thanks for the replys !
I'll try to give better information.
The desk is a stagetec cantus, this desk came out in 1994.
I suppose the faders are custom, I opened one up...
There is no resistive element inside. So I doubt it's useful for the NG project.
I took some DC measurements :
1-2 = 2,5R
3-4 = 1K2
5-6 = 800k
3-5 , 3-6 , 4-5 , 4-6 when I touch my dmm it starts from +-420k and goes slowly down when I leave my probes on the contacts.

Hello,
I received some fader modules from a scrapped digital mixing desk and I was wondering if it could be made into something useful, like a daw-remote.
That's how I ended up here and started reading some threads.
But the faders that I see being used are different I think to what I have ..?
They're Penny and Giles PGF3200/-/M/-/AX with a motor Faulhaber 2224U006SR
The only contacts are coming out of the motor, six wires, five black and one red.
I don't see how the desk gets any feedback from where the faders are?
Are these any use for an midibox NG ?
Thanks

OWKaaay, very nice find, that datasheet.
Things are getting a little clearer in my head, but just a little afraid.
So, do I understand this right :
- there is no feedback from this motor.
- The calibration routine sets the fader to zero, or to a known point.
- And from then on, the amount of pulses sent (for recall) or received (moving the fader) determines the position ?
sorry newbie alert, what's a DIN ?
edit: I think I found my answer http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=encoders
Din is a digital input pin, right?
I need to see this as a motorised rotary encoder ?
that will be very quickly beyond my abilities, I understand a little in analogue audio electronics, digital signals and programming is new to me.
So, I'm afraid this is not a suitable beginner project, :-(
