  1. Gee, why did nobody do a pull? :whistle:

    :smile:

     

    Besides a quick look at the manual also makes it clear you need a ram chip(s) as well and a DAC. So that does not sound so easy.

  2. Required parts for MB808:

     

    Documents how to link the stuff:

     

  3. I just tested it today, but it does not seem to be working.

     

    [6707.368] [network_device_init] link speed determined
    [6707.468] [network_device_init] link available
    [6708.168] [network_device_init] lost link

    This is what i get in the MIOS Terminal.

     

    After that i tried another a 10/100 Switch instead of the 10/100/1000 Switch and then it doesn't do anything. Maybe the tolerances are different, i don't know. Guess i will have to look for MagJack instead.

  4. As far as I remember, the GM5 driver will only work with VID 0x16c0 PID 1022 (MIDIbox) or with Ploytec VID (0x0a4a) and any PID

     

    Best Regards, Thorsten.

     

    The .inf file says  VID 16C0 PID 03FE :wink:

     

    I think the same....

    Probably Windows7 need  a new driver optimized .

    Do you think may useful report to ploytec this issue ( after I wil test on other OS and computers )

    or I will loose my time ?

     

    I am using Windows 7 64 bit. Maybe try to totally remove the driver first and then reinstall?

  5. The procedure i described is only if you use an eprom. I will check on my end with changing the names. I haven't tried it yet.

     

    Just checked. I connected a GM5x5x5 with JP8 open. Then a GM5 board with JP8 closed open as well. It seems to be working. I see all 10 ports in MIOS Studio.

  6. Antonio,

    The contents of the eprom is defined in eeprom_content.c

     

    The default id value is:

     

      0x16c0 & 0xff,        // Vendor ID 16C0 --- sponsored by voti.nl! see http://www.voti.nl/pids
      0x16c0 >> 8,          // Vendor ID (MSB)
      1022 & 0xff,          // Product ID (LSB)
      1022 >> 8,            // Product ID (MSB)

    So VID = 16C0 and the PID = 1022

     

    You could just burn this to an eprom as it does not match the current PID and VID that are defined in the midibox.org_gm5.inf file, the [DRIVER_DEVICELIST] or [DRIVER_DEVICELIST.NTAMD64] section)

     

    That section currently looks like:

    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_16C0&PID_03FE      ;midibox.org GM5
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E501	;out only
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E510	;input only
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E511	;1 port
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E522	;2 ports
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E533	;3 ports
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E544	;4 ports
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E555	;5 ports
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E521	;eeprom demo
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E5E5
    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_0A4A&PID_E5CB

    You should then add a line to it:

     

    %DevName%=MIDIDEVICE,USB\VID_16C0&PID_1022

    For the next device you could just increase the PID to 1023.

  7. On the frontpage:

     

    Q: I want to use two GM5 modules for getting 10 MIDI IO ports, how can I give them individual names?
    A: Break the bridge at J8 of the PCB with a small screwdriver, so that IC2:IO4 is not connected to ground anymore. This selects the ploytec.com VID, so that your operating system can differ between two devices (midibox.org and ploytec.com) and installs an individual .inf file.
    If more ports with individual names are required, you could use different IO number configurations (J1..J3), since this results into different PIDs. Alternativeley you can use an EEPROM to define your own IO port configuration and PID - so long VID is assigned to Ploytec range, the Windows driver will find it.
    Note that without individual names, your OS will numerate the ports so that you are still able to differ between them.

     

    I think this should answer your question.

  8. These are indeed the switches and caps Wilba used for SEQ and Sammich. I don't think you can source them from any other company.

     

    What latigid on said, try to find more stuff you need, then the shipping is free. Or try to find someoneelse who needs something.
