MB64 Lash-up

[mikee]

Hi folks, got my first MB app off the ground at last.

Threw my stuff together, dying to do a few pot-tests and play around with Ableton.

Expected many hours of tracing obscure dry joints and dead mice in the works as i never used a fancy printed board - just a plain non-copper perf board, but all worked extremely well indeed. My compliments to the Main Man.

I intend to throw many more switches onto the board, 32 are too few. I will go up to 128 switches.

Don't need leds - i can see what's happening on my monitor.

Cannot increase pot above 64 without second 16f452, but 64 is loads for now.

I burnt the chip, then uploaded setup hex file then after that i uploaded Mios, all via MIDI of course. I expected it to fail beacuse the write-ups say Mios first, then app setup second. Anyway, it worked a treat!!!

Sitting at my desk surrounded by a huge rat's nest, feeling good.

Psu runs stone cold. Its an old 12V supply from a PC100, and I whacked a couple of op-amps and a few power transistors to give me 5V. I really should reduce the initial supply to about 7v. But what can one do?

I liked the little pot-levels on the display!

See ya all again folks - keep on boxin'
