GRrrreat :slight_smile: Thanks a lot man!!

Will give this a shot first thing in the morning.

Thanks TK !

Just Upgraded :smiley:

It’s so much fun to gamble with the random generator!

Question: Which hex file do I use if I am using the full control surface? I know it’s not the SammichFM one… so that leaves V1 and TK…

I’m asking because my newly wired up control surface isn’t quite working, so I thought I would make sure I have the correct firmware loaded.

Cheers,

hi grizz,

for the default setup try setup_pic18f4685_mbfm_v1.hex (or setup_pic18f452_mbfm_v1.hex).

Thanks Thorsten !

It’s great!

But I have a big problem with my 4 x OP + 4 x INS buttons ( totaly 8 buttons ).

In the latest v1.3 the simply update for the v1.1 is not working here with a simple copy/paste function. I received the error messages for undefined operands.

Is it possible to find the solution for 8 (OP + INS ) buttons ?

Best Regards,

Janis

It seems that you are using a PIC18F452 - there isn’t enough flash memory anymore to add these functions.

Accordingly you’ve only two possibilities: either use an older MBFM version, or migrate to the PIC18F4685 (which has more advantages anyhow, not at least because of the inbuilt random patch generator!)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Thank you Thorsten very much !

Yes . You are right !

I shall replace my MBFM core chip to the PIC18F4685 in the nearest days .

Best Regards, Janis.

I’m gonna swap Pics today. I won’t lose any of my patches on the banksticks right?

Yes, the patches are compatible, EEPROMs won’t be reformatted :slight_smile:

Best Regards, Thorsten.
