old floorboard PCB

[andrea]

Hi,

I am planning to build a simple controller tha sends program change message when you push a button. I think that the old foorboard project suit perfectly my need.

It would be great if someone would show me where I can find the PCB.

Meanwhile I was wandering that I can build a simple midibox64, connecting only few push button and few pot( for example 32 button and 32 put) In this case I have a question:

can I load the complete midibox64_v2.4 in the pic or I have to program a new application.

Thank you very much for you kind attention.

Thank you for your great reply!!

I am glad to find someone that could help me to build this project;I  am new in electronic and PIC world ; :)

Just another question: which programmed did you use to flash the PIC?

Thank you again

[MTE]

I use the JDM with the program "WinPIC"...cause "IC-Prog" makes too many failures on programming my 16F877...

Thank you MTE!

I have PIC16F877-20/P and I red in this forum that it can be used for this project in place of PIC16F874.

Do I have to change something in the firmware or I can load floorboard_v1001.hex file without any change?

I'm sorry for these stupid question but I'm new!

[MTE]

Prot a noblem :)

yoh just load this .hex into the 16F877 and enjoy  :D
