demym Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi to all,in this last week i've read a lot on this site. I'm a noob in electronics, but i have good programming experience. I would like to build a Midibox LC, but i want to do that by steps: at first i got the Core Module and an LCD, and i would like to build only a display for my BCF2000.. And if all goes right, i would like to add further modules next.I think i've understood that for the moment i need a Core module and an LCD (and to short J15 pins for the encoders not present at the moment).. Am i on the right road ?Excuse triviallity of my question, but reading all this stuff all together has introduced some confusion.....Thanks a lot in advanceEdit: to simplify my question, it was: can i build a midibox starting with core and adding all other modules (eventually) after ?? I would like to try at first the MIOS on LCD, and then add encoders, buttons, etcc..Thanks once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugfight Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 yes.in fact, i would say this is the best way to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demym Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Good, thanks very much.Ah, i have one more question (i know you people of this forum are used to newbies multitude of questions :-)):when i ordered the PIC18F452 (because i already ordered the core and the PIC on Mike's german site), i tried the ID calculator (or something similar), and it gave me 00 00 00 00... and i left that id (it was already present in the textarea) and ordered the PIC.Should i expect some problems for not specifying a correct id (if it's not correct), and is it something that one can change afterwards ?Thanks very much, have a nice time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugfight Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 that id is fine for starters, and you can change it later if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (and to short J15 pins for the encoders not present at the moment).. shorting encoder pins could be very bad.... Obviously you've been doing some reading, can you point me to where you saw this or what it's regarding, so I can confirm?Perhaps you meant shorting the J5 pins to ground for unused pots?

demym Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 :) yes, i meant that.... sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 No worries man! Just wanted to be sure. Be careful you don't short digital pins to ground though, that won't work out so hot ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
