Problem with CORE! Please help me! :(

[Los Zelos]

Hi guys, Im newbie in midibox, and i have problem with CORE module. I tried to find anwer in this forum, and i found one topic, where guy had short-circuit there. I found also one small short-circuit, but now im checked both PCB - LTC and CORE and i think that everythink is okay. I also read about ID field therefore i downloaded PICPgm Programmer and tried to power up. Still i only get this pictures:

 

And ID field in programmer must look like this ? : 

 

btw .. I had shorted 6 and 9 pins of pic18f452 ... Is it real, that i send this output to silicon's sky ? 

 

I tryied everthing and im sad that i cannot continue in building ... :(

 

therefore PLEASE HELP :(

 

here is fuses from programer...

You're not giving much info here.  What programmer did you use to flash the bootloader and MIOS?

[Los Zelos]

I use JDM programmer from this page: http://www.schematics.wz.cz/schemata-PIC_Programator.html . With this programmer i tryied to load bootloader, if i understood right, i have to upload first bootloader with any programmer and connect the core via LTC to pc, after that, mios must show me that core is connected and with mios studio upload mios fw ? 

[Altitude]

why are you using LTC? It's an obsolete module and not needed (at all).  You flash the bootloader with a PIC programmer, then upload MIOS via MIDI, then upload the app via midi

Why ? I started with simple building for first start. I dont need super device, i will be satisfied with old solution. I built only http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_core.html, because i want to only copy "Traktorizer". I ordered interface cable USB to MIDI and im waiting for that from China. I have also only intergrated soundcard , therefore i cannot connect to Joystick connector,  however now i have free COM port and therefore i wanted to try connect via that. Also on older computer i have Win XP , otherwise i have Win 7. I tryied that with YAMAHA To-HOST driver.

 

 Think you , that better is USB module from here ? http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_usb_gm5.html ... 

 

Here is cable from China: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-IN-OUT-MIDI-Interface-Cable-Converter-PC-to-Music-Keyboard-Adapter-Cord-/271286969299?pt=US_Cables_Snakes_Interconnects&hash=item3f29f6a3d3 

 

What way will be best for me ? 

 

btw, must i build the programmer from here with win soft for programming P18   http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_burner.html ? Or is my JDM programmer with  PICPgm sufficient ?

YESSSS !!!! I found mistake in ID Location. I have to burn chip with 0000 0000 0000 0001! The code 0000 0000 0000 0000 is only for MIDI interface , if you using LTC you must change location. I found calculator @ www.midibox-shop.com/idgen.html and tried to reprogramme device. After that Mios write me your board is connected ^.^ 

 

Im satisfied and happy that my board running up!! :)))

[Los Zelos]

Okay, board runing up but i have still problem with stable connection.

 

when i start mios studio board is connected

 

sometimes mios show me :

 

after when i restart mios studio , sometimes board dont want to run up and mios show me screenshot 2.

 

when i want to upload project.hex via mios studio, MS show me :

 

where is next wrong ??

The LTC module was used back in 2000 as a cheap MIDI interface replacement.

It was the time of Windows 98 and ME.

Unfortunately today (15 years later!) the drivers don't work properly with newer windows versions anymore. :-(

 

Use a cheap MIDI interface, it's more reliable!

But please don't buy this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-IN-OUT-MIDI-Interface-Cable-Converter-PC-to-Music-Keyboard-Adapter-Cord-/271286969299?pt=US_Cables_Snakes_Interconnects&hash=item3f29f6a3d3%C2%A0

It's on the black list: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=midi_interface_blacklist

 

Instead I recommend a "Neusonik uMIDI/O22" which is cheap as well, but very reliable.

Very thanks, i used YAMAHA driver, and , red diode blinking every 2 secons. First idea was that drivers don't work properly. But out data (sending green diode have normal function). I also bought new chip and reprogramme with bootloader, now after complete check board and i dont know, where is mistake... I try to buy your solutions. Again thanks!

Hello Los Zelos,

 

I have the same problem with my MF NG boards, I've you solved your problem ?!

 

Best regards.
