The problem description is not sufficient to give any good advice on that. Can you make a short audio recodring of the problem, and give some shots of the wiring?

Did you wire up four or eight data lines to the lcd? In 4 bit mode, if you wire up the additional lines D4..D7, this can introduce an error condition. So, if you did wire those up, remove them and leave them open.

Wasn't I really cautious when writing about this? I did my best to not sound like I was blaming someone for anything, I just expressed disappointment. When i got around to reading the questions you sent, I was already informed that it was out for offer; I'm sorry that it might not occur to you that over holidays, people maybe have other things to do than spend much time online. The sound difference in the different kinds of chips is drastic, and I think I made it very clear that there are different chips in this box. The 6581 just is way more agressive and "distortive" than the 6582/8580 models; I guess you only tried to send to MIDI channel 1, right? Anyway, I did not try to blame anyone for anything or "give names"; I was merely upset about the fact that it obviously didn't take you much time to contradict the impression you gave about wanting to have the box, and the fact that the tag on it was increased a lot (which is not to be taken that lightly). I did not guess about reasons or say you wanted quick money. So, please, do not blame me for stating my disappointment; that is certainly your right. With the things you said about the box, that's teh first time I hear about that; could you be more specific? I did the best to my knowledge to package it in a way that would prevent it from being harmed, so if there is anything that happened along the way, I would have liked to know that. The fact you didn't write about that, but only asked sound questions, suggests to me that this was not as serious as you present it here; and frankly said, we all know how rough the post people treat packages, which is why I stuffed it as good as possible before sending it off.

Kind words, thanks. I'm not worried this would fall back on me, though - my stand on this should be clear to everyone who spent a little time on the forums. I just hope there's a lesson in here for others, that's all.

I'm a bit puzzled that the guy who bought the box is now offering it on the sequencer.de forums... It obviously took him only a few days to go on and decide to sell it again, despite communication suggesting that he really was looking forward to having it. Well, so much for me on this; I was made aware of it by another forum reader and thought I'd say my two sentences about it. Due to the fact that he now wants 200 € more than I took, that's a possible licence violation and I consider discussing that in private with TK to see about that; one can obviously never fully prevent such things to happen, but in case I decide to sell anything midibox related, and be it spare sparts, in the future, I guess I'll only do that to trusted people I personally know or that have a well-known reputation. I can only encourage everyone else considering sales to do the same.

When I set up the guide you referenced, I noticed that on Vista (and this should be valid for 7, too), things didn't work out well due to the non-conforming mingw suite; I don't know for sure if this has been fixed now. The easy solution would be to set up a virtual machine running XP and doing the compilation there. (If you have a valid XP licence around, of course) Otherwise, you could help yourself by using eclipse and setting up the paths there - that should usually work, but it's a bit of a hassle to set it up for the first time.

1. Die Frage der verwendeten IDE hat nichts mit der verwendeten Programmiersprache oder Kenntnissen darin zu tun. 2. mios32 ist derzeit nur über subversion verfügbar. 3. Niemand kann Support für Entwicklungsumgebungen leisten, mit denen er keine Erfahrung hat. Wenn du auf deinem Keil-Compiler bestehst, wirst du wohl die notwendige Arbeit dafür selbst leisten müssen. Da es mir aber mehr so scheint, als bestünde das Problem in der Ablehnung des Lesens der zitierten Informationen, muss ich mich in meiner weiteren Einschätzung nILS anschließen - welche Motivation sollte irgendjemand haben, dir zu helfen, wenn du nicht mal 10 Minuten Zeit investieren willst, um das, was man dir hinlegt auch zu lesen?

Hi, den referenzierten Guide zur Einrichtung der Entwicklungsumgebung habe ich mit geschrieben, also falls da Fragen zu übrig bleiben mir ne pm schicken. Das Entwicklungssystem für Core32-Anwendungen unterscheidet sich sehr wesentlich von der für PIC-basierte Anwendungen. Unter anderem ist es so, dass Betriebssystem, Toolbibliothek und Userapplikation als ein monolithischer Block compiliert werden, weswegen es nicht ausreicht nur Header einzubinden, sondern es notwendig ist, auch die Implementierung verfügbar zu haben. Am einfachsten ist es, zunächst einmal den source tree aus dem subversion repository auszuchecken und sich die generelle Struktur anzuschauen, insbesondere die dort enthaltenen Applikationen. Praktisch die gesamte Dokumentation zum API für das Core32-System befindet sich im Quellcode und in einer Reihe von Beispielprojekten im source tree. Gruß, Sebastian

Hehe, well, I was merely pointing at the fact that forced reboots for forced updates out of the user's control are a bad thing and shouldn't happen at all. Updates can always go wrong, on every OS. The thing is, with Windows, I have to dig deep in order to keep it from auto-updating in the mid of doing important work. Show me any Linux or OS X or other Unix that does that? They nicely ask if you want to update right now, if anything. The whole process is under your control. Now back to mixers and interfaces :)

I have an m-audio Delta 1010LT 8x8 PCI audio interface and a Lexicon Alpha USB interface. The Delta is used in our rehearsal venue in cinjunction with another Delta, so we have 16x16 recording capability there. The Alpha is used as my interface for everything I do these days. And I must say, I am very content with both of them.

Well, Windows... with a proper OS, this doesn't happen.

Sold, (unless something unexpected should happen along the way).!

@traveler: Hab deine pm erhalten und melde mich bei dir. I've received your pm and will answer soon.

Thanks for the kind words :) No, the price tag is alright, I won't chrage more for it than I paid in parts (700 is tempting, but it's the damn midibox spirit). I had managed to get some of the parts quite cheap back in the day, so this kept it (comparably) low for me in parts. Nevertheless, I love this box, but with the kind of music I make (good old metal), the SID sound doesn't play well with the guitars, and it's monophony is a real limit. So I hardly find use for it in my music, and as a consequence, I better let go of it than have it gather dust. As much as it hurts (don't know how many hours I spent working on the build), it's better this way.

Well, GPL is an entirely different licence model. Nevertheless, good to know someone involved with blender :) Congrats on the 2.5, looks pretty well

I second that, TK. That's part of what the timer's and capture/compare units are made for (and in many cases today, they can directly drive a pin for PWM on their own).
