TK. Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Hi *,MIOS release V1.4 is now available for download, it provides following features:the IIC functions are now open for public, they can be used to access any IIC compatible device via port J4 in parallel to the BankSticks. Example: see the lcd7_iic driverthere are two new hooks available which allow to monitor the incoming and outgoing MIDI traffic with zero latency: USER_MIDI_NotifyRx and USER_MIDI_NotifyTx.The motorfader driver now works much better with panasonic faders. New recommented calibration values: Alps: 0x0e@8V, Panasonic: 0x0c@8Vautomatic debouncing has been added to the SRIO driver which compensates temporal spikes caused by low-cost buttons. See also the detailed description of the MIOS_SRIO_DebounceSet function. Just add this function at the beginning of your application (below USER_Init) if required.a new display type #6 has been added which redirects single characters and strings to the MIDI interface. The used protocol is documented in the http://www.ucapps.de/mios/mios_sysex_implementation.txta LCD message receiver has been added to the MIDI processor. Incoming characters will be print for 2 seconds on screen. Btw.: the same protocol will be supported by MBHP_TV in the next daysit's now possible to write directly into a BankStick via MIDI. This opens the possibility to embed the BankStick content into the application by locating the data to address range 0x400000-0x407fff (24LC256; 32k) resp. 0x400000-0x40ffff (24LC512; 64k). Also the upload to multiple BankSticks is supported with the BankStick select functionit's now possible to read directly from internal Flash/EEPROM and external BankStick via MIDI. This is a nice debugging help, but opens also the possibility to create backups and to copy (clone) the content of a BankStickNew/Updated applications - in principle all applications are upward-compatible, some of them have been enriched by new functions:bs_xfer_v1_4 contains a step-by-step guide how to write, read and edit the BankStick content. Contains also a syx2asm.pl scriptlcd7_t6963c_h and lcd7_t6963c_v GLCD type #1 has been isolated from the official MIOS release and are now available as seperate moduleslcd7_iic example for accessing an IIC device, also an example how to realize a custom display drivermidibox_lc_v1_4 now provides software implemented MIDI Rx/Tx LEDs, LED meters and three different touch sensor modesmidibox_sid_v1_5c_18f_stepC now also provides software implemented MIDI Rx/Tx LEDs. The Play mode bug in the CFG menu has been fixed, and the MIDI clock is now processed by USER_MIDI_NotifyRx with zero latencyHave fun! :)Best Regards, Thorsten.

Guest Da5id Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 So, how many devices does the IIC bus allow?I'm having some ideas about using digital potentiometers for analog effects control... Still a bit (!) over my head, but the thoughts are percolating in my mind...Overall, these advancments seem to open a lot of doors for major expansions upon the MidiBox/MIOS paradigm.

Guest domas Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 My theory: the IIC bus allow as many devices as want as long as every node have specific adress.All thanks for a new MIOS goes to TK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted October 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 correct - it depends on the used IIC devices. You should find the required informations in the appr. datasheets.Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
