Hi all!
I’ve built a modified core to use only with din and dout for switching on an amplifier.
I didn’t use connectors for the LCD so I didn’t use the trimpots, transistor and resistors for the LCD.
I will not use pots, so I grounded all 8 of the pot pins.
connections are:
pin 1 via R1 to +5
pin 2-5 gnd
pin 6 via R2 to +5v.
pin 7-10 gnd
pin 11 +5
pin 12 gnd
pin 13-14 oscilation circuit
pin 15-17 Not Connected
pin 18 via 10K resistor to +5
pin 19 to DOUT
pin 20 to DIN and via 10K to +5
–
pin 21-22 to din - dout
pin 23-24 Not Connected
pin 25 via 220R to midi out
pin 26 via 1k2 to +5 and to pin 6 of the optocoupler
pin 27-30 Not Connected
pin 31 Gnd
pin 32 +5
pin 33-40 Not Connected
These are the PIC’s connections, I’ll post a pic as soon as the midibox.org is up again.
My problem is that on a pic with midibox64v2 app loaded, when I press a button on the DIN, I receive infinite random midi data. I also recieve some midi (allways the same) when I unplug the power from the core.
It also seems that the core cannot recieve midi data correctly.
Any Ideas?
I will post pics.
Thanks,

Hi,
this is where lcd’s come in handy ;) But this is not possible, so here goes;
First i should check if all resistors on the din board are properly soldered/connected; on the din-page it says;
Your MIDIbox will send a lot of random MIDI traffic without these pull-ups, so don’t miss them!
Check if you got all the required pull-up/down resistors on your modified core module.
Then if there still is a problem; follow the steps in the “midi-debugging thread”.
Hope i haven’t been bothering you with things you knew allready, anyways good luck!

Thanks for the reply, thus it will not do…
The DIN works fine on my other midibox…
The resistors on the core are the ones I mentioned.
The core’s midi out is probably working because the bootsrtap loader sends it’s sysex!
But then it seems I cannot upload mios!
I allready regret that I didn’t use the LCD pins and circuitry!
…and finally , like 98% of all cases it will be some bad soldering!
Problem solved! The PIC died somehow! I changed to a new pic , burnt the bootstrap, loaded mios, loaded app and all OK!
Now I erased the old PIC but cannot program it again!!!
The JDM works fine, I burnt 3 bootstrap loaders today!
