kingnerk Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi, Ok, so I have built my core and all my modules. I have uploaded MIOS and got the READY status on my LCD.I then downloaded the setup_midibox64.hex file and uploaded that to my core. Was this the right thing to do?Now instead of the ready status it just flicks through a load of numbers constantly and doesnt stop with only the core connected.Is there actually a default midibox 64 app or do i HAVE to install all the C editing software and build my own?Do i have to have all my faders/buttons/pots connected before I can actually tell if all my modules are working or can I just connect 1 module and a few buttons and see it communicating anywhere??As far as I can tell I just need to fill in the blank:Build modulesUpload MIOS??play with finished midibox!Sorry for the newb post, i really have spent ages trying to work out whats next, I actually thought the build bit would be the hardest part!If anyone could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it.CheersNEil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 You should at least connect your AIN Modules.With no AIN Modules, the Analog Input of the Core Module is floating and therefore showing random numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Napiks Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 you just need to connect your buttons(DIN) /pots(AIN) /LEDs(DOUT) to your modules (and dont forget to claimb all unused analog inputs to ground)and then get freaky ;) ;) ;)greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janis1279 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 You can made your own MB64 configuration in the setup_midibox64.asm file (open it in the Word Pad , easy to edit) .Regards, Janis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingnerk Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 thanks guys. So im pretty close? Just so im clear, the display acting weird is because I dont have an AIN board attached (and therefore grounded)If i attach the AIN and a few faders and ground the empty pins I should technically have a working midibox? (YAY!)Janis1279:I have opened the .asm file, and i dont really get WHY i need to edit this file? Once I have all my faders etc connected then i will look closer at editing the midibox app. I take it I will have to edit it if I want the display to read out something different when turning a pot for example?Thanks for the help. I just felt I was going in circles and thought I may have to learn C just to use it :)Im pretty nifty with Flash actionscript which is similar to C, but thats the next phase!cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(MB64 is written entirely in Assembler anyhow, right?) It's mere adapting a bunch of settings, e.g. how many DINs and AINs are connected. look into the setup_midibox64.asm, it's all nicely explained there.After that, it should be working :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avogra Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 yep :) just go through the whole file. I haven't looked closely into it, but i guess there are some other settings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
