Hi All.
I’m new to uCApps and after reading through the many pages I am going to start on building a MIDIbox64, one module at a time.
There is a lot of info on the site with different projects, chips, etc and I just wanted to check with everyone, to make sure that I have the steps 'round the right way. My initial plans are:
I am going to start by building the JDM. Once built, I buy the chip (PIC18F452) and burn in the MIOS bootstrap loader using IC-PROG via serial cable. Once the other modules are built, i then upload the OS/apps via midi using MIDI-OX.
I just want to check that this is the right way 'round to start - any info would be aprreciated.
Cheers.
Meeshka,
euhm yes, that’s about it. but i suggest you
make a list of thing that you want to build
and the parts you require (jdm,core,din,dout)
and then order them.
if you built the jdm and then order the pic you
will be eating your heart out staring at the
circuit !!! ;)
much cheaper too unless you live near an
electronic warehouse.

Thanks Voltrigger,
I am still quite new to electronics/PICs/MIDI so I am happy to just build it one module at a time and learn as I go along. I work in the city, very close to two electronic stores so its not really a problem.
I will take your advice on the PIC tho, I just wanted to check that the 18F452 is the recommended one to be using now.
Thanks for the reply,
meeshka
