MONSTA Posted July 12, 2009 Report Posted July 12, 2009 Hey people,I'm making a MidiBox64 and have built a PIC based Core (with LCD) and 1xDIN Module, uploaded the MIOS and installed the midibox64 app. Originally the LCD just cycled through a hundred messages a second, so had to edit the asm file, compile the app again and upload it. Now I get: int N and a load of squares, the first of which is flashing on the first line, then on the second I get: @Reverb # 1 64. I've tried with a piece of wire to make the connection between several posts on the DIN and the corresponding ground (vs+d4 for instance), but can't get it to send a midi message (whats the best app to use for OSX that will monitor MIDI, instead of me jumping into Traktor and pressing the midi learn).I've attached the asm file I'm using, if one of you wouldn't mind having a quick look at it to make sure I'm not being stupid, or give some advice on which posts to test. I just want to get one button setup to send a message to my computer then I can continue with the project.Thank you very much for all the great info here, as well as the replies to peoples questions in the forum, i've spent most of my time trauling those for information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank YouChristiansetup_midibox64.asmsetup_midibox64.asm Quote
MONSTA Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 Anyone? A point in the right direction would be helpful, I'm going no-where at the minute, but will give it another go. Quote
philetaylor Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 Hi.your .asm file looks OK to me. Does everything work OK if the DIN module isn't connected?I would try something like http://www.ucapps.de/mios/srio_interconnection_test_v1b.zip which allows you to test DIN/DOUT interconnections.ThanksPhil Quote
MONSTA Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 Thanks!Yeah everything works ok without the DIN module connected, I'll try that test application tonight.Thank you very much! Quote
MONSTA Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Posted September 24, 2009 Ok I've been away from this longer than I would have like, but I'm finally back to testing. Before I go and ruin anything, I've got my Core and one DIN module with only one button connected. Do I need to remove all the other chips and ground unused pins back to VS (while using this srio_interconnectTest)? Or am I good to go with leaving the chips in and not grounding anything?Thanks for any help, I hope to get it all going over the weekend! Quote

MONSTA Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Posted September 28, 2009 Ok wicked. So I'm going to connect my full DIN to just one button soon and see how we get on :)Thanks for the info! Quote
