Don't understand me wrong: I'm not interested in programming a .wav player, it's too boring and the result wouldn't be very useful for making music. But feel welcome to program this by yourself ;-)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

It's maybe a very stupid question, coz everyone seems to know the answer, so I'd rather ask and seem stupid than never get the answer... ???

OK - I'm fresh in this forum, and haven't yet built anything of the stuff in here. I stumbled across this page searching for SID stuff. I had heard that enthusiasts still made use of the chip, so I wondered how, and I got my answers in here, so I decided to build my own SID synth + + - all depends on the thickness of my wallet - heh wich seems to be rather slim at the moment, so I'll just settle for planning the projects for now. ;D

Well - the question. What is the TV thing used for? Is it an alternative to the LCD's? :-[

thanks for sending me the forum account info Thorsten! :)

Yeah, it was intended to be sometime.

The current state is that it just prints some "MIOS" message on the screen.

As the resolution won´t be to high and it definitely will stay black/white it´s just something like a bigger LCD. TK is stuffed up with work at the moment (MBSeq / AOUT and other things) so this is some "some other time" candidate at the moment I guess.

Greetz!

[quote]On an electroni french magazine, there is a schematic for :

Speaking PIC !!!!

you load some ".wav" (without header) into a 24c256.....

and the PIC (with a simple resistor network DAC) outs your audio file !!!!

/quote]

what if this was used to implement a sampler type module i see alot of mixers drum machines with dedicated sounds on a pad seems like an easy clone

TK: Any news about this? What about hires using bigger pic? What about colour? What about VGA?

In the meantime I had some fun with VGA on my Spartan III board... no need for PIC hacking anymore ;-)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

What do you mean? Then are true the rumours out there that midibox will use FPGA technology in the future? That could be too interesting...

Does this toy will be released in the future? I have a few old VGA monitors that can start to being really very useful with that 8)

Except timofonic is asking about VGA, and this app outputs PAL video

VGA is nice and easy but you need a pin for hsync, a pin for vsync, and 3 pins for R, G, and B.

If we could get all of those, you could do multicolored stuff!

This is a project worth persuing... after I learn some more ASM, I'd hope to contribute to this! (no PAL here :'()

Right, I know this topic's getting a little old now, but how's this sound...

TV resolution, frame rate etc are limited by available memory, and the app to display to a TV takes up most of the rest of the memory leaving no room for anything musical.

1. PIC18F4620 has a lot more memory than the 452, so can this be used for more code / resolution?

2. Could a driver be written that uses the MBHP_TV as a large (G)LCD, running off a second MBHP_CORE?

EDIT: I know it annoys people to say this, I know it certainly annoys me, but my programming skills are nowhere near good enough to implement this, I just came up with the idea and thought it best to post it before I forgot..

The driver being written... maybe with super heavy modding to the whole core module...

I dont know where this app spits out its signals, but you could use an AOUT for VGA, which would be 0volts (zero brightness) to .7 volts.

Of course R, G, and B, and 2 syncs... It could be done!
