aaaaaand... I should also have said that I have a formatted bank stick as well :)

Hey everybody, how's it going? I finished my MBSID and it seems to be working great. By that I mean that I can play it with a midi keyboard plugged directly into the sid and sound is coming in the form of the internal preset sound. awesome. But I'm pulling my hair out trying to get the 6581 presets uploaded. I'm working on a PC with a Delta 1010LT sound card. I'm using midi-ox to try to upload the SysEx as per this tutorial: http://www.ucapps.de/howto_tools_mbsyx.html However the sysex files aren't being sent it seems. No error message. The sysex transfer shows up in the output monitor but the presets don't show up in the MBSID. I have the 1010LT ports configured in MIDI-OX with no routings. I have tried it with midi-yoke ports as well. Also Jsynth isn't working either. My questions are: is it possible something is not connected right in my build? can the midi I/O be working but not the SysEx? Am I completely missing the bus on how to use MIDI-OX and making a fool of myself? Do I need to route the ports in a special way?

I just posted my name on Wilba's list - but I think i missed him (he said he was headed for europe) So if yours are still available, I'm game.

I'll take a set of four.

Thanks guys. I guess I assumed Smash was more than one person since he seems to do the work of many :)

I get everything I can from SmashTV, but their encoders are detented. So what are the recommended non-detented ones? I'm just looking to get what's "normal".

Hey everyone. I'm shopping for rotary encoders and I see that some have 2 bit and some have 4 bit output. Which should I use?

IT LIVES! I went down the checklist - TEST PROG1 - going to assume bootstrap loader is ok. TEST CORE1 - Used the crystal in the kit, I think it's good TEST CORE2 - Don't think this applied to the version of the board I'm using TEST CORE3 - I've been over the board a couple times and I don't see anything. BUT! I'm not that confident in my soldering abilities so let's not rule this one out. TEST CORE4 - Getting power at all important points, just a smidgen over 5V. I'm using an old wall power adapter for a scanner 9v DC. TEST CORE5 - hmmmm. No measurement on pin 12. This is my problem? TEST CORE6 - Board mounted jacks. TEST CORE7 - Polarity is good TEST CORE8 - Resistor values are good. TEST CORE9 - Cross link good. TEST CORE10 - Not getting those kind of messages TEST CORE11 - Using the cap with the kit. Soldered properly (looks that way to me at least) TEST OUT1 - LED flickers (that's cool by the way) TEST OUT2 - Don't think this applies to my case. TEST PC1 - What is MIDI-Ox? TEST PC2 - I Don't know where the bytes sent and bytes recieved count is on MIOS Studio, but sure seems to be working TEST IN1 - all good TEST IN2 - These are board mounted so I don't think they can be backwards TEST IN3 - continuous light TEST IN4 - N/A TEST IN5 That's as far as I got because I went back and tweaked the solder on the socket for pin12 and it works like a charm! MIOS and SEQ-v3 loaded. awesome.

I have a PIC18F4620 from SMASHTV which I'm sure did (does?) have MIOS on it (I guess that's what the sticker was trying to tell me). I'm an extremely ham-fisted complete bungler at electronic DIY projects and have no doubt whatsoever that all problems are caused by me. Hopefully I haven't messed up anything beyond repair yet - here's what I know: PIC18F4620 Board from SmashTV says CORE_R4D I'm using a PC and my midi comes from an M-AUDIO 1010LT sound card. MIDI out seems to be working since I get that message every two seconds. Could it be I messed up the MIOS that was on there trying to write it again? And I must have messed up something else anyway because I should be able to re-write it no problem, shouldn't I? Stryd_one kindly sent me looking for trouble shooting and I found a page of tests. As soon as I work my way through those I'll post the results. I don't know why I enjoy this stuff so much - I don't really have a talent for it.

I bought from SMASH TV. However, since I was getting SysEx Message: F0 00 00 7E 40 00 01 F7 every two seconds I thought I read somewhere I needed to upload the MiOS? But let me poke around a bit more and I'll get back to you. Thanks for the link to the troubleshooting..

Hi everyone - just put together a midibox core and am having trouble uploading the MIOS. Here's what MIOS Studio is telling me Starting upload of mios_v1_9f_pic18f4620.hex Hex file contains code in MIOS range, forcing reboot!

No obvious soldering errors - all resistors are correct values and everything is oriented correctly. Those are the things I know how to check. Any advice?
