cimo

the point is that when i dj i jump and spin around ;) so i actually "spin" .. and my wrong i am up on saturday night not tonight but i got your number so i can sms you.. cheers simone

hi we all (or not) ended up with a "stuck" core, in my case it hasn t been because of a faulty Java installation or similar, but for some faulty upload, faulty apps, etc, one of those weird situations that end up with a "stuck" core. In these cases, when MIOS upload won t start, the only way out was the "manual trick"; now you know i am not a "manual trick" vendor, i just think it showed up being useful a few times, so feel free to demonstrate the bad quality of my product :P simone

hi @S1: i can tell you that this trick has brought back to life a few PICs of mine and i am not the only one. See for example: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,10782.msg82834.html#msg82834 Simone EDIT: I would then advise to enable the feature but start the core manually as a first approach and then trying to disable the feature, if that is more safe wise.

good point there, i have to admit that since i moved to a new house i had some grounding problems, time to buy a grounding wrist? (or whatever you call it) thing is i have 9 over 12 *165 with failing pins.. simone

have a look at the spare parts section down in the bottom of the page: http://eks.fi/shop.php?p=purchase box and everything!

oops i don t really remember but you can test each resistor one by one, can t you? try the 2 seconds manual upload trick: ie: don t use the MIOSStudio feature "wait for upload request", instead try to do that manually, it could take a few times before you get the upload to start. simone

hi matrigs i am happy to see that you are not using a torch! i am having the same problem.. maybe you got your ICs at Conrad? 74hc165E (73C41MN) ? I was wondering if they could be defective/more sensible to heat than normal.. simone

hey! bienvenido i am leaving in 17 hours for barcelona, to assist to an event www.theinfluencers.org at the CCCB Museo de Arte Contemporanea, and spin on thursday (dunno where exactly yet), i ll PM you my number so we can catch up and have some MB talking, (and maybe i can try your machinery?) welcome aboard Simone

i can confirm that 6-7 KR is only where the pins are broken and that inverting the probes doesn t change anything. in one DIN4 only the first SR works (all pins) but then it seems like that the signal is not passed on the rest of the chain weird, really, maybe i ve been sabotaged, grr

..in my actual project i have a metal front panel and a plastic subpanel attached to the back of the front panel. Mounting screws are flat head, placed on the plastic panel in countersunk holes and fixed with a spacer. Now i know there isn t place for an extra panel in the 6582 but you could try to use 4 small pieces of acrylic, make a hole with countersink and then glue the whole thing to the back of the front panel, this will give extra strenght. Some measurememts: the panel is 1.5 mm the difference between the level where the panel sits and the 4 smal piece of plastic with the holes for panel mounting is 1 mm the difference between the level where the panel sits and the edge of the panel frame (where the plastic is mat/rough) is 2mm assuming you can find any 2mm thick material you could use it as i ve described and it would eventually look better cause the panel would sit at the same level as the fram einstead of .5 mm lower as it would normally as an extra you can use a smal drill bit to make small blind holes in the back of the panel and on the plastic panel as well, i used this technique on plastic over plastic and it improved greatly the resistance (hope it is clear enough) simone EDIT: i cam to think that maybe one of the reasons why the 4 screws are a weak point is because there is a little gap (1mm) between the back of the front panel and the surface of the small 4 plastic corners with holes for panel mounting on the case frame.There will always be a little tension because of the screws being pulled by the nuts. EDIT2: useless (or not?) to say that a small piece of acrylic 15x15mm will be as strongly glued as 10 screws all together

so i ve desoldered an IC and used a socket, now 1 pin won t work cause the corresponding pad was gone with the desoldering work... this is a little nightmare i will order new boards can t really see another way to do it properly.. doh! simone

hi some of the pins on some DINs are not working, i checked with a multimeter and i can see that although the resistors are 10K the resistance between the 74165 pins and GND is around 6-8 KR, would a fried pin act like that? I ve soldered the ICs directly to the board, but i ve done that so many times that i can t believe that i ve fried them, is it possible that only a few pins are fried and not the entire IC? maybe they were DOA? This is really farged up Simone

