adeser Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 I've done some midibox projects in the past (2x midibox8 and 1 midibox16-lcd), but I know so very little about programming. Now I have a FireFace 800 Audio interface and I need to build a very simple 1 knob volume (CC 7) midi controller. I have some PIC16F84 04/P chips lying around that I want to use. Has anyone made something similar ? Can I program the PIC with the MIDIbox 8 (1998) and not use the expensive MAX 186 ? Quote
FantomXR Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 Maybe it's easier for you to take a Teensy. There is a MIDI-Library available. It's small and easy to handle. Quote
mono Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 ...even an arduino would do! the pic16f84 has no a/d converters built in, whereas the arduino comes with 6 10-bit a/d-converters + usb. also the pic is not that easy to program, unless you have the pickit (or something similar) already. overall i would say, that midibox for a single channel is a bit "over the top"...;-) Quote
adeser Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Posted November 23, 2014 I decided to go with PIC16F877 and MIDIbox Plus 8 pot and no LCD. Quote
