There is no readily available solution for what you want to do, not even on the MIDIbox NG platform. You will need to do a lot of programming, for which it will be necessary to understand the hardware concept. Honestly, it’s a bad idea to start the project with purchasing some LCDs. I’d recommend you to read about the MIDIbox NG on ucapps.de and then estimate how far your own DIY skills will get you. If you feel it is manageable, then go ahead - if you feel it’s over your head then honestly I would start with some smaller MIDIbox project, i.e. one that you just follow instructions for and for which you don’t have to develop things yourself.

Thx.
I like the chalange, iv done alot of rasberry projects, but im a newbie at midibox.
I read a thread at anouther forum saying that somebody here made a 16channel LCD controll desk. with the behringer bcf2000. But i cant find the tread. Maybe i can studdy that one and go from there, then later on make my own mods.
One other cool project would be a 16ch analog VU-meter reciving midi out from cubase!?
Its problembly gonna take me some houres of trail n error. But its not for the sake of saving money, this is my hobby. so building stuff that can be used in the studio is only win win.
Now its just waiting for the ng-kit to come back in stock. Any body knowing when that might happen, i can only see one store online that sells the ng-kit.
Well the MB_NG is a Software you can find in the Download section of ucapps.de.
What you need to get that wonderfull software running is just the newest core. The STM32F407.
If you are interessted in the board i made to attach 8 OLEDs seamless have a look to vlrlab.com. The dokumentation to the VLR_8oDisp is in work and will be available soon.
To those displays from taobao you have to check. It seams to me that there is a missing Enable line. And the Driver is not the same (SSD1106 instead of SSD1306)

Many thx novski.
I will order the exact same as you did.
looking forward to this.
Have enyone made Analog UV (retro with needle) to work with a DAW?

Did you go with the 0.9"? iwas thinking of going with the 1.3" so that would make your mounting board not working for me. more soldering for me

Iv done some more reading, sorry for not being that up to date with the hardware and software, im i newbie but eger to learn.
I found the PCB breakoutboard for STM32F407, but it seems that it comes without parts and i cant find a diy-kit.
Do i need the breakoutboard for STM32F407 or can i connect the oleds according to your schematics directly to the STM32F407.
I dont mind it being ugly or messy, this first project is more of a beta test. if it works i will try to build one or several more to a friend and studiopartner. then i want it as clean an pro as possible.

Hello Fred
analog is analog… if you want to drive analog meter (Vu or PPM) you have to send your 2bus soundcard analog out to the meter (with at least buffer circuit)

Yes i could go from my soundcards output. But i was thinking of going from a LED-Vu meter, taking the upper leds having them send a smal puls, the lover leds sending a puls but with a resistor.
Something like that. Goind digital to analog via led-VU. The main thing is that i want it from MIDI-out to the VU
I still can’t follow your topix here. Do you have digital or analog VU meters?
quite the same for me
The only way I can imagine now is to use HUI meter data (CC? PB? note and velocity??), send them to AOUT, then to some buffer/calibration amp/ tension to current converter, and in some case depending of the galvanometer characteristic you have to add a time circuit to match Vu or PPM ballistic specification.
I think that you don’t have to care about the measurement type because your DAW will send the Midi-Meterdata acording to your settings in the DAW it self. So if you have a Analog Needle Meter (generally called VU-Meter) you only have to convert the Midi Value in to the Voltage needed by your Needle.
And if you like to have LEDs (digital Meter) you can just make a LED-Matrix. I have done that for me and created also supporting PCBs.
