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

Good thing you left that big blank space on both sides of your panel then :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....

[HOW TO GET JDM WORKING ON WIN XP]

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!)

[JDM Hardwaretest problem]

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
