i’m trying to make a midi CV converter for a single Drum module of the known analog …
i wanna make a bassdrum (maybe i add a clap too) only and i need a litle help with the design and programming.
i wanna use pic18f1320.
i did some projects with a pic16f84A and made some light effects with it, like knightrider, ect, ect.
but this is something totaly different, this includes serial data.
what i would like to know is, is the port configution good?
i have check the datasheet of that particlair pic.
i think i’m good now.
this is the second try, because i found out the MCLR only acts as input.
i would like to know your opinion about this schematic.
would u do it different?
the problem is more or less the double functions the pins have.
should i leave the the XTAL out and use it as I/O pins?, so i don’t have the split on portB for driving the Latch (74hc174).
it only needs to trigger 1 drum sound.
thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
ND
p.s. i know it aint midibox related, because the device used in it is to big for my needs and i don’t need to drive a LCD, i just wanted fastes latency possible.
