mr_DK Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Hello,I recently bought some GM5 boards to make 2 units for my PC, one board with 10 MIDI in and one board with 10 MIDI outs.I bought the little PCB's and I want to create the breakout board. But I had a few little questions about that:The only LED that is on the GM5 PCB is this the USB status LED?Does anyone has a simple schematic for led drivers so I can connect a LED to each midi port? I wanted to know this things before I order the front panels. I just finished the design.Curious about the comments...Thanks!Best regardsHansPS I'm also working on a MIDI router, which will be posted soon, and a MBLC. I hope that I can tell you more about them soon.
nILS Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 The midibox LTC has a LED driver on it so you can check out that schem at ucapps.de. What I did in the gm5x5x5 was to simply use an inverter (74HC14) to buffer the signal and the (the schem for that is linked to from a thread in the forum, search for "midi splitter").
mr_DK Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Hey,Thanks for the reply! Sorry about the stupid question, it was quite logic that the LTC module contained a nice and clear LED buffer.So only the last question remains, (I hope I don't start to get on your nervs...) is the only LED on the GM5 PCB monitoring the USB status? (just to be sure, so I can order the panels at schaeffer)Thanks again!!Best,Hans
nILS Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 The one LED on the gm5 pcb is a "midi monitor" LED. It shows the activity of all 5 IO ports.
Amiga-Falcon Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 If you w3ant to have a sperate MIDI-status led for each midi in or out,you should try the schematics from the LTC Module.This one works very fine together with the gm5.regards,amiga-falcon

nILS Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 If you w3ant to have a sperate MIDI-status led for each midi in or out......it would be easiest to get a gm5x5x5 ;-)
mr_DK Posted February 6, 2009 Author Report Posted February 6, 2009 Indeed it is, I only discovered the bulk order page of the GM 5x5x5 a week after I ordered my PCBS.Thanks for all the replies! 8)Best
