Q: Status of Midi Merger?

Design Concepts
1

Hi,

I would like to build a simple midi-merger, but the information on the Midibox page is contradicting.

The midi-merger section shows a circuit having two optocouplers for the Midi-Ins and the old PIC16xxx, its supposed to be built from just a core module, right?

The core module only has one optocoupler, is there a circuit board somewhere that has the second?

Also, has somebody ported the Midi-merger to the new PIC18xxx core? I don’t find it on the web page.

Would perhaps someone in Germany be willing to flash the Midi Merger application into a PIC16xxx chip for me?

Greetings and thanks

Reiner

Hi,

Midimerger is 16F877 based - no 18F version (yet?). It can be build in core board (remember 20MHz xtal and 16F877) or using so called veroboard (there’s so much extra on Core versus midimerger). There’s no board layout for second midi input as it’s very simple to build in veroboard.
