aha ok, I'm just gonna stick with the NKK's then, since I have already tested them. The NKK ones are $2.30, while these are $1.78. But with shipping, the order total comes out to be the same. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm about to order all of my led switches (100 of them), and so far, I though of going with these: http://www.nkkswitches.com/pdf/JBilluminated.pdf However, I have been eyeing these from rapid: http://www.rapidonline.com/productinfo.aspx?tier1URL=Electronic-Components&tier2URL=Switches&tier3URL=Tactile-Switches&tier4URL=LED-Illuminated-PCB-switches&moduleno=72855 Has anyone ordered these? Are the caps soft? If so, that's what I want to go with. I would just order a sample of course, but the shipping is like $70 even just for one switch lol Also, is it being DPDT a problem? I thought we should be using SPST.

Ok, problem solved! I simpled wired the two SO pins on DOUT:J1 together, and it works! There is one thing though...right now my LED is connected to J3:D1, which under standard midibox128 should respond to the midi message 90 31 7f because it is pin #2. However, it only responds to 90 36 7f so it's acting like pin #7. Are the pins labelled wrong or something? Thanks everyone for the help!!

Good news! All SRIO tests were successful: - Mod 0: DOUT:J1:SO was 8v, DOUT:J1:SC and DOUT:J1:RC were 0v - Mod 1: DOUT:J1:SC was 8v, DOUT:J1:SO and DOUT:J1:RC were 0v - Mod 2: DOUT:J1:RC was 8v, DOUT:J1:SC and DOUT:J1:SO were 0v I also tested at other places, like the PIC and jumper like you suggested. I think I found an issue though, while looking at the schematics to do this test. Here is DOUT:J1: Notice that the left-hand SO and the right-hand SO are not connected, which is different than all of the other pins on J1. I didn't notice this originally. The left-hand SO goes to J2 while the right SO goes to IC1. Should I connect the 5 pins on Core:J8 to all 10 pins of DOUT:J1? Right now I only have Core:J8 connected to the 5 left-hand side pins of DOUT:J1. Let me know if I'm not being clear...basically I just need to know how to properly wire the core board to dout. I guess that each pin on Core:J8 should actually be connected to 2 pins on DOUT:j1, unlike how I have it now.

Hi guys! So I'm working on my midibox128 prototype and I'm having an issue with my dout module. My LED always stays lit, no matter which pin it's connected to or which midi messages I send to the board. I can actually toggle the led on/off by touching the 'SO' connection pin with a lead from my voltmeter...not sure why that is. Does that mean incorrect signals are coming across from core? Any ideas? My solderings look alright, but that still could be it (I'm a beginner). My DIN module works ok, so I'm not sure if it's a problem with the core board or what. Other posts related to this seemed to stem from having a fully loaded board, whereas mine isn't - 99% chance that I just messed up somewhere. Thanks a lot!! - Dusty
