Time for a dedicated FV-1 development subforum?

[culturejam]

Seems like the next logical step for the DIY community is to get serious about digging in to the Spin FV-1 DSP. They are relatively cheap, capable of a whole hell of a lot, and there's no reason why we couldn't develop our own tools to make implementing it easier.

Brian and I already have the Spin development board. I assume at least a few other people do as well. So we've got some momentum. And Brian has already done a few versions of a generic PCB that can used as starting point for future projects.

The real limiting factor for me is time. I don't have enough of it to do all the heavy lifting myself (or else you guys would already be seeing projects). But I can certainly help out with code testing and tweaking.

I think all-in-one DSP systems like the FV-1 is the next frontier for DIY. And I don't see why it shouldn't be the Madbean community that drives it forward.

Whataya say, fellas? And Brian? Once more unto the breach, dear friends!

I say, hell yes. The Fv1 is a great starting point for DIY effects.

oh yeah! I'm gonna start saving for a dev board...

I think a digital sub-forum is fine, with FV-1 being part of that. There may be some micro-controller stuff people want to share, too. It's something I will get into eventually once I dial start dialing down some of the analog project development. I'll add it to the forum soon.

Yeah, I have a dev board too but no time.  I hope to do play with it sometime this year.

THIS would be awesome!

Okay, so we've got at least three dev boards. I assume TGP39 has one as well, as he mentioned in the Disaster Area thread that he had started coding for the FV-1.

[madbean]

I actually don't have a dev board.

[culturejam]

Hmm, I could have sworn you and I bought one at the same time. Must have been Dave.

I think Steve (Raulduke) ordered another one earlier this year.

This has been on my desk for a week.



I picked up the FV-1 board from Jeremy (the3secondrule) in February and populated it this month. It came with the shimmer verb program loaded but I have since programmed it with a few other delay based effects. I used my Pickit2 clone to program it.

I am learning SpinCAD at the moment and I hope to make a couple interesting presets in the near future. I can definitely see more fun to be had with the FV-1 chip and can not wait to see what we all come  up with.

Alright, so Cody is our expert! 

[Govmnt_Lacky]

I have a PicKit2 programmer AND... an adapter board that will allow me to program DIP-sizes and SMD chips.

Unfortunately, I do not have the primary requirement. Programming knowledge 

[nzCdog]

Oh yeah!

Alright, so Cody is our expert! 

Shoot, I wish. I just dove in head first. Its going to be a learning process for sure... but a fun one.
