Hawkeye Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 A happy new year to all current and future TPD users :) That is is the great thing about open source and hardware, that initial ideas and hardware hacks can evolve, when people find them interesting. Ilmenator has done a great job and made a great PCB! Thanks! :flowers: Cheers and have a great time! :) Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMIDIRIN Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 ilmenator or Hawkeye can you help me with the SR config, just built mine and have some signs its working but the only config on the wiki is for seq including 16x4 blm. I have wilba pcb + tpd only. Or have i missed the config somewhere else on ucapps? Thanks too for a great addition. Not too much stress with the smd, plenty of space compared to some i have worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Hi Smidirin, Great, that you´ve got it all soldered up, and i am glad, Ilmenator created that fine PCB and TK improved the code! This would be the relevant config section in the MBSEQ_V4.HW file - don´t change the 16x4 BLM section, but this one instead: ################################################## # Optional LED Track Position Display # See also http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=tpd_pcb ################################################## # set to 1 or 2 to enable the relative track position display # 0: TPD disabled # 1: TPD enabled - columns are cathodes, rows are anodes # 2: TPD enabled - columns are anodes, rows are cathodes TPD_ENABLED 0 # define the DOUT shift register to which the columns are connected (0=disabled) TPD_COLUMNS_SR_L 0 # for a 16x16 TPD: define the SR to which the right columns are connected (0=disabled, use only 8x8 TPD) TPD_COLUMNS_SR_R 0 # define the DOUT shift register to which the green LED rows are connected (0=disabled) TPD_ROWS_SR_GREEN_L 0 # define the DOUT shift register to which the right green LED rows are connected (0=disabled, use only 8x8 TPD) TPD_ROWS_SR_GREEN_R 0 # define the DOUT shift register to which the red LED rows are connected (0=disabled) TPD_ROWS_SR_RED_L 0 # define the DOUT shift register to which the right red LED rows are connected (0=disabled, use only 8x8 TPD) TPD_ROWS_SR_RED_R 0 Also, have a look at the "optional bpm digits" and "optional step display" sections and modify those. The newest MBSEQ V4 hardware config file is available for download here: http://svnmios.midibox.org/listing.php?repname=svn.mios32&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsequencers%2Fmidibox_seq_v4%2Fhwcfg%2Fwilba%2F Edit: there seems to be a slight problem web downloading files with the given svn repository link above - never mind, you could just click on the file, mark its contents and copy&paste it to your favourite editor. Many greets, Peter Edited January 23, 2014 by Hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 To make it easy, you could simply count down the shift registers on the BLM 16x4 that are not physically there in your setup. The BLM 16x4 uses 6 DOUT SRs and 2 DIN SRs. Starting from the config file in the Wiki (that includes the BLM 16x4 setup), in the part of the config file that Hawkeye is referencing above, reduce the number behind each TPD DOUT SR by 6, and behind each TPD DIN SR by 2. Also, make sure that you deactivate the BLM matrix, i.e. change ################################################## # Optional BLM Matrix ################################################## # set this value to 1 if each track has its own set of 16 LEDs to display unmuted steps and current sequencer position # or if you are using a button/led matrix for misc. button/LED functions BLM_ENABLED 1 to ################################################## # Optional BLM Matrix ################################################## # set this value to 1 if each track has its own set of 16 LEDs to display unmuted steps and current sequencer position # or if you are using a button/led matrix for misc. button/LED functions BLM_ENABLED 0 Once you have this up and running correctly, please send me your new config file and I'll add it to the Wiki for others!

borfo Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) So, turns out the LED matrixes I ordered are too big - had to order more. In the meantime, I tried plugging my TPD module in without the LED matrixes. I set up the config file (the TPD is connected to my wilba frontpanel). The tempo encoder works, but the LED segment numbers don't seem to be working - two segments are lit on all the numbers, see the picture below. Could this be because the LED matrixes are not soldered on yet, or is this a symptom of a soldering problem? The 7-segment LED numbers are these ones: http://ca.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kingbright/SC39-12GWA/?qs=JpELLRhtMc3ti3iuxtHgpw== I want to make sure I haven't screwed up any of the SMD soldering under the LED matrixes before I solder them on.

ilmenator Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm afraid this rather looks like a soldering problem on one or two of the pins on the ICs that are connected to the 7-segments. I am traveling until Friday evening so it is hard for me to diagnose remotely, but if you looked at the schematics in the Wiki you might see which are the pins at fault.
