Thanks so much Henk, in the meantime I already got one and forgot to erase this thread. Sorry and all the best

Beautiful, still watching!

So good and inspiring to see what you are creating! Good luck with your further progress, I‘m watching you :-)!

If anybody wants to sell me their STM32F4 Core board please contact me. I am located in Germany... Thanks, Emre

Yep, the notes in the first post are wrong, obviously did a mistake. I will delete the file so it does not led to future misleading of other reader... Thanks TK!

OK, found out what the problem is: Whether I read the connection scheme wrong or there is a mistake: DO has to go to PIN PA6 DI has to go to PIN PA7 so these two have to be switched...

Thanks for jumping in TK! I just installed NG, but there is no sign of the default files and also the message of the missing SD Card: Also the File Browser tells me, there is nor SD Card mounted (tried formatting the card both as MS-DOS Fat and ExFAT...) So I must have done something wrong in the wiring though I checked many times, or my brand new SD Card Adapter is somehow broken...

Dear Forum, I am trying to attach my SD Card using direct wiring, so no Core Board to host the STM32F4 Disc Board. For this I connected the SD Card Holder as written in red into the scheme, but Mios_Studio keeps on telling me, that no SD Card is found... Any help is appreciated, thanks! Emre

Thanks for your generous offer Phatline, I will get back to you if I'm stuck. But first I have to do my homework... All the best and see you soon!

Thank you for your detailed answer and merry Xmas BTW. Since I use Cubase Max4Live is not an option for me, but I figured out a solution that might fit my demands. Though this might be OT I would like to explain it because it might be of interest for some people. I want to build a small DAW controller for Cubase that addresses a channel strip plugin (for example Waves SSL G-Channel) of a selected track. In Cubase 12 it is possible to bind incoming CCs from an external controller to parameters of an inserted plugin of a selected track (in MIDI Remote: selected Track->Insert&Strip FX->Parameter). That's the easy part... But since I don't want to open the plugins UI I was searching for a way to display the values of the parameters. Let's f.e. take the SSL´s frequency knob of the LMF EQ band. I tried displaying the according CC values using Lemur with a customized function for the range of this specific parameter (20-250 Hz). Without going to deep into this it turned out that this does not work precisely because the range does not seem to be linear, so my endpoints (20 and 250 Hz) are correct but everything in between is slightly off. So I need to get the "real" values from the DAW. The. only (for me possible) way is to use the MCU (Mackie control) protocol which sends out the desired data. So in Cubase I have to create a Mackie Control as a remote device and catch the data with a MCU display in plugin mode starting at page 2 with "Values" enabled. The order of parameters I can luckily change within the plugins Remote Control Editor in Cubase. This all works so far using a MCU template in Lemur. I still have a lot of work to do adjusting my future MBNG controller to this, but once I have everything running I will create a new thread and dive into details, don´t want to hijack this thread...

This is brilliant, amazing work Phatline! A few questions about the encoder/oled board: I`m trying to understand how everything is addressed. Do all encoders have a unique CC number which is mapped to individual controls in Ableton? And what about the oleds, do they show feedback provided from the DAW (name and value of mapped parameter)? Thank you and good luck with your project! Emre

Attached you´ll find the docs for the Varitronix display. Regards, Emre 55 Zeichen Display.pdf.zip

Hello Peppe, I´m sorry for answering so late but I haven´t been here for a while. Puh, I know this is a little OT but here is a quote from somebody I found in my documents: "If you change the last parameter from 0 to 1, then the spacing between channels is larger. ;; print host messages at position 12/0, (0=normal spacing) SET_CLCD_HOST_MSG 1, 12, 0, 0 <--- to 1 After setting this you can also customize the spacing to your own liking by changing the parameters in "lc_hlp.inc". as Frank said, you do this in lc_hlp.inc under LC_HLP_MsgCursorPos. You can position your messages just by counting the characters and spaces (retlw 0x00 + x for the first LCD, retlw 0x80 + x for the second, x goes from 0 to 39). By default lc_hlp.inc gives the arrangement of my controller (two 40x2 displays).  It´s also possible to shorten the messages, i.e. to have 8 channels on a 40x2 LCD with 4 characters per channel plus a space between each. To do this you have to push the not-to-be-displayed characters to a non physically existent position (i.e. retlw 0x00 + 40)." I attached my modified lc_hlp.inc file for this particular display. Cheers, Emre lc_hlp.inc

Very exciting, thank you Thorsten! Emre

Strange enough I had the same problem so I registered again with a different username and mail account...
