soundcard midi. never again. i got a edirol usb interface. now i got to figure out how to program it for 16 pots. i also need to get buttons and a DIN module. I forgot them..:(

success!

creative labs was a waste of time. all i found were complaints about the poor quality of drivers and other technical problems. one i found disturbing was excess null bytes on the pci bus related to midi thus reducing bandwidth on the pci bus. I will be getting a usb interface tomorrow. its just easier than fighting the sound card. (It crackles occasionally anyways) Cheers, Adam

i get the 707 plugged in and no messages. ??? so where do i go from here? maybe ill go to creativelabs and see if they got newer drivers...

a ready message? You mean the upload request it should send? ADAm

No problems with the ques. I Tried troubleshooting for a couple days b4 i asked what might be a silly question. My PC(duel core athalon 64bit) was not giving the voltages needed. I moved it to my womans comp and i was able to program 2x452 pics and they verified no problem. This is what i figured it was first. Maybe its my MIDI interface(i did have to add a soundcard to get a midiport) problem is, i have no way to test the port/cable. i need a usb interface... :( BTW. everyone should know how well packaged the kits were. ive gotten shit off the net before, but never so well packaged. and the board quality was fantastic. i will be ordering mort parts(kits) when i get this badboy working.

yup, criscrossed. In to out and out to in, but i only have a tr707 and its midi is very basic, i dont know how to test it on the midi the voltages are all ok. like TK said on the core page. Check those 4 points for 5v. i get 5.02v in all 4 place(3 on ic1 and 1 on ic2) its a kit from smashtv. im using board mount ports, they only go 1 way. all parts are in the correct places. i programmed 2 pics(i got 6 samples of the 877 and 6 of the 452) and they both verify ok(the 2 i programmed with the bootloader

Hi everyone, Im new to the forum although I've been visiting ucapps since about 04. My first attempt @ a midi box a couple years ago were unsuccessful. This time i bought boards from SmashTV. they came friday and within about 3 hours i had a JDM, AIN, DOUT, and a Core module all solderes up. I got the PIC programmed and the LCD attached to the core. I am not having any luck gettin MIOS uploaded. I use the MIOS java app to monitor my midi ports but i see no activity(the upload request) the lcd shows the top line black and the bottom blank( i read on the sid page this is normal) all voltages are ok(as per the core module page) but nothing still. I desoldered the midi part of the core and resoldered it. but no change. what can i try? Thanks! Adam
