Something strange ocurrs with this module, all input work fine, but in one row, only one pin sends messages, this is the message: B0 5B 40 B1 5B 40 B2 5B 40 B3 5B 40 B4 5B 40 B5 5B 40 B6 5B 40 B7 5B 40 B8 5B 40 B9 5B 40 BA 5B 40 BB 5B 40 BC 5B 40 BD 5B 40 BE 5B 40 BF 5B 40 B0 5D 40 B1 5D 40 B2 5D 40 B3 5D 40 B4 5D 40 B5 5D 40 B6 5D 40 B7 5D 40 B8 5D 40 B9 5D 40 BA 5D 40 BB 5D 40 BC 5D 40 BD 5D 40 BE 5D 40 BF 5D 40 90 30 00 91 30 00 92 30 00 93 30 00 94 30 00 95 30 00 96 30 00 97 30 00 98 30 00 99 30 00 9A 30 00 9B 30 00 9C 30 00 9D 30 00 9E 30 00 9F 30 00 And this is the pin: I make another DIN2 and the problem persist, what's the problem?. thank you.

now I tried connecting 8 pots, and works fine!!! each pot sends its own message which I configured in the MIDIbox Editor ;D .... THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND TIME ;D ;D ;) !!!!!

 Sorry, I didn't understand ;D. what I can do in this case so that the CORE sends 1cc corresponding to the first analog input?. With the AIN module connected, this happen? Thanks. :D

Thanks for reply my doubt, it had it connected correctly. After many attempts, the CORE is working now ;D ;D ;D : it sends MIDI messages, these are the messages: B0 07 00 B0 07 02 B5 5B 00 B5 5B 02 B1 5B 01 B6 5B 01 B2 5B 01 B3 5B 01 B4 5B 01 B0 07 01 B5 5B 01 B6 5B 00 B1 5B 00 B2 5B 00 B7 5B 00 B3 5B 00 B4 5B 00 B0 07 00 B5 5B 00 I configured it with the Serge's MIDIbox64 Editor to send Volume message (B0 07 vv) and seems is sending other MIDI events ... ??? What's happening ??? ?  Thanks for clarify my doubts ;D

 Last night I finished building the core module, I burned into the PIC the bootstrap loader, placed 1 pot into the core with no AIN module and clamp to ground the rest 7 analog inputs, connected the core to the PC with an interface, and the CORE and PIC seems works fine: after power-on, the core sends the awaited message every 2 second. I configured the MIDIbox64 main.asm with 1 pot and no multiplexor (for testing) and I converted it into HEX. - later I send with MIOS Studio the mios_v1_8.hex and seems the core receive the MIOS without problem. After this I send the MIDIbox64 main.asm. My question is What I have to do now to see the core send MIDI messages when turn the pot?? ??? ??? Please help me :)

 I had the same problem, the same numbers of errors, but I placed the PIC with the care to put the pins centred in the holes of the socket (and more deeper), after one attempt, there were no errors.

Thanks you very much, now I can build my midibox64 without problem ;D!!

