Je n'ai pas encore pratiqué cette manipulation (j'en suis encore à la phase conception/redesign/fabrication) mais à ta place j'essaierai avec le sysex loader de Serge : http://www.ucapps.de/howto_tools_syxloader_18f.html
En espérant que ça t'aidera...

I had some spare time tonight so i've already finished the core module! As usual, you'll find the netlist on my website.
Enjoy ;D
Next to come in order: DIN, DOUT, AIN

I'm working on it ;)
The drawing of the Core Module will be finished monday or tuesday and the others are coming ...
Cheers, Raphaël

Exported netlists are now available from my website ;)

Eagle is free for personal use, you can find it at http://www.cadsoft.de.

Hi djsegler
I'm actually drawing the schematics for the MBHP in eagle format so you can export a netlist from here. You'll find those schematics on my web page : http://rdoursenaud.free.fr/MIDIBOX/
Only the JDM and LTC are drawn yet but the other modules are coming soon. Hope you'll find it useful.
Cheers, Raphaël.

I'm actually building a developpement platform to check the feasibility of my wonderful ideas ;)
a really god productIs it a typo?? ::) ;D
Anyway, here's what I'm thinking about (and maybe dreaming :D ) :
- Big alphanumeric or dot-matrix LED based display for song titles and patch number ...
- Up and down bank buttons
- A tap button for setting effect speed (essentially for delays)
- 10 preset buttons (rock solid !!!)
- A LED per preset button indicating the active preset
- 10 to 20 parameters buttons (I don't know yet)
- 3 or 4 characters alphanumeric or dot-matrix LED displays for each parameter button indicating the function assigned (like REV/CHO/DLY/WHA ...)
- Dual color LED per parameter button indicating the ON/OFF state
- MIDI IN and OUT :P
- 2 to 4 relay-controlled jacks for amp channel switching
- 2 to 4 external controller inputs to connect standard guitar volume pedals controlling MIDI parameters (like Volume, WHA ... )
- 3 or 4 characters alphanumeric or dot-matrix LED displays for each external controller input indicating the function assigned
- The software must be capable of sending multiple program-changes/control-changes/whatever on multiple channels on an input event
- PC based user interface on a 1st step and a PIC based next
- Maybe include a coffee machine (just kidding)
Here it is, I'm open to any suggestions except the coffee machine part :P
I don't own pedals so I was not thinking about a switcher and won't be developping one soon.
Cheers, Raphaël
EDIT : I have updated my site to reflect these thoughts ;)

Mais sachant que je n'ai besoin que de 12 boutons, si je brance ces boutons aux connecteurs J5 à J8 du DIN, et que je j'Upload dans l'application midibox64, est ce que là Midibox sera utilisable ? (Par la j'entend est ce que Reason reconnaitra les boutons ?)
A priori ta MIDIbox fonctionnera; il faudra simplement la configurer via l'application de Serge avec les messages correspondant aux paramètres de Reason que tu souhaites contrôler. Voila tout.
Pour les potentiomètres, tu en trouves normalement aux alentours de 2,5€ : Code: 441449 - C2 chez Conrad par exemple (7€ ça ressemble au prix de potards audio ALPS absolument inutiles dans une MIDIbox)
-
Jettes un oeil au tutoriel de la MIDIbox64, il semble que les boutons de navigation peuvent être réaffectés si nécessaire et que le LCD n'est peut-être pas indispensable finalement, la configuration pouvant être réalisée par le MIDIbox64 editor de serge. A confirmer ...

