Hi, late but... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250569107446&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT LX

So, my mistake ;) SPEED MODE can be set of course :) But any combination of slow/normal/fast or setting of formula for fast mode doesnt worked accuratly. One step - one menu move I have 30-steps ENC Its pity :-[ :-[ :-[ LX

Hi, I have problem with seting speed at datawheel (menu) encoder. When I set to ENC_MODE_SPEED_SLOW in mb64e_presets the datawheel is in NORMAL mode still. But others Enc respond my setting NORMA/SLOW/FAST. So when I scroll in menu I have at one detend of datawheel 2 moves in menu. LX

So, problem solved. I have made "Starlike ground wiring" for fader, but without success. Than I try cut connection between GND of MF pot and GND of MF chassis. And that's problem. I have conductive front panel and GND of MF pot was join over the frontpanel. LX

Hi, thank you for quick reply. I have "Starlike ground wiring" for cores from one point PSU, MF wires starlike too from MF module, but fader ground I have connect from core module (no starlike) I try to repair fader wiring. Thanks a lot B.R. LX

Hello, I have problem with jittering pot values from motorfader core. I have switching power supply unit with 5A at +5V and 2A at +12V. I have 1000uF cap directly connected to the +5V input at MF core. When I testing this motorfader core alone, everything work OK. But when I conect another 3 cores in MB link to same +5V of my power supply jittering pot values starts. I try conect next 1000uF caps to every +5V imput of my cores with bether result but still sometimes MF core send pot mesage without move fader. Thank you for same hint LX

So When I try to set accordig to formula I get bad feature of ENC. I don't remember how I set if at SLOW mode or at FAST mode, but some testing of changing values I get What I want. I remember that types FAST and SLOW I had after uploading code to core uncannily exchanged. ??? but working ;)

Try some combination of dividers at this definition part of main.asm ;; see the documentation of MIOS_ENC_SpeedSet for the purpose of these values #define DEFAULT_ENC_SPEED_NORMAL_MODE MIOS_ENC_SPEED_NORMAL #define DEFAULT_ENC_SPEED_NORMAL_DIV 0 #define DEFAULT_ENC_SPEED_SLOW_MODE MIOS_ENC_SPEED_SLOW #define DEFAULT_ENC_SPEED_SLOW_DIV 6 ; (6: increment on every 7th step) #define DEFAULT_ENC_SPEED_FAST_MODE MIOS_ENC_SPEED_FAST #define DEFAULT_ENC_SPEED_FAST_DIV 2 ; (2: divider = 2^(7-2) = 32) I solved this problem when I want get one detent for one move at the LCD menu select encoder with 24 steps B.R.

Hi Sasa I have conected 30 steps mechanical encodes to MB64E and all is good. Speed or number of steps of encoders is no problem. I think that your problem is setting of program. In your video I saw blink only 2 LEDs and it looks that you have at pin of your enc assigned standard button function. Watch your mios_tables.inc if you have at MIOS_ENC_PIN_TABLE set this row: ENC_ENTRY 5, 0, MIOS_ENC_MODE_DETENTED ; (5 is the SR5 and 0 is assingned pins(0-1) of SR) position of this row in the ENC list is the nuber of ENC (when the row is first then ENC1) Look to main.asm too if you have set good LEDrings assigment. In your cause I think that : LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_CATHODES_1 5 LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_CATHODES_2 6 LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_ANODES_1 7 LEDRINGS_SR_ENC1_16_ANODES_2 8 and on the bigin of main.asm - Number of connected encoders must not 0 So this is all what I remember, try to check this sets and if you good know this setting sorry for this reply ;) B.R.

Hallo Sasha I use MB64E program too, and I'm quite asembler ready programer ;) If you tell me exactly what is your configuration of hartware of optical ENC I can maybe sovle your problem. What is your output from optical ENC? like tipical ENC? 2xDIN?

perfect ;) thanks

These are valuable information for me. Thanx a lot! Which size of heatshink? about 2-4 cm2 ?

