uploading the midibox software

You could write your own operating system and application for the cores from scratch (or modify existing ones provided on midibox site) - the PIC18F is well supported and you can write in both assembly and even C for those apt enough for all that jazz. I decided I would lean on the hard work done by TK and the MIDIBox community and upload MIOS (the operating system) and MB64E application. Both these are mature and have been hand optimized over a long time by very apt and passionate individuals, so a lot of hard work is done for you there (thanks TK!). Basically I followed these steps on the MB WIKI...and it all worked fine the first time for both cores, very impressed!

    There's usually 2 pins for +5v & GND but not all models have backlight - look for a datasheet for your model by putting any reference numbers on it into Google and you will find which pins are for the backlight. Mine was purchased through the midibox guys so I just followed the guide here;

    Hope this helps!
