mgalper Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi there,I started testing my Core and I am not sure if I should be frustrated...I got smash tv's PIC (loaded with MIOS) and did all the wire testing...yet, I am not seeing anything on MIDI In.Is this becuase I haven't uploaded any applications? MIDI interface issues? (running over USB)Help!btw: how can I upload apps over a mac? MIOS Studio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 What does the LCD do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgalper Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 no LCD module yet...it is that importante, uh?M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well it is handy, because if your core midi is not working, you don't have any other means of feedback... So how do you start to troubleshoot?But it's very unlikely that anything is wrong with the PIC itself when it is new from smash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj3nk Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Have you already done a "LED check" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgalper Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Nope. I did try MIOS studio's debugging tool, though. That's as far as I gone, but it seems MIOS Studio doesn't recogniza my USB interface... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3nk Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 http://ucapps.de/howto_debug_midi.htmlwhen all checks are ok your core pcb should be fine. I dont know if you just have smashs pic or a board of his too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgalper Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 board is entirely my responsability. went through the troubleshooting page, though, all seems ok.just downloaded snoize's MIDI monitor, to check whether is an issue of seeing the activity more so than producing it.On this point, however, having not connected any DINS, AINS, DOUTs, etc. I am really expecting a lot of random activity in the MIDI in monitor? (this is my working hypothesis)?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj3nk Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 If just the MIOS bootloader is on the pic you should see a continuing sysex string, the upload request. Random activity should happen when you loaded an application like MB64 and no ain etc is connected. This doesnt happen when you ground the inputs on the core. With an uploaded application just one upload request is sent when your box is powered on.helps ?greetz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgalper Posted March 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 at this point I'm beginning to suspect the home-made USB interface I use (this guy I know did it) might have something to do with it, but will finish the lcd module first. Any experience with odd USB interfaces? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
