next steps: id header changing and mios upload

RowanHall · September 17, 2005, 4:00am

hey midibox peeps!

i ordered the remaining three pairs of modules and ins and outs from smash last week, and have them built and wired, but no ics stuffed!

tomorrow the testing will begin and hopefully get the new modules connected to the current ones and everything uploaded and running!

i have a couple questions though.

is the application in the downloads section for changing ids straightforward to use? need to set up 0x01, 0x02 and 0x03. how can i check if the change was successful?

when i upload the mios and sid to the master, do i have to remove the other pics? how do i select the other slaves so that i can upload the relevant files? sorry about all these newbie questions, its been a while since i did any mios uploading!

in the info on sid v1.7a it talks about this new lfo waveform? does this require a light on the control surface?

thanks again

got it sorted!

changed the ids and installed the slave software on the three slave chips with the current one sid setup. just had to remind myself how to recompile the perl files, found it in the comments in the code!

if i connect the boards with the ics unplugged, following the optomised psu schematic, can i test the sockets using the same steps as shown on the sid and core pages?

and can i harm the master core/sid boards if something isn’t right on the other slave boards?

Yes, you can.

and can i harm the master core/sid boards if something isn’t right on the other slave boards?

No, if the voltage levels coming from the power supply are ok.

thanks for the info raphael! was going to go ahead with it, but thought i’d check, its always nice to have a piece of mind!

i currently have three of the 4 required sid chips, i take it its alright to have everything wired for the 4 sid setup and just have the 4th sid removed?

sorry for all these probably obvious questions!

cheers,

Rowan

Yes, that’s Ok.

i was just trying to find out wether the slaves were working, as i have not got any audio outs or sid and link buttons wired yet.

i assume you can tell from the startup messages from the modules that everything is alright, but i don’t know how to comprehend them!

heres what midiox tells me when i switch on the midibox:
