can a small midibox application be built using the 16f874 and MBHP. I would like to use the midibox 64 firmware, I will use 16 pots and 10 buttons. I would just like to reuse the 16f from my midibox plus. And i feel that it would be a waste to use a 18f for this small of an application. Can anyone help with this question?
yes,
there was an early firmware release for midibox 64, that was very basic. It lacks a lot of useful features (no bankstick, no snap mode (like soft takeover) and I think later versions had better jitter rejection. This release also used an older circuit, and the documentation was different. (not on the website anymore… look in the archive.)
I really don’t see any reason to go for this, as what extra feature does this have over your mb16+?
Thank,
i was just interested in reusing the PIC, I need to expand my 16, to do a full on Native Instruments B4 control. Guess I have to buy new PICs.
You don’t have to buy them!!!
You can get free samples of PIC18F452 at Microchip , along with the ic that’s needed for the bankstick!!
Go check it out! I recieved my order in about 6-7 days!!
