u all seem to have lil factories at home... heavy duty equipment... ;D

Its too obvious, ill have to fill up that space.... but i dunno where to find big round spin caps.. And i wasted so much time on that plate, its brushed aluminum 6 mm thick and now i want to change layout (too late).. and the worst part is that its giving me hard time implementing the buttons... i have 40 9x9 mm click buttons and I dont know ow to put them... Tryed glueing with epoxy but they refuse to hold after few clicks.. :(

I havent been aroun for long time here... And at the time I tought I am the only guy making midibox for traktor... But when I returned first thing I saw is your thingy in the gallery, and I have to admit, I was full with envy :-[ Great stuff man, nice realization, and am not even mentioning functionality , because your project is 1 to follow... Respect MINE YOURS Ill have to redesign mine :'( btw I didnt know for shure that encoders could be implemented for use in TRAKTOR for fast forwarding and reversing....

This is my story.... When I first connected the JDM and did the measuring procedure i had realy strange readings. I red every post with JDM troubleshooting and loading up a bootloader. I tried everything that was posted here, tried 8 computers, external power and so on . I didnt giv up, in 100 combinations of settings and io drivers only one worked. This are my readings from pc at home (settings mentioned in ucapps page/JDM MODULE) PIN 1 (MCLR#) - PIN 12/31 VSS = 12.9V DURING READING = 1.5V Other reading where probbably fine (MOST TROUBLE I HAD, I HAD WITH MCLR AND - PIN 1) PROGRAMING ERROR NEXT TIME A STARTED IC PROG PIN 1 (MCLR#) - PIN 12/31 VSS = 0.5 V !!!! PC WITH WIN 98 PIN 1 (MCLR#) - PIN 12/31 VSS = 0.5 V !!!! Same thing!!! ANOTHER XP PC PIN 1 (MCLR#) - PIN 12/31 VSS = 0.5 V !!!! Same thing!!! So I accidently, while I was measuring, MCLR voltage I started with moving the cable and i dicovered voltage rising up to 14-15V and back again!!!! The cable was new and I was fine, conector too, and everything else. So I knew there is some how a way to get 14-15V on MCLR ( with no external power), and during the reading too. After that it hit me, I dont know where from: I`ll try IO delay mode : 4 !!!!!!! (THAT IS THE ONLY DELAY VALUE THAT WORKED!!!) THESE ARE CONFIGs (XP WIN) IO DELAY mode : 4 TALIO SYS driver (http://www.talkingelectronics.com/FreeProjects/MultiChipPgmr/MultiChipPgmr-P3.html) - instructions on the site WINDOWS API Enabled MCLR as VCC (I2C menu) Enabled Vcc control for JDM THIS IS HOW I GOT MY JDM WORKING AND PROGRAMING the PIC !!!! Best regards thorsten, I hope this will hel others because we all now how can JDM be frustrating. The JDM is a final stage in any MIDI box project, and when u get everything done, all you have left is PROGRAMING the pic so you get crazy when it doesnt work. (I did!) ziGI_cro

Hi there... first, sorry for my english. it is 2 am and am crazy. I have a same problem, but i don use a COM/usb converter. Using no external power (because ther is no diference) XP user, also tried with WIN 98, tried with TALIO.sys and USERPORT.sys drivers The voltage`s are: VSS - MCLR# - Once I had 12.5V when i used TALIO.sys drivers but after READING a pic everything came back to voltage : 0.5V VSS-MCLR# (during reading - 3.5V (but when, am guessing,Talio didnt work, i had same 0.5V ) so anyway tried to program it but it didnt work other voltages are in normal range
