Hello,
I’m wondering what program TK uses for drawing
the interconnection diagrams for the midibox projects?
I want to document my c drumseq project
and if possible I want the led/button wiring diagrams
to be consistent with the official MB projects..
Thank you,
Michaël
ahh- forgot to add this one ;D
I want to document my c drumseq project
That’s really great!
Thanks v much!
Yeh you’ve got my attention! 
Tell us more!
I think it’s Eagle from http://www.cadsoft.de, I’m not sure though…
Hello, I know the schematics and pcbs are done in eagle,
but I want to draw something like this:
http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_seq/mbseq_din_v2.pdf
about my project, I’m building a simple drum sequencer
based on the clockbox example
specs:
-8 drumtracks with 32 steps
-each step has note on/off, accent on/off,(roll on/off)
-16 patterns (nr of patterns will be increased)
-patterns are stored on a bankstick
-loading/saving of patterns is possible when seq is running
user interface:
-20x2 lcd
-5 softbuttons + menu/ok button + encoder
-16 step buttons/leds
-8 dedicated buttons with play/pause, stop, menu shortcuts
status:
-seq is running with 16 steps with user interface
-currently there’s only one loop length, note division for all tracks
-I’m able to run the seq with 32 steps but due to performance
issues the running led when seq is playing has to be disabled 
there’s still a lot of work to do, I’ve written all the code in C to test the concept
without losing much time in code optimalisation
next week when my exams are done I will have more time to work on the code,
maybe some of you could help me with some C/ASM optimalisation
this is only my second C project so I expect there’s a lot of room for improvement ;D
here’s a picture of my testsetup:
:o Great stuff
Heheheh I think it’s funny, while I was waiting for bill, and bill was breaking his arm, you’ve got it done ;D
A promising project!
I don’t use the schematic tool of eagle, because the results are looking ugly and not always understandable for electronic newbies.
Instead I’m using xcircuit (a derivative of xfig) - not because it’s the best, but because I’m familiar with this program since ca. 10 years and just love it
Best Regards, Thorsten.
Thank you Thorsten,
I’ve just installed the precompiled windows version of Xcircuit,
could you please give me the xcircuit files of a din/dout connection diagrams
like the ones of MB_SEQ?

I’ve uploaded the files to this location: http://www.ucapps.de/tmp/mbseqxc.zip
Best Regards, Thorsten.,
Looks like you’ve made some excellent progress!
If you need anyone to make up some PCB layouts or whatever then give me a shout.
I like Geda. See http://geda.seul.org/. It’s freeware, open source, and very capable.

Thanks Thorsten,
I will post the diagrams together with my code when everything is finished…
don’t expect too much from it , I just want to make a basic drumseq for my micromodular

Thanks Jaicen, I’m using a core module, a Dinx4 module and 3/4 of a Doutx4 module
so it’s all standard pcbs…
I could use some good suggestions on the user interface and stuff like that,
will post more on that after my exams…

I sure will try this program, I’m using eagle for drawing pcbs at school
and I don’t like it that much
for this project I will use Xcircuit so that the diagrams have the same look as the MB ones
