 180 95 44 5 183 91 4 6 180 95 44 5 183 96 100 5 180 95 44 5 183 91 4 8 176 90 120 16 177 90 95 5 180 95 97 15 Thank you :)

I have almost the same problem but only with my sliders the pots are ok, some times, slider one sends a message to ableton live and apears as 7/95 on the midi assing screen but some times ocilates like 6/95,7/95,8/95,13/95, some times the volume is jittering alot, or even other slider some times sends the same message that was previously assigened with other slider. bellow is a sheet of my wiring i have 2 joysitcks but am showing those as two pots inside a box (for the signal [pot middle] wire the longest is not more than 40cm. Is this wiring correct????????????????

welll after all this time I only did just one box (actually for me), no one requested service nor send any sketch, drawing, file, etc,. to quote on. it just took so long to get an order, that i just simply shout the whole thing down, I sold the Milling machine, and as far as the silk screen and powder coating I still have the contacts, they are still doing some short run stuff for me. but i still have means of doing boxes, am at el paso texas and the silk screen and powder coat takes place in Juarez, Mexico. shoortly I will present some pictures of what am about to finish (midibox64) nothing fancy but good enough to use it as a front pannel (out of ionized aluminum).

I (by mistake) grounded pin #1 of my pic with boot strap loader? now it is not sending the upload request, should I buy a new one?

I got mine out of a rack(19" standar) blank panel is anodize brushed aluminum am still looking where did a buy it from i forgot the site had from 1u to 9 or 10u sizes offcourse all 19"wide

well i have almost the same problem, am very very new at electronics so could somebody please help me using very plain and basic english how to determine what to connect where, i have a multimiter but i dont know how to do it. I have 100mm 10k panasonic linear sliding pots, the pins are like this: 1 on one end and the other two at the other end some thing like the following            x=pin ******************************************************************************************************************************** *                                                                                * *    x1                                                                          * *                                                                               * *                                                                               * *    x2                                                                    x3    * *                                                                               * ******************************************************************************************************************************** thank you very much

Saludos desde Mexico // EU (Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua // El Paso, Texas): Me alegra en demacia que tengan un espacio en español de este foro hablando de pots lineales, como puedo identificar que pata es la idicada para las conecciones las patas por la parte de abajo del pot que tengo son algo asi: ______________________________________________________________________________ | | | x1 | | | | x2 x3 | |_____________________________________________________________________________| Estoy haciendo un MIDIBOX 64 fusionando el midibox con un teclado de pc PS2 para controlar LIVE , pronto pondre las fotografias de como va el projecto, ya corte el panel con 9 lineales y 32 rotativos + 2 joystics y como 42 tbotones asignados a teclas del ps2, todos los componentes estan en el panel solome falta soldar, y programar (jejejejeje casi todo) los poteciometros lineales se pueden comprar en digikey o mouser bueno de nuevo saludos. espero contacto