Tkanks! that is what I need hear :)

Yes I think that switching power supply is ok for my (only midi :) ) controller. But I need remove some parts from TKs FM module and I dont know which? :-\

Congrat!! Super controller for making music. You build this monster in unbelivable time for me :o When I watch your video I decided for motorfader too :) good job! B.R. LX

Hi I have good switched supply DC 12V, 2A with tolerable filtering, I think. (RIPPLE & NOISE 120mVp-p) What I must keep on MF module board from capacitors and others filterning things? I want save place on my MF board and some parts are useless. X1 : B40C1500 - not stuffed C1 : 2200uF - not stuffed? (maybe lower value) C2 : 100nF - not stuffed? D33, IC4, R1, P1, C3, C4 - I must keep for exactly setting 8V for MF Thanks for your answers B.R. LX

Hi all So, I still thought about my faders and switching groups (track 1-8 and 9-16). Well, OK I go to the motorfaders! It means more time, money, more screws in frontpanel, next core, different power supply and wasted finished FDR boards, but result will be more fine ;) I can make better boards, because my experience is at higher level since the time when I design FDR boards. I change buttons near the faders too. MEC buttons looks good but the functionality is worse (hard press, strong click). OMG, so much money I must pay for them :-[ I hold only caps but buttons will be different (my favourite button, which I use for starting clips). Sasa told me this solution any years ago and he is right. So, watch the progress at http://lx.vanuatuss.org/index.php?pg=news&lang=en LX

wow quickly reply :o many thanks, It is perfect I need exactly this :) B.R. LX

Hi Ultrasound I can maybe help. I modificate the ain64_din128_dout128_v1_3 program quite a lot, but I dont understand what you want :-\ Can you more describe your set up? Are you make some changes in program yet? B.R. LX

I need this function to masking LED shift registers. It is exactly that what I need, but I dont know how to use. In MIOS Functions Reference is this description: IN see map below OUT 0x00 -> b'11111110' 0x01 -> b'11111101' 0x02 -> b'11111011' 0x03 -> b'11110111' 0x04 -> b'11101111' 0x05 -> b'11011111' 0x06 -> b'10111111' 0x07 -> b'01111111' Its great but which register is changed? IN:W OUT:W ? or register which by FSR pointer shows ? Thanks for reply LX

Today I have special .xls file where I draft out graphically most of function my controller. I hope that be comprehensible :) http://lx.vanuatuss.org/download/files/LX MidiBox.xls BR LX

Yes you are right :-\ I was start my project 4 years ago and I didnt knew if I finish all my plan. therefore I didnt pay a lot of money for motorfader. Now when I would be start project again I use motorfaders definetely. So I try to modificate my box to motorfader for two month but I dont find any Panasonic MF it is good for my box dimensions. I get only ALPS but these are too big and I would be make again my FADER boards. I plan anyway use faders for punch in-out tracks and for it is LED indication suffice. So, anyway I regred it :'( BR LX

I forgetting this topic for long time :-\ but my time is the reason ;) So, there is some news and my possible construction solution... I finished all my BUTTONS modules I finished all my ENC modules Some additional boards I prepare bottom metalplate box And Im still modifying front panel for next control solution before final cutting plate And my last idea is this... To this idea takes me Sasa. Thanks! I saw your design development of front panel where was Idea with LEDbars near his faders. He explain it like pointers of pot value (instead of motorfader). I use only 2 LEDs for indicating direction of difference between virtual and real position of fader. The LED which indicating direction will be flash different speed acording to value of difference from virtual position. >> value 128 - still light, 96 - most slow flash, ....., 01 - most quickly flash. Than I know how quickly I must turn pot to right position = difference is 0 -> start sending event and indication LED switch off. This indication function I can control by one button >> switch on(show differences)/switch off (disable function) I can have 16 tracks instead 8 => 2 groups by 8 faders. I will be less cry becouse I havent motorfader ;) Same principle I want to use for knobs. left/right direction There I hide SMD LEDs under knobs cups, becouse meny visible leds aroud knobs is make layout more blind. Light will be shine through gap between cap and frontpanel. I test it and it looks like very decently. I havent still user program for it but I know aroud way how to do it. Now I must more study TKs asembler technique :) Best regards LX

Thanks, now I fully understand this feature, its great! :) B.R. LX
