andrea Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 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.By

MTE Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I use the JDM with the program "WinPIC"...cause "IC-Prog" makes too many failures on programming my 16F877...
