shobley Posted September 10, 2005 Report Posted September 10, 2005 Hi,I've been studying the MIDIOS system, so far I'm a bit confused... ???I think I want to build a midi box64 - I say think because I either need that or the MIDI0128 - to process MIDI data for this project:http://www.stephenhobley.com/Site/content/view/36/55/It seems that all the parts for a MID box 64 are available from http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/buy.htmlSo I need to buy a core module, and the DIN module? I think I'll order the DOUT and AIN as well in case I ever decide to use them.Do I need the PIC programmed with the bootstrap loader - it appears that I do. Also what should I put in the PIC header ID field when ordering? I don't know what this means.If someone wiser could help me out it would be appreciated.Thanks!Steve

If you just want to send Note ON/OFF MIDIO128 is the simplest aplication you can use. But as all the application use the same hardware modules, you could change to MB64 later.So I need to buy a core module, and the DIN module?Yes thats the simplest setup to midify your laser harp.Do I need the PIC programmed with the bootstrap loader - it appears that I do.If you have no PIC programmer, order it with already burned bootloader.Also what should I put in the PIC header ID field when ordering? I don't know what this means.Have you read this page: http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap.htmlThe ID depends on the display you use, the SysEx ID for the Core and the Interface type.There is a easy-to-use ID calculator on SmashTV's site: http://avi.dezines.com/mbhp/idgen.htmlTo have different SysEx IDs is only important for Multi-Core setups like the MidiBox SID with 4 cores. So just choose 0x00 for your first Core.If you don't want to use a display, just choose the "character" type as this is the most commen display type.So just order a PIC with ID = 0000000000000000. (Assuming you want to use MIDI and not RS232 connection).Hope this helps,Raphael
