c0nb0x

[danhillwwr]

It was to install the update MarOS 1.4.1 !! Impossible, it does not recognize the usb with V1 (I noted /dev/tty.usb That does not work. I watch your youtube video .

[danhillwwr]

I found , the V1 works "/ dev/tty.usbserial-0000203A " It is a pleasure to the pattern from the software ! Thank you for your support

i compiled c0nb0x on linux (thanks to AbortRetryFail for the linux serial port code)
the only downside is that i couldn't figure a good way to set arbitrary baud rate, so it only works with the standard rates which are defined somewhere in termios.h (it'll work with both stock cpu and cpu mod) and there's no serial port detection like there is on the win32 and osx versions, so you have to manually type the path

i discovered another bug, which doesn't show up on the win32 version.. when the app starts, it shows the fancy ascii logo but it should only show it for about 2 seconds then proceed to the main menu
in the linux version - it doesn't timeout, and the logo freezes there till you hit a key - that's the bug, it's clock() from time.h behaving differently on linux/osx
so i switched to using clock_gettime() and it works properly now
i'll probably change the win32 version to use queryperformancecounter() instead of clock() to avoid future trouble

so it smells like i'll have to do this as "v1.01" and so i'd like some feedback
feature requests.. if any

I'm having a a problem... I got the software to work one single time, I (think I- ) even managed to back up my patterns, but I just can't get it to work again.

I'm on OSX 10.8.3. I installed the com driver, and when I connect the x0xb0x it shows under system information. In terminal is see the port too (tty.usbserial-XXX).

So I put the xoxbox in computer control mode and turn it on. I then load c0nb0x. Two screens load, one empty and one with the computer control splash screen, but nothing happens. Also, I can not quit conbox, I need to force quit it to make it disappear.

What is weird that I had it working once... So what am I doing wrong? Any advice?

[Stern]

That's odd... It showed up just now, I guess I was just impatient... But How long does it take for the software to recognize the machine, must have been a more than one minute.

And another (less important?) question, why won't it quit? I need to 'force quit' the app to make it actually shut down.

[Stern]

Okay, this is too random... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I can't seem to figure out what makes it work and what doesn't.

If someone can shed a light on this I'd appreciate it...

the OSX version (v1.00) has a bug related to clock() (from time.h) which i discovered a few days ago
the logo screen is supposed to hide automatically after half a second but due to the bug - it gets stuck, you can press any key to continue

as for exiting, it's via the menu, the close button doesn't work
simply hit escape till it quits (that's explained in the readme document)

press any key after pressing quit.

no need to force quit;

Hi antto, just to say thanks a lot for your app!

Just used it to upload SokkOS 2 to my x0x and played around with the pattern editor, everything working fine here (OS X 10.8.3)

Cheers!

The link to the OSX version is no longer working. Can someone send me either a new link or a copy of the OSX version?

[antto]

i ran out of bandwidth on box.com, i released my "soft synth" which i've mentioned a number of times on these forums
it's at kvr it's a win32 VST and approximates the sound of my x0xb0x
it outputs .NSP and .NSM files which can be loaded with c0nb0x
that's why my files there are running very slowly now

Matrix12x: send me an email at <antto-at-mail-d0t-bg> and i'll mail you back the osx version of c0nb0x

[q-ba]

could you please upload again the c0nb0x 1.0 for windows? box.com doesnt work and cant find it anywhere else

thanks you!

[antto]

okay, i've setup a little server, the urls in the first post have been updated, you should be able to download now

Hello,

i`d like to build a x0xb0x and want to use Mac OS 10.7.5.

Does c0nbox V1.0 work with this OS-Version?

[antto]

i cannot answer because i don't have osx
but you can download it and try to run it, if it runs - it runs ;]
