Got MIOS studio, tried to upload this MIOS update (at top of download page): Starting upload of mios_v1_9c_pic18f452.hex Hex file contains code in MIOS range, forcing reboot! Received Upload Request Sending block 00000400-000004FF Error: Received unexpected Upload Request Etc... Perhaps wrong hex? mios_update_v1_9c.zip pic18f452\midi\mios_v1_9c_pic18f452.hex It's sending the sysex string Sysex message: F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7 after I try to upload the update files with installed mios, with old mios and the third file

Tried some midi-ox uploading getting these from core: SYSX: F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7 LCD shows one bar of blocks in the top row (It's one of smash's LCD's) (I could have gotten wiring horribly wrong.) Also when I tried to uoload MIOS the LCD started to fade And my voltage regulator is running at burning-temperatures... Time for a heatsink!

miosstudio.midibox is gone, I have a beta jar but that wont run... Anyway if anyone has a URL or something, I'm trying to upload MIOS

Fuses... Protecting our precious transformers wherever they go! (I've lost 2 or 3 transformers that way! (too much current))

I dont know if you'd need an AINx1 (shift register and resistors) or not.

Definitely possible, I dont know how but it sounds like you'd use buttons (inc/dec) or encoders to browse through parameters and link those to that AIN port... as for master on/off, That could be hard, you could do it easily by using a switch to disconnect the joystick but if it was assigned, it would give an output

mouser digikey jameco futurlec They should all have switches. Any power switch should be good... Depends on what the switch is switching. If It's wall power before any transformers, get a nice rugged one. It shouldn't cost more than $5... I have a nice little one that lights up right next to me ^__^

VGA is nice and easy but you need a pin for hsync, a pin for vsync, and 3 pins for R, G, and B. If we could get all of those, you could do multicolored stuff! This is a project worth persuing... after I learn some more ASM, I'd hope to contribute to this! (no PAL here :'()

Doublepost! I believe we have lost a day or two in this restore :'(

Has anyone mentioned using CV outputs and adapting that to control lights (something in my mind says that could be used for theatre lighting.......)

Hell, all of midibox.org is back! My life just regained meaning!

Right, I want to write the least code possible (I have no experience in ASM and very little in C) The reason I say that (I am just going to use a Encoder and 5 button setup) is because if I wire a button to SR 3 pin 4, who knows what it will control! I was just looking for some wiring and/or code for the basic control surface for the SID I saw there was code for the step C control surface, but for now I'll stick to the basic. I've been hunting the site for some code for it but all I see is the step C package on the MIOS page Thanks

It has been said so it shall be :-D

If it's a socket, you (if all voltage is good and you want to insert chip) can plug the socket hole with solder, and insert chip into socket while holding your iron on the solder to keep it molten. If you are pretty good, the chip will contact the solder that will contact the bent socket that will contact the PC board. desoldering 40 pin sockets doesn't sound fun :( You could always check voltage on bottom of board (I know... that wont check if voltage is going up to the chip, only to socket).

I have decided to take on a midibox project that will include a SID module here is what I want to do: switch between MIDI controller (for PC mixing etc...) and controlling internal SID 8-16 rotary encoders 8-16 buttons LED's for each button to indicate status(later) 8 motorfaders! (later) Here is what I invisioned for now Supplying power will not be an issue (2 wall-warts or custom supply) (I have old sid, not 8050) LCD will be 2x20 I had questions on how buttons and encoders are assigned. I want say buttons 1-8 to be CC 40-48 and encoders being 50-58, and be able to change that somehow (making them 35, 20, 77, 47, 35, 11, 54, 80 and so on...) Is that possible? (I am ordering ALL parts except SID from smash (my nickname... ha!) and maybe ask mike if he could etch a power supply board for me) I am relatively experienced in electronics and thank you