Thanks, but the range of values I need are very specific and special :o ???, is to change de fine tuning of my keyboard: 40 00 40 20 40 40 40 60 40 01 40 21 40 41 40 61 00 02 00 22 00 42 00 62 40 02 40 22 40 42 40 62 40 03 40 23 40 43 40 63 00 04 00 24 00 44 00 64 40 04 40 24 40 44 40 64 00 05 00 25 00 45 00 65 00 06 00 26 00 46 00 66 40 06 40 26 40 46 40 66 00 07 00 27 00 47 00 67 40 07 40 27 40 47 40 67 40 08 40 28 40 48 40 68 00 09 00 29 00 49 00 69 40 09 40 29 40 49 40 69 40 0A 40 2A 40 4A 40 6A 00 0B 00 2B 00 4B 00 6B 40 0B 40 2B 40 4B 40 6B 00 0C 00 2C 00 4C 00 6C 00 0D 00 2D 00 4D 00 6D 40 0D 40 2D 40 4D 40 6D 00 0E 00 2E 00 4E 00 6E 00 0F 00 2F 00 4F 00 6F 40 0F 40 2F 40 4F 40 6F 00 10 00 30 00 50 00 70 40 10 40 30 40 50 40 70 40 11 40 31 40 51 40 71 00 12 00 32 00 52 00 72 40 12 40 32 40 52 40 72 40 13 40 33 40 53 40 73 00 14 00 34 00 54 00 74 40 14 40 34 40 54 40 74 00 15 00 35 00 55 00 75 00 16 00 36 00 56 00 76 40 16 40 36 40 56 40 76 00 17 00 37 00 57 00 77 40 17 40 37 40 57 40 77 40 18 40 38 40 58 40 78 00 19 00 39 00 59 00 79 40 19 40 39 40 59 40 79 40 1A 40 3A 40 5A 40 7A 00 1B 00 3B 00 5B 00 7B 40 1B 40 3B 40 5B 40 7B 00 1C 00 3C 00 5C 00 7C 00 1D 00 3D 00 5D 00 7D 40 1D 40 3D 40 5D 40 7D 00 1E 00 3E 00 5E 00 7E 00 1F 00 3F 00 5F 40 7E 40 1F 40 3F 40 5F 00 7F 00 20 00 40 00 60 these are interpreted by the keyboard as -99 to 99 Thanks for your attention.

Hi everybody, I have a keyboard and I want to drive some features of it with midibox64, but I have 2 questions ??? ???: - Can I sent for example this message using a pot:  BnH 62H 20H 63H 01H 06H mmH 26H With n the MIDI channel number and mm between 00 and 7F? or only 1 status byte and 2 data bytes? The other question is: Can I sent specific range of values like these?:  00H 40H <---> 7FH 00H     00H <---> 0FH Thank.

Thanks to you Thorsten and Jidis. ;D ;D ;D ;D

  In the Eagle Light file (mbhp_burner_v1.brd) there are some pads not connected to any wire, I observed the gif (mbhp_burner_v1.gif) and there are a groud area that is no there in the Eagle Light file (the program is showing me all the layers)... what's happen? ??? ??? ???.   Another question: I will use the Eagle Light file to make my PCBs: How I reduce the diameter of the pads and vias holes? ??? ??? ???. Thanks.

Thanks for reply, Thorsten; fortunately I found a store here in Chile (www.victronics.cl) that have the 18F452 !!! ;D , I just have to wait the stock refill, thanks everybody!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D .

Thanks for your attention to my question, I hope that the 18F4680 does not have the same problem of the 18F4620, I was searched about this in microchip.com but I don't find anything, I will post in http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=4838.0 about this doubt. I'm a little distrusted about the shipping, it could spoil or something. The advantage is that on SmashTV's Store they can send it me programmed with the bootstrap loader, and the cost are the relatively the same: buy on SmashTV's Store, including shipping, etc; or buy the 18F4680 in my country (Chile, South America) ... well, I will think deeply in this before do something, I will be glad if you post any other advice, thanks again to you raphael and Jidis.

in my country apparently there is no 18F452 :-\, but there is 18F4680, and my questions are: Can I use a 18F4680 instead of 18F452? ???, What changes I have to do to the ASM code? ??? (I don't have kwonledge of ASM, but I know C, that can help me ...). Thanks. :)

I had the same problem 2 years ago to find de optocoupler 6N138 to make a PC-MIDI interface, I found and use the 6N139, and works fine!!, it cost to me about 1.1 USD.

  Hola a todos, tengo una duda, la verdad es que estoy ancioso de hacer la MIDIbox 64, pero en mi país (Chile) al parecer no hay tienda que tenga el PIC18F452, sino el 18F4680, que creo es más avanzado. Yo he leído por ahí que el código de los PICs son compatibles hacia arriba: que el código de un PIC funciona en un PICs más a avanzado, pero no al revés. Me gustaría saber si me sirve un PIC más a vanzado, en este caso el 18F4680, para armar el projecto. Gracias de antemano. :)
