I would take the tolerance into account, specially because you use flat heads.
With round heads you still could press the LEDs into the "too small" wholes, which could be difficult with flat heads.
2nd suggestin: As Wilba stated... measure what the tolerance effectively is, it mostly is the same within a production batch.

levon if you want to dim a led you can just strobe the DIN.
... it was early in the morning for CIMO too ;)
I would put a PWM on the DOUT

I've began to buy MADI.
Yann
... I don't see the context of "MADI" with this thread "MidiBox LC" you started.
Are you mentioning this because you want to send the MIDI signal over the MADI-Link to control preamp- cards of your interface with the LC?

I would like to build a really big MidiBox LC, like a System5 from Euphonix, with 6 modules of 8 fader.
I would like to have 8 pots with ring led for each fader, so I will have 64 pots on one "module" of 8 fader, 384 pots for all. 16 pots by fader would be slightly better , because I will have 4 EQ to control directly under my hand for example but 768 pots begin to be really expensive ^^
You should study the Mackie Control protocol first (no 5.1 control supportet), check the interfacing capabilities of your DAW (might be you can control 5.1 directly, "outside" of the Mackie protocol) etc.
How much do you think it will cost me approximatively ? How much time I will spent on this project ??... I think that's your homework... I don't feel like doing this for you
Good luck
Roger
PS: You should add "Not really a new idea" and "should I study the possibilities first?" to your voting ;)

i think he is doing just a nice to look at waveform ;)
greeetz
nice to look? :P
You must bekidding. - I get sick by just looking at it.

One would be able to have the whole spectrum of colours.
Using the full spectrum only makes sense to display e.g. intensity of a parameter. If you want to display the state of function, 6 colours are enough by far. - More colours are nothing more than confusing.
Greats,Roger
-
... no problem. You just connect them like 3 individual LEDs except that they have a "common"-connection on one end.
Why 3 colours? You can mix them:
- red & blue = magenta
- green & Blue = cyan
- red & green = yellow
... that gives you 6 colours.
It just needs some testing with the resistors... specially red & green, if you don't want a dirty or even brownish yellow.

Do you have soldered the parts on the wrong side ???
Read!
since I have no drill I surface mounted all the components;)

... durchsuche das Forum, da hat es etliche links.
Hier mein Tipp:

Dabei würde ich aber aufpassen, dass beim Lösen von dem Toner, ich nehm immer Nagellack, die Farbe nicht abgeht. Mit Nagellack würde die Sprühfarbe definitiv abgehen...
Ansonsten hab ich schon schöne Panels mit bedrucktem Papier unter einer Klebefolie gesehen...
... oder vielleicht Nagellack-Enferner??? ::)

An FPGA can be better than a DSP because it is much more flexible - it's like an empty container that you can turn into anything (including a DSP). At the same time, an FPGA is worse than a DSP because it is an empty container! You have to do a lot of work to get an FPGA to do anything, whereas with a DSP, it already does what it does, you just write code for it...
... very good description!

... how about posting in "Fleamarket"?

Man, is there anything that can't be patented? I'll patent using letters to write.
Why not? Why did nobody do it before? Not backlighting the slots is patented but functional signaling for audio mixers is the property.
It's fed by a RGB-LED. E.g. it shows you the function of a fader (InputChannel, Busses, Masters, etc.) or if you use it as monitor mixer on stage and you go into GraphicEQ-mode to tune the monitoring, the faders all turn yellow and act as the actual EQ band-levels.
... you see... you have to try harder ;)
Greets, Roger
-
Holy shit... what did that punching and bending cost? - Beautiful!
-
Just a suggestion - instead of trying to backlight the knob, just backlight the slot.
... it's a www.Studer.ch patent (called "FaderGlow"), but since it would not be commercially used with your project, you're cool.
-
It looks to m e like 8 Leds. 2 are for midi in /out. They should be connected to a ltc. Power led like screaming rabbit said
:P... äääähm, yepp. :-X
Thanks for the correction of the correction :D

my intent is to find a factory assembled knob/fader which i can purchase. they must be out there.
i do not plan on building my own. it is out of scope for this project.
... I wouldn't know anybody who would build the LED INTO a knob... like you wrote in your first post: They are "backlit".
So backlit is done by you, you must look for a transparent knob and stick the LED through the frontpanel to backlight the knob.
Faders: Keep in mind, that this actually has to be built INTO a knob, which means, that the connecting cables are all the time moving up and down and will break one time. Spending money for two additional taper tracks in the fader just to feed the LED is not worth the money (I'm even not shure about you'll get a fader with that many tracks).

i'm a poor student
... this is the reason why it should be built on solidarity. If only 10% of the members donate a few bucks (even if it's just $1), I think the costs will be covered. - Not everybody has to donate $100.

I was a bit confused about what the index does. My ALPS encoders have 3 pins, but this S1 encoder has 5 pins...
One thing I noticed is the fact that the ALPS don't have any type number on them for finding the datasheet etc, just the ALPS logo is visible.
... just forget about the "index". It would tell the software, when a full shaft revolution is completed. Is sometimes used like a "counter-recalibration" if any impulses of A/B got lost. This Encoder is made for high speed (e.g. motors), where the index can be used to count revolution and the quadratur is used for positioning.
The Ground pin you just can hook to the boards ground.

I'm now into my 2nd year of searching for the "right" switch
I know one for you stryd
-
Is this what the two channels are for?
... yes. Do some investigation on the forum and read Ucapss.de "DIN" for more understanding of how an encoder works.
I was wondering if i could use it for my MB project... you should find out what type you have (resolution). If you have 1000+ CPR (cycles per revolution), it could be a problem.
Most softwares let you set the Jog-resolution but so many cycles will stress your Midi-Bus and might end up in buffer overrun.
Technically from the Encoder I don't see another problem. I also have some of those (540 CPR) but I don't know yet what I will do with them.

I recieved 9 donations in total and the highest donation came from Jimp...
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o
... I'm shocked :'( !!! 3732 Members. - At least I would expect a donation from each and every one complaining and fighting about guys making money from MidiBoxes and have not been invoved in any actions for the community yet.

Edit:
Oooops... 1000 shocking posts with this one. The 1000th post could have been a more pleasant post :-\

hi i am trying to purchase 10K linear slider but at the moment i cant find 10K. the only close sliders that i found where 22k.
my question is, can i use 22k slider instead of 10K sliders? and will it have any affect on the input voltage for the PIC?
10x alot :)
... search the forum please
PS: Don't worry, I always play my own game ;D