.. i need to add that i ve installed JRE in my home folder and not system wide, can that be the problem?.. simone

as a non-native english speaker i had to refer to google (i hope it can be of any help for others) and it says: i don t think this sepo guy has anything to do with "ours" now seriously i tried to remove the Java Runtime environment offered by the synaptics installer in ubuntu and reinstall the official Java package but with no success yet to run MIOSStudio. I will probably go for a fresh reinstall on UbuntuStudio to get rid of *000s of packages i wanted to test.. it may help simone

Mail checked and much respect to TwinX and all admins (good work guys) maybe a link in the News forum would be appropriate have fun simone

hi i may be wrong but i think that the opto isolator is always advised in the master core simone

today i get a different output from the command line: simone@lab:~$ cd Desktop simone@lab:~/Desktop$ java -jar MIOSStudio_beta7_5.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: init_ at gnu.javax.sound.midi.alsa.AlsaMidiDeviceProvider.init_(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.javax.sound.midi.alsa.AlsaMidiDeviceProvider.<clinit>(libgcj.so.81) at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.81) at java.lang.Class.newInstance(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.classpath.ServiceProviderLoadingAction.run(libgcj.so.81) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory$ServiceIterator.loadNextServiceProvider(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory$ServiceIterator.<init>(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory.lookupProviders(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory.lookupProviders(libgcj.so.81) at gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory.lookupProviders(libgcj.so.81) at javax.sound.midi.MidiSystem.getMidiDeviceInfo(libgcj.so.81) at org.midibox.midi.MidiDeviceManager.rescanDevices(MidiDeviceManager.java:102) at org.midibox.midi.MidiDeviceManager.<init>(MidiDeviceManager.java:47) at org.midibox.midi.MidiDeviceRouting.<init>(MidiDeviceRouting.java:64) at org.midibox.apps.miosstudio.MIOSStudio.<init>(MIOSStudio.java:80) at org.midibox.apps.miosstudio.gui.MIOSStudioGUIDriver.<init>(MIOSStudioGUIDriver.java:61) at org.midibox.apps.miosstudio.gui.MIOSStudioGUIDriver.main(MIOSStudioGUIDriver.java:233)

that s the answer when you have a 85 cm human being around asking for winnie the pooh, hold on she ll tell ya.. yu dvbhhhhhhhhggggggggggd see? ;)

hi i have all the sdcc enviroment installed,actually i wonder why i had to redirect the path to /usr/local/bin if i did it already when i installed sdcc. the problemo was that i was looking for it in /sw !! now i only miss MIOSStudio to work in my linux machine .. soundcard already connected

alogic, wtwose esta utilizando el protocolo mackie, que utiliza mensajes midi para funciones especificas, solo que los diferente host interpreta diferentemente los mensajes. simone

hi enable midimerger within the app., all chained cores will have just 1 input and 1 output.Is this what you wanted? simone

yep! smallbear is the natural spouse for tonepad projects simone

if i have to make new pcbs i can just route the common anode to a single line aside from the buttons. doh! i think i will cut the traces on the pcb and hardwire the common anodes, so i can use this pcb atm i didn t etch the second board yet so i can redraw it with different signal for common anodes and for common pin of the buttons .. yep i ll do that simone

;D ;D ;D pffff "gracias a SineSurfer" the answer was in the wiki, as usual, demonstrating the utility of the wiki and the completeness of information in ucapps.de http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/installing_gputils_and_sdcc_on_osx?do=backlink AudioCommander,TK maybe it could be useful to add this to the GPutils info, maybe just a link, and linking it also in http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/installing_gputils_and_sdcc_on_osx?do=backlink also in Ben s page i couldn t find any PPC installer for GPutils, he s got the same source as sourceforge, or am i mistaken? is it an old link? thanks!!! now i can finally leave the wintendo party once for all, mpasm was the real last application i needed. i do like this step you took Thorsten, it s gonna change a bit my work flow now on. thanks again! (can t believe it, i had a 2Ghz laptop just for the only purpose to program a 40Mhz chip!)

still a blank window (i am not so lucky tonight uh?)
