Hi, I think that Midibox is a great project (is the one that get me started on pic16 programming) and it deserves to grow/transform more as more affordable and capable boards are getting available. In particular the esp32 seems to be a good platform for doing some cool usb/bluetooth experimentation, and the stm32 is also promising. But the licensing of the project doesn't allow easily for other people to contribute and create new projects, and I think this has "stopped" the project a bit. Also contributing on a platform like github, maybe implementing automatic builds pipeline, would make everything easier. @TK. would you be open to move the project to a more open source model, with a license such as MIT/Apache or LGPL that will allows also commercial/other derivatives? Would you be open to move the development to some platform like Github? I can volunteer some times to make the transition happen. Thanks, Nick

After I solderd all of the components I got this reslut... No Device id

Hello all, have been troubleshooting this for hours, and need your help. Scenario: running PIC18460 Core V3 with 16x2 lcd display, running mios 1.9h -works- uploading of apps -works- midibox_sid_v1_7303e with 24LC512 bank stick -works- connected SID module -works- tested SIO (Serial Input Output) with "srio_interconnection_test_v2a" -works- activated CS in setup file "setup_8580.asm" build DINX1 on verobaord checked pulldown of all DIN-Pins with multimeter -works- checked serial clock witch oscilloscope -works- uploaded "midio128_v2_2c" pressing connected buttons for sending midi-notes -doesnt work- X connecting serial clock to serial out on DINX1 module (for faking input) gives note and cc messages -works- tested 74HC165 in another device (not MIDIbox) -works- swapped PIC18460 -doesn't work- X checked RC-line (i.e. load pin of 74HC165 = pin1) with oscilloscope in 250ns resolution: line is always 5V -???? X checked for shorts, every permutation -none found- I've checked the connections on the DINx1 dozens of times. It seems to be all good. Question: for a control surface A (4 buttons + 1 encoder, with button, DINX1) with 16x2 lcd, is there anything specific I have to do in the code? It still could be the veroboard build of the dinx1, but i doubt that. See attached pics. Any help is very appreciated. SB

Hi all, I just stopped by to check if my experiences are right... 1 In my mios c program (user_tick function) i used a modulo division like counter%divider and divider was a unsigned, non zero value, which caused the program to crash and the pic to start over. Using a number did't. I could think of workarounds, but I am curious to hear yours 2 the same happened with 3 nested ifs, again I am working on a workaround, but I am equally happy to hear yours. Is there a list of Mios8 don't in C programming?

Hi *, I wanted to setup the tool chain for MIOS8 development. I downloaded Eclipse 3.1 but I cannot find a CDT version for it anymore. The nightly builds page of CDT only provides CDT 3.2.1 (http://archive.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/builds/3.1.2/index.html) which builds against Eclipse 3.2 Could anyone share a link? Or is there a newer toolchain? Best Regards, Ck
