Hello andrea, that's not a "full" answer but few points : If you only use 8pots, then you dont need a AIN, you can plug your pots directly to the core, and save a AIN board. To write your own app, the only other way than C is the ASM. I think it's wise to stick with C, unless your an expert programmer :) As it's name say by itself, "midibox64 editor" is a tool to be used with the midibox64, and i'm not sure that the midibox64 app is runing on your pic atm, right ? About your other questions, most answers are here : http://ucapps.de/mios_c.html Be sure to read the Programming Examples !!
