Connecting 4x MF_NG modules

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I built 4x the MF_NG module. The first one is working fine.

Questions:
How do I connect and program the MF_NG modules among each other?
Like this?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29658831/midibox/midibox_mf_ng_1.cdr

And set the mode to "link forward" at all modules, just set the last module to "link endpoint"?

And... I guess I have to set the device ID for each MF_NG module? But how do I have to set the device ID? Can't find any adjustable value within the MIOS software?

Thanks,

Roelli.

I can't get it working. :rolleyes:

 

I tried to use the step by step instructions shown in the readme file when downloading the "change_id_v1_9g.zip" file.
But the link is dead:  http://www.ucapps.de/howto_tools_gpasm.html

My PICs already burned. So i guess the easiest way is to use mpsam.
I tried that, changed the the id in main.asm


from:

 

#define MIOS_DEVICE_ID   0x00    ; the device ID (0x00-0x7f)

 

to:

 

to #define MIOS_DEVICE_ID   0x01    ; the device ID (0x00-0x7f)

 


Not sure if 0x01 will be correct, is this correct for my 5 MF_NG modules? :
0x00=Device 1 (Motorfader 1-8)
0x01=Device 2(Motorfader 9-16)
0x02=Device 3 (Motorfader 17-24)
0x03=Device 4 (Motorfader 25-32)

0x04=Device 5 (Motorfader 33-40)

 

I get 115 errors.

Cannot open file (Include File "mios.h" not found)

 


Hmm... "mios.h" is located in /include/asm/mios.h
I tried to copy everything to /include/  but that doesn't help. :shifty:

Help! :rofl:

Idea: What about putting the assembled file with IDs 1-10 online so that everyone can download them?
(I guess that people who want to build more then 10 devices will know how to do it anyway) :smile:

Thanks!

Roelli.

Hi Roelli

The NG doesn't support more than 4 MF_NG Modules and the .Hex files for those 4 Modules are in the change_id app included. So you shouldn't need to set up the tool chain. All trough your right that the link is somehow miss leading...

post-10711-0-47380100-1425807176_thumb.p

Then you have to go on with configureing them to "Midibox Link Forwarding point" in the "MIOS_Studio" "MBHP_MF_NG" "TOOL" dropdown. Serial Out then has to be linked to the Serial In of next MF_NG Module and the Last Module has to be set to "Midibox Link End Point" and connected to the Serial In of your Core.

best regards
