SLP Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi,I've got a little problem with uploading the SID-app.I've got a PIC18F4685 with MIOS 1.9d , and a Core-module from Smash. If I power it on, it boots up, the Display (in 4-bit-mode due to the CAN connection with the slave, who is not connected at this moment.) shows first the MIOS-version, and then "Ready."everything is how it should be.If I connect it to the PC and power it up, I don't get any upload-requests. Neither Midi-OX nor mios-studio recieves anything.I think I didn't swap the MIDI-connections and/or their polarity.(btw.: I think I discovered a small error in the CoreV3-pdf: the Midi-out-port has 2 "M-" there.)Any suggestions to solve this problem?thx,matthiasEDIT:I solved this problem, but discovered another problem. I described it below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Have you tested the core module before or is it new? I'm guessing you have a known-good PIC there that you could try in that core, but I'd check the voltages first... Prhaps you could try that PIC (the 4685) in the known-good core too?

SLP Posted May 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm just stupid.I've soldered R8 in the wrong place :PPlease delete this thread and make me a "midibox member". please.I'm not joking. I just didn't deserve being a MB Tweaker.I'm just a 16 year old pupil who likes DIYing.Go on and read my last posts. Do you see anything helpful?

Jidis Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'm just a 16 year old pupilGREAT GOOGLY MOO. :o :o :o :oMan I envy you. Have fun and be careful. ;) ...off to find a rocking chairGeorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hah!May I direct you to my recent post Re: Odd (faulty?) CoreAnyone here never made a wiring error? Anyone? *crickets chirping* No' date=' that's what I thought :)You should see some of the things I did when my postcount was 300 ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 GREAT GOOGLY MOO. :o :o :o :oer...ok...I've seen many people doing really great things with MBHP and in my eyes it's justnot fair if i'm a "tweaker" and they're just a member.I just don't have the skills to be a "tweaker". I don't know anything about C andmicrocontrollers.Being a tweaker is kinda honor to me and I just don't deserve it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Yeh, well I'm a "guru" and you've helped me before, so STFU and puff up your chest, tweaker :DSerious man, I think you get to be a guru at 1000 posts or something, and I can assure you that I was no guru when I had that postcount. Don't take too much notice of the label, all it really is, is a marker of how much you chat.Besides... You will be surprised how much you have learned. In 500 posts or so, you'll be a guru, and half of your guru-ness will be made up of what you know right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted May 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 ok... you're probably right... ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Of course I am, I'm always right, I'm a guru ;D LOL(JOKE!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAncientOne Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 You're sixteen and have built and troubleshot a MIDIbox core. That's pretty tweaky to me. At sixteen I was having trouble building fuzz boxes that worked first time, (and we're talking about 15 parts here!).One day soon I'm going to build a radio kit - and make it work! From my first attempt at 11 to the last time I tried (18), I never ever got a radio kit to receive much of anything.One definition of an expert is "a person who has made all the possible mistakes in a narrow field". Some of the most important abilities are those that relate to finding and fixing your mistakes. Electronics offers a huge range of ways to make a technical fool of yourself. Add music,and you've got the ability to do it in front of an audience....Perhaps we could do a thread. Believe me, putting one resistor in wrong doesn't come close to an early repair job of mine, where I replaced 4 very expensive power transistors in a hifi amp ..... the wrong way round, because I'd taken them all out when I tested them. I lost 2 weeks pocket money in 10 seconds. That was an early lesson to keep notes, and that NPN is collector Positive, PNP is collector NegativeYou're doing fine - just keep on going.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Listen to TheProf, cause he really is always right :DOne definition of an expert is "a person who has made all the possible mistakes in a narrow field". Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
