Newbie help midi from daw to multi LCD

Hi Fredric

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)

Did you look in to the ucapps.de site? Seams to me that thats not compatible to the standards set by midibox. You will have to get a special sd card adapter and make a adapter to get a J8/9 as well.

This will not work! Why don’t you just use the recommended STM32F4DISCOVERY board. Its available for only €15,00. Have you read this: http://www.ucapps.de/index.html?page=mbhp_core_stm32f4.html ?

OKey my bad, in an earlier post i just saw the STM32F407. dident know that it was diffrent,

The main reason was that it had the expansion-board. Less soldering for me.

But i could use the board for my home automation projects, and try to get it to work with my Control4-system.

And the shipping for the oleds is a few weeks so i will have time to order a proper f4discovery.

Is there a premade breakout board or do i have to make my own?

i found a sd-card adapter to the kit i bout for only 2dollars. The J8/9 is a different story. 

Just read the ucapps site.

There you also find the link to the midibox-shop.com that sells a breakout board…

i downloaded the schematics and it seems to be possible to make my own j8/9 from the STM32F407. The thing is that the STM32F4Discoery have a built in bootloader, my F407dossent, so i buy a new STM32F4Discovery. Theres a shop here in stockholm selling the one ucapps recomend for only 13euro.

But when do i need the SD-card? MidiBox is loaded to the flash in the STM32 right?

And if not i think i will wait until after the summer due to family and work. I dont have the time to spend hours soldering and burning my fingertips getting pissed of :slight_smile:

Then i maybe will try to search for somebody that i willing to sell me  a premade midibox NG unit or build one for me that i can lab with.

Hi

Yes right you can make your own J8/9.

The SD card is used for the App. So you will have to load the Bootloader through the miniUSB connector. Then you will have to Download MIOS Studio to your PC/MAC and upload the MIOS system trough the microUSB to the controller. The Apps store the Controlling script on the SD card to save the space inside the chip…

After that you need to Upload the App you whant to play with. Its like a PC where first is the bios then the OS like Windows or Linux and to do anything you will likely start a Program like an Texteditor that saves the file to a SD card… (Maybe)

There is a walktrough tutorial on the ucapps site. Just click on the STM32 Core link.

Best regards

thanks.
