Hi all, sorry for the off topic. Brice, my emails to you at sales@synthmodules.com, and support@synthmodules.com keep getting bounced back. Here's the message I have been trying to send you: "Hi Brice, It's Gregg in Japan. I hope you are well. Don't worry, I am not here to ask "w

Perhaps we might find it useful to build a document for the group (posted) that would list "reserved variables" for lack of a better term. This would include the variable name, it's function and the routine(s) to which it is passed and used. Scott E. -----------------------------

Andrew, As far as the "cool LED patterns" winner... the Wiard Joystick Axis Generator is THE best. No question. Especially when driven by a Noise ring into a PSIM-1 and using the PSIM-1 to control the X and Y axis on the JAG. It's better than a color organ! Even if you never hook

Actually, I think the winner of the cool light show contest has to be the Wiard JAG. Various neat colors (the Bagwa (sp?)) and, with the PSIM-1 running the quadrature osc program you can make it spin around and around (if you have two JAGS you can daisy chain them, crossing the x

I've rewritten the code to shorten the number of samples to 4. I've also interleaved the sampling so that IN-1 is sampled every 2 mS, IN-2 is sampled every 4 mS, and IN-3 and 4 are sampled every 8 mS. This allows me to sample one input every 1 mS timer interrupt. The current code

Is this for doing clock divisions? Seems like it would work very well for that. With an internal clock, it's simple to do arpeggiations for example, but trying to sync that to an external clock means you have to know what the BPM is a priori. A running average is the way to go. I

I've got some interesting test code running. It samples and averages the ADC inputs during the timer interrupt. I scan each input every 32 mS. Each input is scanned in an interleaved fashion. Since the timer interrupts at 1 mS intervals, every 8th interrupt I sample a different i
