All I found was joystik implementations based on pots … the tac II and others are simple devices with 5 or 6 channels that gon on/off if im not mistaken…?
Oh, Allright so if I’d want to make an old digital joystick like the Tac II (2 cool!) into a MIDI controller, All I need is basically a core module and a DINx? I realize that you don’t have many key combinations on a joystick like that, but It should be programmable right?
my Idea is this…
Tac II—>[programmable converter]—>midi
..so that I can control every midicontrollable thing I feel like!
… maybe there’s an easier way of going about it? A stripped down coremodule that only handles what I want? Does anybody know where I can get Info on PICs and Programming hints?
Jonas, whact could be easier than just connecting the buttons to DIN? Code customisation is not what you need. Belive me.
You should really start reading everything you can find about MBHP. There are alot of hints about programming in C and asembler. Also, lots of coments you can find in MIOS and aplication files itself.
I don`t think you need to strip down anything, just do some reading, make the core module and one DINx1 and you will have minimal configuration to experiment and get idea what do you really want.
Thanks so much for your replies to my silly questions! I’ve been checking out some other Pic/basic stamp circuits but it seems like the MBHBcore and DINx are the way to go…
