Mr modnaR

thanks lylehaze, that helps a lot. fyi, the sid DOUT schematic is here: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_cs/mbsid_dout_default.pdf thanks also to wilba, very helpful, but when you said: did you mean DOUT? i can't see why a DIN would need high currents passing through it (nor, for that matter, stoned raisins. bah duhm tschh.). thanks

ok, that bit i don't understand! why is it that on the MIDIbox SID, there are no transistors? thanks.

sorry,, i should have really started on a new thread, i understand now you have explained it. thank you.

make it look like a grandma, and the track ball can be her glass eye, which you can pop out to show the grandkids.

make a computer case from them! http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/jeannie/

having a bit of trouble understanding this: http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_scan_matrix1.pdf do the DINs work by sensing when the pins are shorted to earth? if so, how are they shorted? the DOUT pins they connect to are also at Vd, or have i missed something? thanks

ok, just realised how much of a muppet i have been! i need more than 128 LED outputs, and, as they are arranged in a grid, i can do a matrix, correct? 16x16 is just 32 connections. sorry for waste of eye minutes.

hi, i need to have more then the max. 128 digital outputs. i assume i would need more than one core, but to do that, would i have to write a separate application for the second core? also, if i didn't need all the DINs, is it possible to 'offload' some of that band width to give me more outputs? thanks

well, we know where all the parties will be post-apocalypse. ;D

me too, at the moment, it looks a bit Mad Max meets The Andromeda Strain, great concept though!

that's a cool link, thanks.

i think it's dot density rather than dot size on inkjets, i'm pretty sure it's the same for lasers.

get another one, and stick it on the end of this stuff: then you could have a MIDIbox Snail. ;D

milk no sugar, off you pop, quick smart. ;D

i'm not 100% certain, but i think some of the higher-end laser printers have all colours needed to print on any colour paper.

the difference is that those screens are PLED/OLED rather than just monochrome LCD.

this caterpillar track idea seems like a good way to implement motor faders, anyone know if this IS how they work, or could this be the start of what could be the first all terrain MIDIbox? ;D

personally i'd use feedback from pots on the joints to determine the position of the joint. precise movement could be created using stepper motors and an appropriate controller for those. then it would only need an 'up or 'down' bit sent to it to move the joint a little bit. for larrger movement, just keep sending up signals till the desired position has been reached.

they wouldn't actually need to be toothed i wouldn't have thought, as long as they didn't slip, they'd be fine.

We would like to include this feature, but sadly it's not possible, so it will be left out. ;D ;D ;D

lol, after reading the post before yours, i thought yours was going to say: if you google for MIDI gatling gun solenoid.... ;D ;D ;D

tha't a great idea, thanks man.!

[arnold schwarzenegger voice]you mess with my MIDIbox, you lose your arm.[/arnold schwarzenegger voice] ;D

::) i know that, lol, i didn't know whether you had a nikon as well.

hey! me too! i've got a Nikon EL2. old school i know, but nice build quality. i have a really good condition 50mm F/1.8 AF Nikkor if you're interested? it came with the camera, which is not AF, so a bit pointless having it.
