Peter, Unfortunately you're not the first person to come here and announce that they want to do something of a commercial nature. Regardless of your intentions in doing this, you have set off on the wrong foot in a sense. In case you didn't know, there is already a community sanctioned shop for midibox boards and kits here: http://midibox-shop.com/ Take it slow, build a few midiboxes, offer your assistance where you see fit, and you'll find that this is actually a very friendly and helpful community. Hope this helps :)

Some wire? Sorry if this is a noob answer :)

I don't know what the problem is, but suspect it's something to do with your exported MIOS environment variables. See under the 'MIOS base package' section in the page linked above. If you still have problems, you could try running linux in a VM. I've recently installed Ubuntu in Virtualbox for this purpose, and found it easier to get all the toolchains running than with windows.

Your welcome. There are lots of mounting holes - probably overkill, but the PCB looks so big on the screen when designing..... :sorcerer: I remembered that I included the footprints for standard 6mmX6mm switch on the board as well, so people could use it with either switch type. I chose the SKPG as they are very quiet.

I've had a request, so here they are. Use at your own risk - if you can't work out what's going on in these (particularly the matrix pin assignments), don't spend any money :) I'm happy to provide some support for this stuff, but I'm no expert either. It is similar to Wilba's PCB, but uses Alps SKPG switches, has slightly different button layout, and the shift registers aren't on board as I already had DIN/DOUT boards. I have tested it a bit (haven't soldered the LEDs) and it seems to be OK. I'm nearly ready to order my Ponoko front panel/chassis, so full use should be happening within a month or two. Enjoy! seq-cs.zip

I have PCB files (KiCAD) for a control surface based on Wilba's, if anyone wants them. I have had a board made from the design, but haven't completed it yet so can't verify that it's perfect. I'll share the files when the project's done anyway, but for anyone feeling adventurous they can have them now.

Thanks. The warnings are gone, but I still get the errors about TableHeaderComponent

:flowers: I'm all for DIY synths using easily available parts

You'd be better off using a midibox to send midi controls to faders in ableton. If I recall correctly there's a 'cue output' option. Has your soundcard got more than 1 stereo output?

Make sure you read ucapps.de also Also, with that many LEDs you're going to need to either use a matrix or more than 1 core.

The Meanwell SMPS are very popular for powering DIY audio amplifiers.

Anyone know how to compile MIOS Studio on windows? Using JUCE 1.52, VC++ Express 2010, I get this sort of fail: 1>------ Build started: Project: mios_studio, Configuration: Release Win32 ------ 1> MbCvTool.cpp 1>..\..\src\gui\MbCvTool.cpp(94): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::juce_wchar' to 'unsigned char', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\MbCvTool.cpp(145): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'juce::TableHeaderComponent' to 'juce::TableHeaderComponent *' 1> No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called 1>..\..\src\gui\MbCvTool.cpp(741): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::int64' to 'size_t', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\MbCvTool.cpp(742): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::int64' to 'int', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\MbCvTool.cpp(751): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::int64' to 'const juce::uint32', possible loss of data 1> Midio128Tool.cpp 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(145): warning C4244: 'initializing' : conversion from 'double' to 'int', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(150): warning C4244: 'initializing' : conversion from 'double' to 'int', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(211): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'juce::TableHeaderComponent' to 'juce::TableHeaderComponent *' 1> No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(412): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'juce::TableHeaderComponent' to 'juce::TableHeaderComponent *' 1> No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(975): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::int64' to 'size_t', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(976): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::int64' to 'int', possible loss of data 1>..\..\src\gui\Midio128Tool.cpp(985): warning C4244: 'argument' : conversion from 'juce::int64' to 'const juce::uint32', possible loss of data ========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ========== JUCE and the JUCE example progs build successfully :)

.component is an Audio Unit plugin. What platform and DAW/host are you running?

Success! Tested with a breadboarded LED and the colours cycle as expected.

Try the 'edit events' section

Try http://www.ucapps.de...4_tutorial.html :)

Thanks TK. Should have action soon!

Very nice..... What problems are you having?

Bump! :flowers:

Have you read the schematics and the code: http://svnmios.midib...2Fblm_scalar%2F ? Also some more info here: :)

$8USD each plus shipping. Still in their wrapping. Selling as I've bought parts to build MF_V3 and these PCBs aren't easily compatible. :)

Thanks TK. I've got my BLM_Scalar PCBs now, just wondering - is it OK to use different value resistors for the LED sections? Ie. 220ohm for green, 470ohm for red. :)
