I tought of that, but where I lie PICs are expensive and hard to get, so now I'm trying to make something out of logic circuits, if not then I'll use atmel 2051 (they are a lot cheaper, but no programmers around...) I'm already trying to do something with binary counters... -- Gimzo

Thanks, I did miss that, looks nice :) Anyway, I figured my project: It will use only one core (for now). The core will handle all the midi communication, light dimmers will be triacs with digital triggers that will have parallel 8bit interfaces connected to the core on J5, and on J8 will be DOUT module used to select specific trigger. This configuration makes possible use of 128 lights (I'll probably not do more than 20-30, for power problems :) ) As dimmers will be self sustaining (they won't need periodical refresh) latency isn't much of a problem... Now just to design dimmers, and I can start working on this, I'll post here any news -- Gimzo

My idea is to build a dimmer box which will run MIOS and will be controllable by any MIDI console/sequencer. I just need some info on creating modules/drivers on MIOS to be able to make dimmer control. -- Gimzo

OK, I figured out what I need to ask: Is it possible to access a port (like J5) and use it as a 8bit digital out, or write a driver for a dimming circuit (not yet designed) that will be connected there instead of AIN module? It says "There are also some application which use this pin as digital in- or output." on the core page, but I haven't seen any documentation/example of it on the site. Thanks -- Gimzo

Ok, I've seen TK made mios tv, so I guess it's possible to make new modules for core. So where can I find some documentation about that? Thanks -- Gimzo

Hi I'm new here. (I knew for this for some time, but it's not until now that I'm able to get my hands on most parts, and so I will start building something now) I'm not yet too much into music (I'm learning :) ) so I'm thinking of building a midi light controller as a start. On MIOS page it says it's customisable, but all I can find are designs based on "official" projects (midibox64, midio128...), and now I don't know how to connect core module (and program it) to work with something else... Anyway, my idea is a modular midi-controlled light controller that can be used with normal light bulbs and LEDs (I have some ideas about that, but it's not yet ready...) that can be controlled by midi control surface or sequencer (or computer, of course). The stuff I don't know is how to interface light dimmers/LED drivers with MIOS. So my question is can I (and how) create and use my module with core? Thanks -- Gimzo
