SOLVED [MB64 - what should I see on LCD after boot?]

MIDIbox HUIs

Hi all,

thanks to your help I have now working CORE with LCD, a DIN with 4 buttons on vectorboard connected to it, one AIN (without connected pots yet). I burned a PIC, uploaded MIOS and MB64 app, but cannot get the menu!

From start - what I see on LDC:

  1. MIOS V 1.9c © T. Klose (in two rows)

  2. AIN   DIN   DOUT (I know that AIN flickers because of unmuxed pot inputs)

    64:42  1o     2o

  1. When I push the buttons:

    AIN   DIN   DOUT

    64:42  3*     2o - it changes of course when I push

   another button (only second column).

But - why I just can’t see the screens from Tutorial page?

I can connect these 4 buttons to another grup of pins on DIN (first 1-4, second 5-8 etc), but tested all of them (1-32) and never saw the nav menu. Why?

And - how to disable pots for the time before I connect them physically, because now it’s almost not possible to use the buttons (messages from AIN just scroll thru the screen of MidiOX).

Hi,

Which application did you load?

And - how to disable pots for the time before I connect them physically, because now it’s almost not possible to use the buttons (messages from AIN just scroll thru the screen of MidiOX).

You can ground J5 of the CORE (Pins: A0 - A7) after disconnecting any AIN Module.

Which application did you load?

ain64_din128_dout128_v1_3.zip - described as “MIOS configured for 64 pots, 128 buttons, 128 LEDs” from this page.

Definitely helped. Now got stable signal. I connected two pots and one joystick (so got 4 pots now) and all of them are working fine.

Some photos describing my problem from previous post (I still got it):

Booting - everything seems OK

App started - where are menu?

Putton #3 pushed - still no menu,

the same when I push any other buttons.

It seems like some kind of debugger, not an app for me - but i may be wrong.

Got no idea what’s happening. Can somebody help?

Below is monitoring buttons report from MIDI OX:

So what is this - a KEYBOARD?

Little off topic - special edition of “bomb in cable factory” - my PIC Burner!

I know it can sounds strange’ date=’ but it works perfectly.

OK. This is a test application.

Everything is fine so far. This app is for debugging.

But - why I just can’t see the screens from Tutorial page?

You’ll have to load another app instead of the test application. If you want a midibox64

you’ll have to upload (via Midi) the following app:

http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox64_v2_4.zip

Then you’ll get the desired screens.

Don’t forget to ground unused AIN-ports or you still will get wild messages.

THANKS DOC. Everything works perfect!

Now it’s time to plan the case and front/top panels, placing buttons and pots and other stuff. I want to use encoder instead left/right buttons. I thought about placing touchpad on top panel, but not for MIDI, but as pointing device for connected PC, so I ordered 2 from damaged laptops (price was very low - about 4 EU each) - if I get them to work, I will share photos and specs with you.

Once again: Thanks all!
