problem on boot up

Testing/Troubleshooting

  hey i just got my original midibox out to play and it seems to have a problem on boot up

  its the pic 16F877 running midibox 64 v3

  it gets to about 10-12 in the boot up and just stops sometimes the lcd doesnt come on

  i hope someone has an idea as im out of touch with my midibox thing so any ideas would help

  lots of love and light  regards kris

The fact that it doesn’t always stop in the same place has me wondering if you have a power supply issue… I’d be checking that voltage, and solder joints, and the internal voltages too…

Good luck mate :slight_smile:

Hmmm.

What makes me wonder:

ts the pic 16F877 running midibox 64 v3

As far as I know, the latest version for the PIC 16F on the midibox64 was

midibox64_v101b.

What is wrong in this case? The PIC or the version  ???

  i just dont seem to get time at the moment

    im living out doors at the hill of tara the electronics im doing are wind turbines,solar panels and regulators

rather than musical equipment

  i should be back on board as i have a couple of midibox projects sat as components waiting for the time to finish them

 

lots of love and light  kris

Awesome! The only reason I work, is to pay for my music, and to save for my dream of owning a fully self-sufficient farmland. (With enough natural power and people to make music of course!)

Im building a chicken coop as we speak… I hoping to get chickens to control midi, and give eggs. Does that count?
