Thanks for the clarification

yeah! nice floor!
Dance Dance Revolution 64x64+X?

Have you considered another module specifically designed for MIDI-clock (dividing)? It would be better if clocks were recognised by the MIDI2CV but it seems like you're using it for an unintended purpose.
Here for example:
https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33010If there was a spare pin on the PIC, then maybe MBSID could output "DIN-SYNC" directly. Remember that digital IOs should be protected with at least a current limiting resistor.
-
I'm happy with the PCB, so I will hopefully ship by the end of the week. Now's the time to tell me if your address has changed in the past while.
I would just like to check one more component before releasing the BOM, namely series Schottkys across the transistors to help reduce "ghosting" in the matrix. (Hehe!)
I will arrange production and shipping of the cases from next week.-

Hi Andy :)
Just a quick thought: can you measure the PSU voltage at the Core and at your secondary board? It's possible to get some strange behaviour if it so happens that Vcc is pulled down below a certain level.

Just needs a BLM :)
-
Winter is coming and it will soon be time for BLM builds. I'd like to start a thread for possible new modes and features.
1. Remote update. This might be my limited understanding of MIOS Studio, but is it possible for the SEQ to route a sysex update to the BLM? Because the MIDI connector is non-standard one would have to open the case and either transplant the PIC into a standard Core or use odd cables connected to the 2x5 IDC or DIN8. It may also be interesting to have direct access to the 16x16+X matrix from apps on the computer/MIOS studio etc.
2. Scale editor. Custom scales are really cool but a little clunky to program in using drum mode. I'm wondering if scales could be set up using a new "mode" where the 4 sliders set note, octave (velocity, gate length?). Maybe the notes could be "built" from one of the many scale templates, choosing a root note, and then modified from there.
-
7. Only certain posts are added to the "new posts" tab, this one wasn't. It seems replying to older topics in certain forum sections will bump that list though? This wasn't the previous behaviour.
-
It's been a little while since the forum upgrade and there are still issues. Hopefully they can be collated here for fixing. We're appreciative of this great place but it can be made better!
- Encoding support. Most characters with diacritics are complete gobbledegook, especially noticeable in the Greek/Russian forums.
- Formats. The gallery images are dated using the American system (MMDDYY) but enhanced quoted posts are in German. Is it just me?
- There's a problem with some gallery images displaying a black screen.
- Status updates are better if one person overwrites their old one, I have three at the moment, one being a spelling error fix.
- Do we really need line spacing in posts?
- Lack of smilies, old ones are not parsed correctly.
Any others?
Many thanks,
-
What's wrong with your other post where the issue was explained to you? Making a duplicate post isn't a way to get more attention. If TK. doesn't answer after a reasonable time perhaps you could PM him. One solution is there but requires an upgrade to a newer Core.
-
I've chatted with TK about an LED driver chip running SPI, the benefits would be less CPU load and more RGB resolution at the expense of slower transfer rates.
I've ordered a few encoders to test, I'll probably make up a small board with matrix routing and connections to a DOUT module. As always, things get a bit more complicated when you have to route up a control surface PCB with 16 of these on :).
-
Normally DINs/shift registers are configured in the ASM file before building a new hex. I can't answer about activating AINs; it looks like MIDIO V2 doesn't support them and it would be a custom application. If you're unable to write new software, maybe you can try with a 32 bit Core module and V3?
-
I see where you might be confused: it looks like the IO app doesn't have codespace for AIN, but the later version (V3 as John mentioned) is only for 32 bit cores. V2 was for the PIC:
http://www.ucapps.de/midio128_v2.html
Does that make more sense?
-
The question is how does one enable AIN's? I guess that's the problem?
Johannus OP240.
If you are discussing mios8 and midio128, you are in the digital domain, not analog.
What are you attempting to do?
If you go to the Ucaps website, and go to the link for MIOS8 located in left panel, you will find some apps down at the bottom of the list dealing with J5.

Hardware side: there is no AIN module (well, there is AINSER and the old AIN64), just the AIN pins. Can you explain or post a diagram of how you're trying to connect the pots?
Software side: I don't have experience with these MIOS apps, but maybe you could try to upload MB64 to test?
-
Once I've verified the PCBs I'll organise the shipping, upload the BOM and build guide and order the cases. At the moment we're still on track for "in time for Oktoberfest."
Looks like all of the PCBs are spoken for (will finalise orders next Monday), but I'll bump you to the top if you get a case as well because it makes it cheaper for me. Also, (as I've already said) you'll be hard pressed to get an enclosure for a better price because just the front panel will be dearer than the whole case and you still have to add shipping!
Anyway! We move forwards and I'm glad for all of the interest. It's been a long run so far and it'll be great to see more BLMs in the wild.
-
Damn!
I visit the forum regulary but missed this bulk order.
If there are any PCBs left i wouldt buy them instantly.
Best regards

I prefer to sell PCBs to those ordering the cases, but I'll let you know.
I know I am way too late to this order, but is there any chance I could buy one of the spare BLM/miniCore PCB sets?
-
If you're getting bizzare results from J5 after enabling AINs, don't forget any unused pins must be jumpered to ground.
-
Depending on how I go with illuminated encoders it could be a lot more!
-
Is there a BoM yet while we wait?
Soon!
Please let me test the new batch of boards to make sure everything works properly. All going well it should be a week or two.
-
Pricing might be about $3 each if I ordered 1000... not sure if that's different enough from Sparkfun's price of $3.5-$4.
-
does it work?
depends on price,16 up to 64
The clear Waldorf? Not sure! Apparently they are exactly the same as Sparkfun's version. Bourns also make one which I have. EDIT: looking again these are T18 spline shaft, not what we want!
Here are the Bourns pots (not encoders) which I imagine would be fairly similar.

I'm considering a bulk order of encoders from Top-up. I think I can do a much better price than the ~$5 most shops seem to charge! They have a common anode RGB LED inside and a switch with 5mm travel.
I think the 16 mm D-shaft with 24 detent/24 pulse would be best. They would probably work very well with the "Waldorf" clear knobs.

Apparently I must have put it into somebody else's... sorry about that. If a few people have to buy an extra 4x4 set, it might be wise to send them to those who need.
Unfortunately my RS order didn't come last week so I'm still waiting for my Schottky diodes. I can upload the BOM and build guide if wanted, but I would recommend waiting just a bit longer to be sure.
