Just a follow-up on this. I have all of the possible hardware for this project. The core, dinx, dout, encoders, switches, and MIDI connectors are all ready. I also have a 2x20 (1 unit), 2x40 (2 units), and 4x20 (1 unit) LCD's in my stock. So when ever your are ready... thanks.. :)

Hi, I just wanted to know if its possible to replace all of the regular switches on the MBSEQv2 with a touch sensor? http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_din_touchsensors.pdf Just looking at all of my possible option for this project. thanks..

LMAO. ;D I believe you!!

Thanks.. ;D

Man, I evny you. >:( I know how cheap electronics parts in Asia. Back in the Philippines when I was growing up a 555 timer is 4 pesos, which is roughly around 0.86 cents US. ;D Good luck on your LC clone..

Sorry about reviving this thread. Moxi, Can you please re-post those pictures again about your DIY illuminated buttons. :-\ The reason I ask, because of this thread: http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=7116.15 Since I am new to this forum, I missed out on some of the good stuff around here. And your project is one of them. I am sure that some new users are interested in it too. Please... thanks...

I try following that link. First link it points to this forum. The second also points to this forum. The third link on the other hand points to a pictures of a "mouse attacking another mouse" ??? It's pretty funny though ;D ;D ;D

Are they going to make round buttons? Because its easier to make round holes in a metal enclosure uniformly than squares. ;)

Corrections, I am on for the buttons only also. But if the overall cost of a monome clone is under $100 with out enclosure, then I'll go for it too.. ;D

Well, if this will be a starting count, then count me in on this!! ;D ;D thanks..

Actually, I know that a bad code can not fry a PIC. What I meant is a corrupted code "inside the PIC".. Sorry for not being detailed about my question. Michael, That's it!! ;D it work. ;D You're absolutely right... I just need to time the upload request. I reloaded MIOS again.

Yes, I tried uploading another app and even the MIOS and its not taking it. I don't remember the actual error, coz I'm at work right now. I will try to upload again tonight and I will post the results. thanks..

Hi guys, Last night, I tried uploading programs one right after another on my core, just experimenting ;D After successfully loading 4 application, the one that corrupt my PIC is when I load the LCD benchmark app on top of the router app :-[ Now the core only displays the MIOS version (with TK's trademark) upon boot up. Can I still replace the corrupt application? It seems to me that the bootstrap and MIOS is still working, or am I wrong on that assumption? Questions: 1. Should I reload the bootstrap? 2. Should I reload MIOS? 3. How do you erase the PIC completely back to factory specs? Just FYI: I own a PIC burner (parallel version) Please advice..thanks

Thanks.. ;D ;D ;D

I know I should RTFM, :-[ but I figured someone can just give me a quick answer here in the forum. This should be very easy for someone with Eagle experience. ;) Basically, I am trying to print the actual PCB of the Core V3 so that I could make my own PCB, but how do you print the PCB copper layer only with out printing the silkscrenn portion of it? ??? thanks..

Just FYI: Before you insert the PIC, make sure you do the voltage check that was recommended on the Core module page..

I like to revive this thread because I'm curious about how the buttons really looks like. Anybody have an internal picture of this toy? thanks..

I completely agree with DrBunsen. Even rewiring the keyboard controller alone will be tough. Lets say you are just wiring up the keyboard not including the knobs, patch cable and other stuff. How do you go about sensing individual key velocity and Pitch wheel? Have any body here in this community have successfully wired up those features yet? Because, I would like to know also. ???

Regarding any more ideas, no not yet. I have been busy for the past two days gathering parts for my PIC Burner. Then last night, I just finish my PIC Burner on a vector board and programmed 2x 18F452-I/P for any future MIDIBOX project. One PIC will be this über MIDI router and the other is for my future SID box. Since I like to start on this project anyway, even though SmashTV just shipped my MBSEQv2 kits ;D I will however gather the parts needed on this über MIDI router. Man,, I'm so excited!! ;D ;D I wish I have discovered this site years ago.. I did not see this site until last month, when looking for a DIY analog style sequencer... ;) Question about the über MIDI router: How many DIN and DOUT's do you think I need?

Shum, Just to give you an update. After I switch around the connection, it finnaly works!! Yay!! I loaded the bootstrap on the PIC... ;D ;D ;D ;D thanks again..

Shum, I will re-wire this burner again. No wonder the red light is always on >:( Looking at the connector in the diagram, it seems like its facing back which is the conductor side, but not the pin side. thanks... ;D ;D

Dude, no worries.. I'm the one that needs your help. I know you have plenty stuff in your plate. ;) All I can say is sweet!! Looks really good.. I Agree.. Yeah, ;D lets cram as much feature as we can on this project. ;D So long as the memory of the PIC permits. Yes, it makes sense. My soldering iron is erect!! ;D ;D ;D

Hi guys, Question: While looking at the PIC Burner schematic http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_burner.pdf. What is the pin number of DATA_Out, DATA_In, CLOCK, Vdd_En, Vps_En, & Ground on the DB25? thanks in advance..

Pictures!!! Please ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Understood... I'm just suggesting a way to troubleshoot... I hope you understand... :P
