Introduction

MIDIbox - http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/

Fixed critcal analogue input bug
Fixed startup display giberish
Added better relay support (hard code only - pbx_relay_config.h)

Virtual polarity (on when off, off when on option)
Relays can be named
When relays switch - can display something meaningful (like Input 1, Input 2 instead of
just on, off)

Probably some other stuff - I just can't remember :)

2.5beta2
Pedal Box Programming now enabled… oops
Bug with LCD returning to show wrong current program after AIN fixed
LCD will suspend for a short period after sending a program change

2.5beta1
Available only for PIC18F4620
Re-structure of midi event and device event map handling
Added midi event type options for DIN/AIN and Rig Control
supports all standard midi commands without requiring them in the device event map
Device event map now for CC's and Program changes only, and must be listed in the
appropriate slot.
Improved MIDI In performance 100 fold
Re-structure of LED handling
Improved LED performance dramatically
Lot's of bug fixes, general usage much more stable.

2.0 (beta4)
Updated to new progarmming platform
Separate download for different PIC types
Added option to enable midi input for Pedal Board at the expense of LED Digits
Added bankstick magic numbers
Changed bankstick data format to accomadate magic numbers
Device Table Skeleton had incorrect bankstick address for value maps 9 and 10 - Fixed.
Rig Control Setup now loops back to the first message when after the last message during setup
mode
Bankstick is correctly shown when programming during rig control setup
Bank now displays on the 4 characters of 2×20 LCD Display if not using LED digits
Revamped multiple device usage.
First bankstick is now for internal usage. all button / Pedal info, patches and song lists
Limit of devices is now 7 (not 8)
Bankstick usage has also been modified (v1 device files will not work without modification)
Added Rig Control, up to 32 events can be triggered at once across any loaded device
Added Gig Control. Song lists that change the patches in a given order with cue next / previous
buttons
Added support for relays to be used for switching amp channels, etc.
Re-did a lot of code, trying to get code size down
