First, a bit of background on the project. It's an analog synth that will have a control surface similar to the one on the Moog Little Phatty. It will be a few encoders with a bunch of buttons to select the function each will perform. These are on the master core, with that core communicating with a slave core on each monophonic synth board. Each of these slave cores with forward the commands on to a series of digital pots and switch to control the synth. The issue I'm having right now is how the master core will send data to the slave cores. I'm trying to decide whether to use MIDI or IIC (or maybe mbNet?). The issue with MIDI is that the digipots are 8 or 10 bits each, so the 7 bit per packet restriction could cause some problems. I think IIC would be a good option, but I'm not really sure how receiving on the slaves would work.. Sending the data from the master core should be easy enough, with the built-in MIOS_IIC_ByteSend function, but I don't believe the built-in functions will work for receiving on the slaves. MBNet seems like it was designed for exactly this purpose, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist for MIOS8, and I'd rather not use a bunch of LPC1769 cores since they're overkill and quite a bit more expensive. Any thoughts, or should I just stick to trying to make MIDI work?