I'ts funny to hear about this 'not so known' product and brand because it's the one that made me think 'hey what about building a floorboard on my own? It might not be so difficult!'
I first heard about this product from John Petrucci's mouth in the Dream Theater Live at budokan DVD bonus when he's talking about his setup :o
So a night, searching the web for good stuff to start the project, I found the ucapps.de site ... you know what's happening next ;)
I don't want to carbon copy their design nor the way their box works but we can share some code and design if you want.
I want far more buttons, displays and gear ::)
It's all designed in my head ... i'll write this down later (I also have to sleep and work)
Glad to see that there are still some guitarists outside in that DJs jungle! (Don't misunderstand me I like DJ works but I'm a musician ... )

Bonjour Xartiel,
je n'ai encore jamais fabriqué de MidiBox mais au vu du code de la MIDIbox64 il me semble que l'écran LCD est indispensable pour affecter les fonctions aux boutons. Donc les boutons de navigation le sont aussi ;)
Que quelqu'un me dise si j'ai tort.
De toute façon il me semble que l'application sera plus pratique à utiliser avec un écran. J'ai payé le mien 23€, il me semble que ce n'est pas un investissement énorme au vu du confort d'utilisation qu'il devrait t'apporter.
Si quelqu'un en sait plus que moi ...
Raphaël.

Hi Thorsten Klose,
First i'd like to thank you for your GREAT work!!!
Man, you rule ;)
I'd like to try writing some code using C but I'm still learning the basics of this language ::)
I pretty much confident with ASM since I've already coded some stuff in ASM on a 68HC11, I assume the gap between 68xx ASM and PIC ASM isn't that big, right?
I'll try both because writing some code in C seems a good challenge to me 8)
Anyway, I'm waiting for some missing parts from my local dealer (inluding the PIC >:( ) but I'll begin the developpement testings as soon as it arrives :D
Cheers, Raphaël

You're right goyousalukis, the midibox64 is a better point to start than porting the actual floorboard. I'll work in that direction ... but I'll need some specific improvements ;)
Anyway, thanks for the idea!
Cheers, Raphaël

Hi krixtofer!
I effectively think about including a volume/expression control pedal but this won't be done before a long time because I prefer to concentrate on a simple design to begin and then implement those cool features.
I'll keep it in mind for future improvements ;)
...wait and see
About the displaying infos from the POD, I think it's impossible because (afaik) it doesn't send its state through midi. So there's no easy way to know what to display :-/
Cheers, Raphaël

Bonjour,
Je suis actuellement en train d'essayer de resuciter le projet FloorBoard :D
Plus de détails dans ce post (en anglais)

Hi Pilo!
Actually the board I've designed handles an external PSU using the method shown in the ucapps.de JDM page (on the bottom in section "troubleshooting"). A regulator isn't needed as the zener diodes are limiting the voltage correctly : 5.1+8.7=13.8V (I assume so ;) )
I've also included the pull-down resistor needed to flash PIC18F4X2 models.
I've not built my board yet but I'll post some feedback about this method.
Cheers, Raphaël

Hi I'm french so I may help...
Frais d'expédition <=> Price of shipping
Kits et/ou plus de 8 PCBs <=>Kits and or 9+ PCBs
PCBs seuls, jusqu'Ã 8 <=> PCBs only, up to 8
Hope that's enough ;)
If you need more translations : just ask ;D

Hi everybody.
What about reviving the Floorboard project?
Here's what I plan to do :
1) Redesign the harware part to suit my needs (and yours ;) comments are welcome!) using the modules already available plus special ones if needed (I think about something special...but we'll see that later)
2) Port the actual firmware to MIOS and PIC18F452
3) Enhance the resulting application to handle the new features found in the hardware.
As it is my first midibox, I need to build a test & developement platform. I began by redesigning the JDM board today (hum yesterday :o ) and going on with the rest of the minimal harware : Core, DIN and DOUT modules because I hate those nasty wires under the boards :P
Here's where you can find my current and upcoming work :
http://rdoursenaud.free.fr/midibox/
Once this platform will be made I'll concentrate on the developpement.
Hope I'm welcome to do so ???
I'm short in time to clear the details but I'll post these later on :)
Don't blame me for my bad english :-[ I'm french ;D
Revive FloorBoard project

I've been really busy lately so the project staled for the moment. I have almost all the parts to build a developement system for this but no time actually. I hope to beggin building it on late January.
Sorry.
