MB64E (encoder problem)

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

I have problem with my last midibox project. I uploaded MB64E aplication on MIOS v1.9.  Instead of normal increase/decrease behaviour when moving encoder i get button behaviour (0/127 values). Where did I go wrong? I didn`t configured anything, just uploaded MB64E.syx files. I tried to switch encoder pins several times but same thing happends. I am almost sure all connections are good. I also tried different encoders, and different DIN pins without success.

Here is snapshot moving encoder left and right:

I’ve got a similar issue in a previous post (a few down from this one as of this writing).  The only difference is that I tried modifying the include table and i tried mbox64, 64e and LC.. all with the same results .. anyone shed light on this?

You need to adapt the pin assignments for rotary encoders to your hardware -> mios_tables.inc

If this ansver is for me please confirm.

For MB64E with 2 detended encoders for NI Traktor jogs on SR#1, pins 4&5, 6&7 I have to:

  1. modify MIOS source code file “mios_tables.inc” like this

…

;; encoder entry structure

ENC_ENTRY MACRO sr, din_0, mode

dw (mode << 8) | (din_0 + 8*(sr-1))

ENDM

ENC_EOT MACRO

dw 0xffff

ENDM

MIOS_ENC_PIN_TABLE

;; entry 0x00-0x0f

ENC_ENTRY  1,  4,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  1,  6,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

  1. compile and upload MIOS

  2. upload MB64E aplication file “setup_midibox64.syx”

Am I right?

yes it’s here that you have to assign your encodeurs…

Thx. Moxi. I`ll try it this way.

MIOS should already be on the chip. You should make the modifications to the MB64e Application source, and recompile that. I think you have the right idea but just used the wrong word :slight_smile:

I done it, now it works. I dont know have i ever read about it and where. I read lots of times same documents but seams i often missing some information in the time i need it. Most dificult thing for me about MIOS projects is navigatin trough documents  :slight_smile:

hello !

I have problem with my 8 encoders.

This part of my controler is based on MB64e.

Im my “mios_tables.inc” code i have :

…

;; encoder entry structure

ENC_ENTRY MACRO sr, din_0, mode

dw (mode << 8) | (din_0 + 8*(sr-1))

ENDM

ENC_EOT MACRO

dw 0xffff

ENDM

MIOS_ENC_PIN_TABLE

;; encoders 1-16

;;        SR  Pin  Mode

ENC_ENTRY  1,  0,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  1,  2,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  1,  4,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  1,  6,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  2,  0,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  2,  2,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  2,  4,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

ENC_ENTRY  2,  6,  MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED

And after that i’m saving it in notepad, opening main.asm in MPLAB IDE , Building the main file into main.hex and… uploading it to my core using Mios Studio… and still my 8 encoders are working from 1 to 127  = / I would like to have function inc/dec! I tried to change it in 10 pr 20 diferent ways and i dont know what to do…and where is something wrong?

All seems to be functioning correctly there mate. You might like to start a new thread for this new problem, if there is one :slight_smile:

ok, I just have to ask this again:

what use does this “midibox64e.ini” file have? If one has to define the MIDI codes inside mios_tables.inc, it seems redundant to me to also do this in the ini-file. which file “wins”?

thanks,

karl.

Well they have different functions.

The .inc file, defines the way that your components are electrically connected, IE there is an encoder connected to pin X. No midi is involved at this point.

The .ini file, defines which midi messages should be sent by that hardware.

So they both work together, rather than one of them “winning” :slight_smile:
