adeser Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantomXR Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mono Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adeser Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I decided to go with PIC16F877 and MIDIbox Plus 8 pot and no LCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
