  1. Bad hex for IIC midi firmware?

    in Testing/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    no not yet. It is not something specific to the file since both you and smash are using it. However, I tried to open the hex file in another (PICprog) software suite and it also threw up an error saying that there was a error in line one related to a wrong length. I am stumped

    you not the only one, have the same issues, it says

    Error in HEX file - line 1

    Invalid line length

    I am using MicroBurner with the K128 burner KITSRUS.com

    curious why this happens

  3. DOUT4 limits

    Keyword: matrix :)

    thx for the keyword, problem is, I can't matrix any dout channel anymore or it has something attached that is not suitable to matrix.... :cry:

    ports J10 and J6 doing nothing in my layout, is it possible to use them as additional DOUT ports???? If I kick some segment display behind a MAX7219, I can use the SPI interface with these 2 ports. Easier would be maybe using the design for the midi clock as used in the Midi Monitor. My question is or someone has done this before & is it possible at all?

  4. DOUT4 limits

    Posted · Edited by SNG

    Hi, busy with designing my system and wondering or I can hook more then 4 x DOUT4s to my PIC Core? I need more then 128 out signals on my core and can't find any information or I can hook a DOUT to port J10 or J6 for example. J9 is already taken for the switches and same for J5, J7 & J15. Ports J10 & J6 doing nothing. Problem is that I need to hook up 8 segment displays and need for that 16 or 24 digital out signals (2 or 3 DOUTs)... if I can use much more douts, then I will also connect some led rings for the encoders. Don't want to use more Cores to make it only more fancy while have some free ports doing nothing...

    any advice or tips?

    thx :afro:

  5. Confused Re 2xLC

    The gm5 (which is the fun little IC) is always a 5/5. I think you're referring to the PCB: single IO PCB with the possibility to extend (which is what TK sells) or the gm5x5x5 (which is what I sell).

    How can I get this gm5x5x5 pcb? Is it supplied with the GM5 chip?

    Which GM5 will I need?

    The 5/5 or the 1/1?

    the 5/5 as you use 3 cores and need at least 3 MIDI connections...

    good to have 2 reserve for later expansions.... or you can use the 4th port for the master fader as suggested by Roger :)

    I will not use a separate master fader as each fader on my master panel can function as the master fader... we all have our own preferences :))))

    I have just calculated that I need for all my VU LED panels an separate core and 4xDOUT4.... is it possible to use a link or LTC to guide the signal through an another core...???

    Hi Lu Taska

    Yes, for your Master Fader, you need an additional core - Do you really need a Master? - Think about it.

    Regarding the MF-Boards I would suggest, that you take 2 and the single Master Fader you build just partially on a stripboard.

    Regarding the DIN/DOUT boards you see it correct but I don't feel for counting it through.

    Regarding the connection of the units, it depends on your host soft. In Sequoia I would connect the master-unit as an independent unit on its own midi port. If you want to connect it together with an 8-fader unit onto one port and handle it as the "master"-controller, you probably have to make use of MidiBox-Link.

    About how many LTCs - Go for one GM5

    Greets, Roger

    I am also busy with a project like this & will need 3 cores for the faders.

    If I have this correct, to connect all cores with my computer (I use ProTools on a MAC), I will need for each core a seperate MIDI port.

    That means 6 cables, 3xIN and 3xOUT.

    Is that correct?

    thx

  9. midifying an old analog console with motorfader

    in MIDIfication

    @ Julian: You say, that there might be some way around that problem with just a single fader. Could you please tell us more about it? Or maybe you know where to get compatible dual-motorfaderuntis.

    And did you find somewhere dual-motorfader units? Would be great to use analog audio combined with motorized faders.

    There is a way around that one where you can read the position of a single track fader as well, but what you say is certainly the easy way to do it.

    I am reading now for 2 days here (& ucapps.de) and still wondering how to get started... can only find one track motorized faders and have absolute no clue how to read a position of a single track fader. Maybe you can help me on the way, the rest I can find then out by myself (I hope!). Programming PICs should be no problem, my entire house runs on this little chips.

    thx for any help :)
