MIDIbox8 to COM....

[ladybug]

i want to add a COM interface to the existing DIN interface on the MIDIbox 8 >>> not replace,ADD !

how do i do this ???

I have allready been there and seen that, but it shows that a connetcion have to be made to the PIC 25+26 pins >>> those are the SAME as the DIN !!!

should they both (DIN + COM) be connected to the same place ??

that is two lines going to the PICs 25+26

If I understand the question, you want to have MIDI in and Out Ports AND a COM port? I don't think this is possible:

(only one driver is allowed for the Rx Input of the PIC, either the 6N138, or the MAX232, or a second Core module)

(from the LTC Module descrition page)

If you really need this, I think you would have to use another CORE as a MidiMerger. Hope this helps.

As an afterthought - if you need both, but not at the same time, you could make them both and then put a switch on pins 25 & 26 to choose which interface is active.

those were my thoughts too, but (although i dont understand a word of german) i have seen this done in the "midibox-plus-hardware-tutorial" by Heico .

it is clearly seen on his backside of the box, and it is also seen in the explanation

would some1 please look at what he have done and explain - in english - how it is built/possible ?!

Heico just built an option into his box which enables him to connect the MIDIbox directly with the gameport without a MIDI interface. But he isn't able to use both, the MIDI-In and the Gameport plug, at the same time.
