the Motorfader NG module was designed with following rules :

• High-quality faders (Alps K faders with “coreless” motors) Handling
• Deliver stable enough ADC conversion results due to the reduced 3.3V voltage range
• Handle touch sensors properly without heavy CPU load (without an additional external device or microcontroller)
• PIC based projects Compatible for best usability
• DIY friendly and not requiring additional gear for something which isn't part of the MBHP yet
• Easy Testing and troubleshooting

• Dedicated PIC controller controls the motorfaders directly.
• Firmware can be updated via MIDI!
• Motorfaders are accessed via MIDI - this allows standalone usage, cascading (to chain multiple modules), and the re-use of existing infrastructure such as MIOS, MIOS Studio and MIOS Bootloader
• Can either be connected to a PC directly, or controlled from a second PIC or STM32 or LPC17
• native support of various protocols (e.g. PitchBender, CCs, even Logic Control and Mackie Control Emulation)
• support for 8 touch sensors
• instead of TC4427 I'm using L293D now - not at least because of the integrated diodes.
• due to the direct motor control connections, the PIC is now able to generate PWM with 50 uS steps for improved motor speed control while a motor is moved
• Dedicated Firmware for this task, Enough memory free to integrate advanced features, such as runtime-calibration and motor position tracing
