[Text and dials on frontplate]

I've found this transparant film:

http://www.papierundfolien.de/flash/index.html (InkDeco)

You can order it at www.conrad.nl. It's 10 Euro's for 5 sheets.

I think it will work for my midibox.

[Text and dials on frontplate]

I came across this one here:

Safmat Inkjet Film made by Letraset

it's 30micron thin and is not glossy and sticks on 1 side.

But it costs about 26 euros for 10 A4 sheets

Anyone got any experience with these?

[Text and dials on frontplate]

Me neither!

Ramonster, I went looking for it and just found some here,-

http://www.jejeprodukt.nl/docs-uk/jejeproducten/main.php

but then I realized that it would put the clear paper on the panel along with my text. I'd have to see what it came out looking like first. There's always the "toner transfer" method. I've gotten quite good with that on PCB and metal, but my procedure usually requires one or two little spots or lines to be redrawn with a marker. I don't like the sound of that for a front panel.

                          Good Luck!

PS- That's still the best DIY technique I've been able to find for what I want to do, so I'm trying to figure out if maybe I can do my labels in modular sections. That way, I could iron-on a section at a time, and wipe each one off and try again if I hadn't gotten a perfect transfer. It's just going to be a hassle trying to protect the finished sections while I move to the next.   

Can i use this 'toner transfer' method on my stainless-steel casing? and how does it work?

I'd really like to know, please tell me...

Great, i didn't know there was transparent sticker foil.

where can i buy this stuff?

Ramonster

[Text and dials on frontplate]

Anyone got experience 'printing' text and dials on the frontplate?

I want to get the dials around my knobs on the frontplate like this:

I know i can laser them in the frontplate, but are there other ways to do it?

[Host not responding to midi after some time.]

I've found the problem (and fixed it).

Turns out to be my firewire interface on my motherboard. I've tested a pci-firewire card of a collegue and in worked for 6 hour (then i turned it off  ;) )

So anyone with problems with their midi-connection dissapearing (in Live 5.0) should try replacing their firewire interface.

Greetings,

Ramonster

[Host not responding to midi after some time.]

Yes, I guess it's a problem with my midi-interface.

When i connect my midibox to the laptop (m-audio audiophile firewire midi-interface, same as i have) it works perfectly with Live.

I've installed the latest driver for my own audophile firewire.

I'll check the driver-version he installed for his audiophile.

Thanks for your replies!!!

[Host not responding to midi after some time.]

I'm using Ableton Live as my Host.

I connect my 'custom' midibox and i receive the midi messages ok.

After a while my Host just stops responding to my midi messages.

In the midi-monitor of MIOS-studio i can see that there are still midi-messages comming in (the ones that i'm sending !)

How can it be that my host is not receiving these messages?

Is it because i'm not sending an FE (active sensing) command every 200ms????

[Floating point operations]

I've just fixed this problem myself.

Download all the header and include files

http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snapshots/i586-mingw32msvc/sdcc-snapshot-i586-mingw32msvc-20050922.zip

extract them in a sdcc directory under you map with your files.

include these lines in your main.c file

#include "sdcc/lib/src/_divuint.c"

#include "sdcc/lib/src/_divsint.c"

#include "sdcc/lib/src/_muluint.c"

#include "sdcc/lib/src/_mulsint.c"

Should work

Hi raphael,

thanks for the reply, that's exactly what i was looking for.

Thanks,

[MIOS_CLCD_SpecialCharsInit]

Hello there,

my question is:

Does anyone know how to use this function in a C++ application. (not just the function, also the definition of the 8 special characters)?

???

[32 buttons on 1 DIN & 32 leds on 1 DOUT]

Thanks,

that's exactly what i wanted to hear.

[32 buttons on 1 DIN & 32 leds on 1 DOUT]

Maybe this is a stupid question,  but..

can i connect 32 buttons on 1 DIN and 32 leds on 1 DOUT.

When i search the forums i come across posts where they speak of the first 4 buttons being for controlling the menu.

Is this just for the midibox64 implementation?

Can i use the full 32 buttons and 32 leds if i programm my application myself?

Greetings,

Ramon

[Is this a momentary button (R13-523a) or an on-off switch???]

Yes, exactly.

Is it true that a latching switch is defined by off/on

and a non-latching switch by off/(on)

?

[Is this a momentary button (R13-523a) or an on-off switch???]

I want to have 7 buttons (x 3 tracks).

6 start buttons and 1 stop button (per track)

the 6 start buttons should act like radio buttons (max.1 led on)

pushing the stop buttons should turn all leds (of the track) off.

The 6 start buttons (per track) should send a midi-event to my ableton live.

[Power supply, positive or negative connection]

Great!!!

Thanks for the reply.

[Power supply, positive or negative connection]

I've got a power-supply here that's 9v 1000mA (9VA)

would this do for my box?

Ramon

[Power supply, positive or negative connection]

I'm building a midibox with:

32 buttons (with leds in them)

28 pots

4 faders

lcd display

i've looked it up again, and i need a 7-10v 500mA power supply.

Greets,

Ramon

[Power supply, positive or negative connection]

I'm looking for a power supply for my midibox

i've found a 6v-500mA power supply. But there are 2 versions a 6V/500MA NEGATIV and a 6V/500MA POSITIV.

Does it matter what version i get, or can i just switch the connections to the core?

Thanks for your replies,

i've looked for them and i found them at conrad.de

great

[Is this a momentary button (R13-523a) or an on-off switch???]

Anyone????

[Is this a momentary button (R13-523a) or an on-off switch???]

Could someone tell me if this is a momentary button or an on-off switch.

I need a momentary (pulse) button for my midibox with a led. I think this one will do, but i'm not sure.

http://www.sci.com.tw/htm/switch/(R13)%20PUSH%20SWITCH/R13-523.htm

Does the term off/(on) mean it's a momentary button?
