jpjsenior Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hi, I am hoping to build a midi to CV converter using the LPC17 Core module and the AOUT_NG. I would also like the same core to provide 4 Midi outs so it can act as a midi router as well. Is this possible? I have seen the quad IIC kit in the SmashTV shop which looks ideal. Have been trying to find info on using this along with the Midi to CV 2 but haven't found anything so thought I'd ask. Also, if it is compatible, can I still use the DOUT trick to get additonal Gates out for the CV converter? Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Theoretically it is possible to connect both AOUT_NG and QUAD IIC. The big question is what application are you going to run on the LPC17 for this? MB CV is PIC_Core and MB CV V2 is still in progress and the new STM32F4 is highly recommended for this. Looking at http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_cv_v2.html the DOUT option is available. Edited February 18, 2014 by Shuriken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Did you also consider, that STM32F4 has already 4 MIDI OUT (and 4 MIDI IN) ports in conjunction with the two (upcoming) MBHP_MIDI_IO boards? (Ignore the RTP MIDI extension at the right side, and IIC MIDI at the left side...) This might be the best solution. :smile: Best Regards, Thorsten.

jpjsenior Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 thanks for your replies. originally I was going for the core 8 and midi cv 1 as it appeared to have a more straightforward build and documentation, but I kept reading on here how much improved things are with the newer cores so decided that would be best for my current purposes and any future additions or changes I might like to make. i didn't realise that midi cv2 isn't released yet. haven't read much about the stm32f core either. this shows I need to do more reading! I will investigate further, thanks 2 both of you for the help:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpjsenior Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've had a think and for the sake of getting something up and running quickly, I'm going with the core 8 and cv1 along with a quad IIC as originally planned. I'm not sure i'll be using many of the more advnced features of the new software for my current needs. Has anyone any recommendation/experience with this older set-up? pitfalls, things to make sure I get/avoid? Cheers, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sure looks like there is a STM32F4 PCB in the works....... :) Interesting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuriken Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Yes there certainly is: and it is looking very cool indeed Edited February 20, 2014 by Shuriken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smashtv Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Hi guys, Connector fit test went very well - Waiting for the PCB fabrication to be completed. To those waiting on an 'in process' order: I am pacing a hole in the floor waiting on some incoming parts. I have not forgot about you and I will ship ASAP.

sneakthief Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Tim: The new SD slot looks good. I'm testing the beta core you sent TK and everything is working perfectly here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
