GM5 as CORE?

Hi everyone,

just wanted to know if the GM5 module is intented as a replacement for the CORE module?

that is, can I connect the AINX and DIN modules for a Midibox64 project directly to the GM5?

Thanks!

Okay, thanks! I find it quite confusing - so for building a Midibox64, I’d need AIN’s and DIN’s connected to a CORE module, and the core connected to the GM5 to use USB again?

Yes, that’s right!

Good! Thanks! Any recommendations for a good core?

I don’t quite get the question, since there’s only two core modules and both are good…

For features (and differences) see here: PIC 18F4685 or PIC 18F4620. Plus there’s the older [=452]PIC 18F452](home:mbhp:module:core [MIDIbox]) with basically less RAM but still good (and recommended) for MIDIbox64.
