  1. Hey Spirit,

    Thanks for clearing up part of the issue :) I kinda-sorta gathered that the MF_NG can also be used "stand-alone".

    And that link shed light on the other part. Very much appreciated!

    Now, wonder where could i find a couple hundred euros to get this baby started? :whistle:

  2. Greetings,

    I've got (i'd say) considerable experience with electronics (mostly analog, plus prototyping and repairing various devices), but i'm a bit new to the details of the MidiBox project.

    One thing i'm not too clear on is this:

    Is there some way to "daisy-chain" several of these new MBHP_NF_MG together, say 4-5? Is it enough if one creates a "loop" or a "ring"? (I mean the MidiOut of the "main interface" to MF1 MidiIn, MF1 MidiOut to MF2 MidiIn --- MFn MidiOut to "main interface MidiIn)

    If i understood correctly, these can even be used without an MBHP_CORE module, right? Or if not, which connector would go to the Core board? I don't know about others, but i'd really appreciate a slightly more complete info section for this module :) Maybe even written for people who aren't quite as MidiBox-savvy as many of this thread's posters are :ahappy:

  3. I didn't mean any criticism or offense about the language, just that i didn't understand 100% what you meant, that's all  :) (I prefer to ask for clarification, than assume the wrong things  :P )

    Hmm... Is there any special reason why there's the "one channel restriction" for the 2550? I carefully read the whole USB-PIC page yesterday, and (i think) the only reason why the 4550 is recommended is that TK only got a post-12-2007 4550 with the EUSART bug fixed, but not a "fresh" 2550.

    But if there's a technical reason, i'd be curious about it. From what i could see in the datasheet, the big difference is 3 extra i/o ports (10 vs 13), and some other minor different features, which might not be used here.

    The GM5 isn't really an option. I can't know WHEN the minimum order quantity will be met, plus i can put together the pic-based version quite easily, and 100% diy  :)

  4. Oops  :-[

    I guess i rushed a bit, and didn't read that page thoroughly enough. (And i thought the module connected to those 4 IIC interfaces was a Core module...)

    So Eduy2kk, which configuration WORKS? USB-PIC + 1 IIC, or 4 IIC? And which PIC is in the interface, 2550 or 4550?

    (I understand, you're not a native english speaker, but your reply is a bit confusing  :) )

  5. Greetings everyone...

    I'm a long-time audio DIY-er, but i've only quite recently started dabbling with/in the digital (hardware) world.

    Now, for my big question: is there anyway to directly link 2 MBHP_IIC_MIDI modules to an MBHP_USB_PIC?

    (or to something like THIS )

    I'm aware that buying an interface would be far simpler, but... there's no DIY satisfaction in that  :P

    Many thanks in advance,

    Chris
