I have gone over this many, many times. All my wiring is correct, this I am sure of. I cannot get rid of the constant stream of on/off when I touch a fader. It recognizes the correct fader, stops the stream when I release. The faders seem to work fine if I disable the touch sensors. I just don't like how loud or choppy they are. I don't fully understand the settings in the mios tool. I cant seem to find a setting that would be acceptable. They are all just different versions of ok at best. What do you guys set your calibration settings to?

Just got your email form this afternoon and responded. Perfect timing! Thanks Tim

I am using a laptop for currently. I am using battery power. I will connect all the remaining J2 AIN pins to ground. I guess Im not sure how to tell if a resistor network is put in the right way. Not sure. Just to be totally clear, I have been inspecting the messages and the note on and note off "note letter" changes. I get a repeating pattern of this: Chn# 1 Note On G#7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On A7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On A#7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On B7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note Off G#7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off A7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off A#7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off B7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note On G#7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On A7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On A#7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On B7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note Off G#7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off A7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off A#7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off B7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note On G#7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On A7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On A#7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note On B7 Vel:127 Chn# 1 Note Off G#7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off A7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off A#7 (optimized) Chn# 1 Note Off B7 (optimized) And so on. It does get a little random here and there but mostly this pattern. Does this tell you anything?

Could the fact that I only have 4 faders be the problem?

If I turn off the touch sensors, all is good.

I checked the wiring for J14 and it is right. I still just get an endless on/off stream when touched no matter what sensitivity settings I use. This can't be right. Any other ideas?

I have adjusted the touchsensor settings to both extremes and back again with no change in behavior. I have tried using "like previous, but additionally motors will be suspended", but this still left the motors fighting the movement. Whats odd is that you state finger on -> Note on event. What i get is note on, note off, note on, note off, etc. repeating until I take my finger off. Like it just twitches between the two very fast and constant. This might explain why the motors fight, then give, then fight, then give, like turning on and off in my DAW. What would be causing this?

I see. When I try to move the faders in my DAW with mackie control emulation currently, I feel the motors turning on and off, fighting the movement. So if I change the value of the sensitivity, it will possibly stop sending note on and note off while I am touching the fader and just send note on until I take my finger off which will then send note off, correct?

I'm just now getting around to connecting the touch sensor part. I don't understand where the two gnd pins of J14 connect. I see where to connect the other eight pins, to the touch sensor on the fader, but where do these two pins go? Without the two gnd pins connected and I touch the fader, I see- [11178.756] 90 6f 7f Chn# 1 Note On D#7 Vel:127 [11178.766] 90 6f 00 Chn# 1 Note Off D#7 (optimized) over and over very fast. Is this expected?

Thanks! All are wired and working now. You have been a big help :) Thanks!

So I'm ready to wire up the remaining faders now, and I am confused. There is only one gnd pin and one 5v pin from jumper J2. How do you wire this? Do you just connect each faders 5v and gnd to each other?

finally figured out my problem. the ribbon cable was bad so I wasnt getting a connection to the wiper, or ground. All is working as expected now.

I have tried every combination of wires and it seems that the only wires that have any effect are the two motor wires. I get the same response with or without the wiper, 0%, 100% even connected to 5v, grnd, A0. the fader just jiggles violently for a second and gives up or then slaps to the opposite side. I have Alps 100mm touch sensitive 10kb faders. I really thought getting this working would be a piece of cake.

I am trying to get an idea how this tool works, how to calibrate a fader, etc. Right now, the only buttons really doing anything are the upper and lower and the slow sine (this just slaps from top to bottom a couple times and stops). I did as you suggested and any movement of the sliders make the fader slap the very top or very bottom. There is no middle. And I am getting intermittent response. It does not respond have the time I press a button or move a slider. Really confused how this is supposed to work.

Hi, I have been putting together a fader module slowly and I am having some difficulty. Currently I have one fader connected and I am trying to understand what to expect from the fader using the tool inside mios studio. My fader only snaps to the top and to the bottom. Any idea what I am missing or doing wrong? on the global setting inside the MF_NG tool I selected 1 fader. I am assuming I have it wired wrong, as I can get the same behavior with only just the two motor pins connected. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
