TK. Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Hi Matteo,you should follow the other postings, because I don't want to repeat myself every time... ;-)PIC16F: funny, but a lot of limitations. All of my PIC16F firmwares get the best out of this controller, but it is very hard to add even more featuresPIC18F: more memory, faster CPU, less limitations, same price. Order some free PIC18F452-I/P at Microchip, exchange the 20 MHz crystal by a 10 MHz crystal and you are ready for the next generation! :)Best Regards, Thorsten.

bosone Posted March 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 you should follow the other postings, because I don't want to repeat myself every time... ;-)you are absolutely right.. sorry... :Phowever, i don't think i will never take myself to upgrade my midbox 16 to a midibox 64 with faders and rotary econders and so on.. now i have just found a LCD on german ebay (i hope it will work when i will mount it) and all i want is to have access to the "snap mode" of my pots.however, i think i have understood that for SID it should be much better... damn that from distrelec (where i ordered all the things for SID and CORE module) they had not the new generation PIC!! now i have to find it in another way!

TK. Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Hi Matteo,now you will find some more informations about MIOS under Concepts->MIOS->Introduction which should explain the reasons, why the MIOS concept is more useful than the PIC16F solutions :)Best Regards, Thorsten.
