What to program in PIC18F4620 for midibox64?

[FJMSoft]

Hello there, I want to build a midibox64, I'm a bit lost, what should I program first in the PIC18F4620? Where to get?

Please, step by step if you can.

Thanks.

1st: Burn bootloader.

Where to get it: ucapps.de -> MIOS -> Download

2nd: Upload MIOS

Where to get it: ucapps.de -> MIOS -> Download

3rd: Upload mb64 app

Where to get it: ucapps.de -> MIOS -> Download

;D

its this???

1st. mios_update_v1_9f.zip ==> file: mios_update_v1_9f\pic18f4620\burner\bootloader_v1_2b_pic18f4620.hex

2nd. mios_update_v1_9f.zip ==> file: mios_update_v1_9f\pic18f4620\mios_v1_9f_pic18f4620.hex

3rd. midibox64_v2_4b.zip ==> midibox64_v2_4b\setup_midibox64.hex (Via midi)

its right?

2nd is via midi, too :-)

Hi again... I've mounted JDM programmer, and tried to burn the PIC with winpic800... just selected JDM on COM1, it detected the PIC18F4620, so I loaded the HEX file, and clicked program all... it taken less than 5 seconds, said it is ok... so I clicked verify... took very longer, said ok too (made this many times)... this means it is burn properly?

I became a bit confused with a page config... with many strange configurations, for me looks like Microcontroller configuration... I need to change something? I leave untouched...

How do I program the rest which is by midi... with mios studio?

If I want to do this in a protoboard, what is needed?

Thanks!

[nILS]

The easy route would be to stick the PIC in a core. If you wanna do it on protoboard you'll need the PIC, the power parts then MIDI In and the MIDI out parts.

[FJMSoft]

Thanks nILS!

About the burning, you think it gone ok? How can I test if its ok?

[nILS]

If verifying succeeds it's very unlikely that it did not work ;-)

[FJMSoft]

What happens if I upload more than one time the mios update or the midibox application via midi?

[nILS]

Nothing. If you re-upload MIOS you'll delete the application you may have uploaded earlier, but other than that, nothing will happen.

Thanks a lot nILS... Its working!!!
