4 encoders 12 buttons -- looking for help

Design Concepts
1

  ..hi everybody this is my first midibox first topic but i guess you ll see me around quite often now that i started my little project–

  here we go i have 1 core and 1 dinx4

  i also have 4 encoders (no detented from voti.nl) and 12 buttons

i need all buttons and ancoders to send midi cc out nothing more (for the moment)

i have everything assembled but NOW?

    QUESTIONS…:

1 can i have encoders and buttons on the same DINX4 ?

2 should i load Midi64E Midio16e or what??

3 how do i program then the software?? (i think i need some step by step procedure)

5 thanks for reading and good work everybody

  —is there anybody with a similar project??

1 can i have encoders and buttons on the same DINX4 ?

… yes

2 should i load Midi64E Midio16e or what??

… I would suggest MIDIBox64E

3 how do i program then the software?? (i think i need some step by step procedure)

… there are plenty of tutorials and search the forum database

txxxx roger a few words but quite useful!!!

if anyonne has some good advice or an E-slapontheback for me please feel free to write here or to contact me

  ..errata i noticed i missed point number 4 so i will do it now..

 

4 how many chances do i have to have it working without an lcd to debug??

4a any development about usb interfacing??

4b can a core and a dinx4 run just with a 9 volts battery?

Depends on how clever and experienced you are :wink: If you’re a beginner, a LCD will be veeery useful!

4a any development about usb interfacing??

mhhh… have you ever looked for “USB” on this site http://www.ucapps.de ???

4b can a core and a dinx4 run just with a 9 volts battery?

Yes, but only for about one or two hours or so (never tried it)

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i got it woking in  a few hours (actually only one fader but i am satisfied for the moment)

yes i got midi cc change from an encoder !!!

  thankssoooo much to the developers i got their powerful yet so easy tools —MIOS Studio expecially

thanks to TM cause he s a f00000g genius  thanks to the forum peeps and to mike for the components

can t believe iti got it working so quickly

  now i am tired and go to sleep tomorow i ll have to try to program all the encoders and the buttons

  …RAPHAELl thanks even irony s appreciated :slight_smile: of course i tried to have a look at the USB project for the midiBox but it seems like it s not reliable isn it? there is a guy who has another project midi/usb but 20 bucks for a pcb and 20 for a programmed pic is as expensive as an interface on ebay …

good luck to everybody

There are two USB interfaces:

http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_usb.html is very reliable. I’ve built already two of them.

The development of the easier to build USB-PIC interface (http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_usb_pic.html) is constrained by a buggy PIC.

So there is a working solution, but you will have to solder a multi-pin SMD chip.
