  1. midibox 64e 22encoder, 84switches, 64pots Need help

    in MIDIbox HUIs

    Posted · Edited by highpow3rpc

    I know this is reviving an old topic but I would like to ask if anyone one could help with the coding/programming i've basically revisited it and its still causing a bit of confusion I now know the exact setup,

    12 encoders, and 25 pots

    Would any one like to guide me through the process or even help write the application thanks in advance

    Do you not think that it would be a good idea to look at doing them as a DINx8 design, given the much smaller footprint?? Then people could just stuff the components they need. Meaning that you could just have 2 boards for 64 inputs?? Wouldn't this be better than ending up with 4 very small boards that have to be linked up?

    Best Regards,

    Hey Fozzy i was thinking maybe a dinx16 and an ainx8

    Make it alot more compact and easier to integrate into mini builds

    A quick eagle session says that with my very limited eagle and SMD skills a DINx4 would be doable in 2.7 x 1.2 inches. Smaller is possible but hard, mainly due to the fairly high amount of sockets. Maybe I should make set of all-smd standard modules and run a tiny tester-bulk order :thumbsup:

    Oh and sorry for dragging this thread off-topic ;)

    Hey nILS would it be possible for you to upload your schematic and board for us to have a look at, nah the thread isn't of topic still relates to the midibox64e and the bulk order doesn't sound like such a bad idea :)

    YES!! You got my vote for those..... As long as the board price is the same or lower than the current boards available, then I'd say go for it! SMD components are way cheaper than the through hole variety. I'd also like to see them available as a DIN X8 module AIN X8 module and Dout X8 module as this seems to me to make much more sense than just having DIN X4's etc etc like we do now.

    I also add my voice to the cry for all components to go SMD on them. No point in doing half a job on it. If you're going SMD then do it all. And I have to agree with nILS that you should look at 1206 or 0805 for the resistors, because it makes them easier to handle.

    Thats the thing my sources of pcb manufacturers pricing is fairly high, at the moment i will be just building this midibox on vero board

    i will hopefully have a mock up board in the near future once the project is complete, kind regards Highpow3rpc, and would any one know

    where the best pricing for electronics components in australia is

    OK, but you may not need to re-write the app to support what you want to do.... It may actually support it natively. Not spent enough time pushing the limits of what it can handle to be 100% sure either way here.

    Persoannly I suspect it might well fall over trying to do it but, we really need TK to answer this one and tell us if it's actually possible to do what you want with the 64E App as it is.

    There's not a lot of point in re-writing it if can already cope with the demand as it stands.

    Best Regards,

    Fozzy i think that you may be right in the application being able to handle this, it just needs to be tweaked slightly in the configuration files, if then the app falls over i will post all progress in rewriting it.

    As I understand it, you can't do that on one core.... You'd need to use two separate 8 bit cores, and link them to get that many inputs working with Midibox 64E.

    CORE 1 (using Midibox 64E)

    With 2 DINX4 Boards

    22 encoders (would use up 44 Digital Inputs)

    Leaving 20 Digital inputs For 20 Switches

    CORE 2 (using Midibox 64)

    With 2 DINX4 Boards

    And 2 AINX4 Boards

    64 switches (uses up the 64 Digital Inputs) (total switches now at 84)

    64 pots (uses up the 64 analog inputs)

    The two cores linked by enabling the midibox link in the software, to the end user it would behave as a single system.

    I'm sure somebody else can give you more detail on that. But I recommend that you go read and digest the documentation. It will answer 99% of your questions.

    Best Regards,

    In my reading it says that the midibox 64e supports upto 64 potentiometers in the newest firmware (2 ains) and if i am only using 22 rotary encoders that would be 44 inputs used on the dins, but if i am using 4 din's there is still 128-44= 84 leftover din pins, so wouldn't this still be possible with the single core

    Good luck with the box :) I hope to build something very similar to your controller, did you use any encoders or did use only pots and switches

    good luck with the rest of the project and hope it works well :)

    Thanks for the update.

    If at all possible would I be able to see a copy of the code and then once its revised as I would like to learn from seeing the code in practice.

    awesome project

    If you're asking those questions you're going to need to do a lot more reading, both on this forum, the wiki and at ucapps.de

    The midibox platform (MBHP) runs applications on either a Core8 or Core32 module. Check this page http://ucapps.de/mios32_download.html for a list of released applications for the Core32.

    Check this page/folder for code/apps and tutorials. The tutorials are good! http://svnmios.midibox.org/listing.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2F

    This page will explain setting up the toolchain: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=windows_mios32_toolchain_core

    Thanks findbuddha for the reply, i have been looking at the examples "MIOS32 C Interface" think its the same as the tutorials page, the system i would like to build will use all 128 of the digital in's (be good if there was slightly more so i could use all encoders and switches instead of pots) and 1 fader for fading between decks, thank you heaps for the links :), and any further help is much appreciated.

    kind regards Highpow3rpc

    Hey i would like to bump this thread to see how you guys are going with the project, i am trying to do something similar :) but am stuck with the software side of things i have no prior knowledge of programming if any one can help please pm me i would be very grateful, thanks in advance

    Hello all I am building a midibox core32 for traktor

    I am stuck and would like to ask a couple of questions

    1st if I buy the module from smashtv will i have to do any other software/configuration prep work

    or can i plug the modules straight in plug the usb into the pc and it recognise all the buttons/faders/encoders ?

    2nd if it wont parse controls to pc how would I do this (I have no experience coding)
