gslug Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 The flat top LEDs may be terrible with regard to assembling the case, but they look awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offe Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Made the mistake and used flat top LED's, terrible. Especially if you have to disassemble the control surface again, like I had to :-( I know exactly what you mean, I used flat top leds on my mb6582 and had to take it apart twice... Never the less, your seqv4 looks great and having seen it I might just go with flat top leds on my seqv4 that is waiting in the mail. /offe Edited September 27, 2012 by offe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamouette Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hello all !! I give you some news ! No, i'm not dead ! that screen will made me crazy, so i let it rear and working on the front pcb and faceplate. Now i will retry to work on that bad screens ! some news soon ! Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamouette Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Just to say that i have comfigured all the SEQ, and it looks like working (at minimum config !) i will continue to explore it !

Lamouette Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Hello there some news here, and some questions ! I try to use an external PSU, but i have a question, mine is +12/+5/0/-12 (Iwant to use a Aout NG) The problem is : On the LPC17 Page, it say on J1 : Optional connection to a powersupply unit (PSU). A 7V-10V transformer, or a wall adapter could be used. At least 500 mA is recommended, especially if a backlit display is connected. AC or DC doesn't matter, since the rectifier behind J1 converts to DC anyhow. Also the polarity has not to be taken into account. I thought I could power the SEQ V4 with 5V, but it looks like not, and it need 7-10V. I can see on J2, that it can be used as +5V input to power the core. Can i power all the SEQV4, including, everything needed, BLM, backlight screens,... via J2 ? If not could i use a step up voltage regulator, to come from 5V to 9V without any problem ? Something like that ? : http://www.pololu.com/product/2116 or : http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-in-1-Step-up-Step-down-Adjustable-Voltage-Module-DC-5V-9V-to-12V-12V-to-9V-5V-/271266514245?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f28be8545 Thanks for your answer.

Altitude Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Yes. You can remove the 5V regulator in this case (i'd leave the caps) .. I can see on J2, that it can be used as +5V input to power the core. Can i power all the SEQV4, including, everything needed, BLM, backlight screens,... via J2 ? ..

Lamouette Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 if i leave everything, no problem at all ? i have just to connect to J2 ? bo jumper or something to do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 No, there is no problem if you leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamouette Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Works perfectly :D Now, i have to connect a quad IIc, and a Aout_Ng ! I come back ! Thanks guyz ! Bye ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosuave Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 J2 will do it as I am running mine that way with a similar PS... Be aware of your polarity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosuave Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Also remove the jumper for USB power if it is in place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamouette Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Quad IIC working, now, let work on the AOUT_NG :purple: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmosuave Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Quad IIC working, now, let work on the AOUT_NG :purple: Did you have to add extra parts to make that module work? I saw documentation that shows it but not sure... The green led on my AOUT_NG works but i have yet to connect the bipolar supply to it yet...

Lamouette Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 What do you mean by ''Extra-parts'' ? I builded it from smashTV pcb, completed the PCB, it looks good. Also, builded the AOUT_NG yesterday, the led is on, i have to check, and calibre it today ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, builded the AOUT_NG yesterday, the led is on, i have to check, and calibre it today ! I have the one from Smash as well I guess it is just a straight connection... I just saw some documentation that showed extra parts req'd in all the documents maybe this was for roll your own.. Is your Quad IIc working? Keep us posted on the AOUT_NG... Another month and I should have mine done... Need to assemble the case and drill and cut the rear panel then stuff all the modules...

Lamouette Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yep, the Quad IIc, include all the needed parts, as well for the BLM connector, but i don,t understand where to connect the 10pin connector on the LPC17. I tried to sequence the shruthi from the Quad IIC, and it worked as well. What kind of Case are you doing ? 19in rack ? i'm acually work on a tilled case, which must fit with the 19'' frontpanel (It's quite hard to find a rack which can be used with the SEQV4, because of the little place on the top and side of the pcb.

Racking mine as well and I hear you on the space issues between the pcb and the edge of the face plate... I am constructing my case from 1/2" birch plywood... To fasten the face plate I will drill holes in the ply panels and epoxy female standoffs... For the rear I will rout a hole and inset an aluminum panel for all the midi and CV/gate connections and so forth... Once done this will go into my road case for Live PA and it looks like the DARK Time and Mbase01 will have to be removed to make space...

Lamouette Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hello ! Ok, so tested the AOUT_NG, i have the right voltage int IC3, and IC4, launched the SEQV4, but i can't mesure something like 5V at the output, i have 0v, nothing else...

Lamouette Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Because of changing my LPC17 for a STM32F4, is my wiring correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Looks like this could work. Only the BLM port is problematic, because actually this is one of the MIDI IO ports for which you've already 2 MBHP_MIDI_IO boards. Best Regards, Thorsten.

Lamouette Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) the ucapps page say : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- J5A/B Analog sources (like pots) can be connected to this port (8 pots maximum). If more analog pins should be scanned, please use the MBHP_AINSER64 module! There are also some application which use this pin as digital in- or output (mostly described in README.txt file). Alternatively J5 pins can also be used as digital input and/or output pins (MIOS32_BOARD_J5_*, see tutorial applications). And J5B.A6 (MIDI IN3) and J5B.A7 (MIDI OUT3) provide an alternative MIDI IO port as well if "#define MIOS32_UART_NUM 3" has been added to the mios32_config.h file (defines the number of UART ports). J11E This port provides four MIDI IOs at 3V level, interface to the MBHP_MIDI_IO breakout board. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought that like on the LCP17? I could use the midi out 3 alternative on J5A/B ( BLM) No way to get a BLM working in this config ?

Lamouette Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Up ? Maybe i could live with only one MIDI I/O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the BLM port is problematic, because actually this is one of the MIDI IO ports for which you've already 2 MBHP_MIDI_IO boards. Best Regards, Thorsten. I thougt i could connect up to 4 Midi I/O, so i can use one for the BLM. But in case of the use of a quac IIc with BLM port, and only one Midi I/O, i have just to connect the BLM port on J2 of the midi I/O ?

doc007 Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just a question about the encoders. Is it obligatory to take encoders with switch ? Pierre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latigid on Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 No, but they are useful for "fast" functions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
