1 LCD for 2 cores ?

[gillesdeshays]

Can i use only one 2x16 LCD for 2 Cores ?

i want to see the values changing of my second Core with mb64e soft ...

Do i have to connect the 2 cores in  Midi ?

Thanks gillesdeshays :)

I'm very interrested int that too. Having one display for more than one core for troubleshooting.

For this you need to check out the MB_LINK http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_link.html

I wanted to do this a while ago.... The application's in their present state will not do this (I think)

Some working with the code is needed to tell the FP core to send the LCD info to the EP core for display.

peace

i had the same idea of you. i  originally planned to put the sequencer and 2 sids in the same case, sharing the same control surface and LCD.

then the sids didnt worked, so for now i have only the seq...

my idea was to use a switch with a lot of poles, like to one that was used to switch between to parallel printer (in old computers, usually this "device" was found in some offices).

i would have connected the core LCD and the DIN DOUT pins (named Jx) o the switch and from here to the appropriate pin of its module.

i'm sure it will work, but i didnt tested.

PS: the power from LCD and modules in my project came from a custom "power module" and it wasn't connected to the multipole switch.
