Can you skip the DIN module?

[Greg Robinson]

Hi,

The project I'm looking to put together only requires a single rotary encoder, and a single push-button switch.

Just wondering if I can skip the DIN module because I don't need to multiplex, and wire the encoder straight to CORE: J6, and the button straight to CORE: J9. I especially don't want to have to use two DIN modules just for two controls.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Greg, if I remember correctly you can use J5 as digital in or out instead of using a DIN, check in setup. asm or the read me files to find out what you need to change in the code to make the app work with J5 like that

btw, you would only need 1 DIN for your project as you have a total of 3 switches and each DIN gives you 8 digital input pins

You can use J5 as digital IO, there's no encoder driver for J5 though. So either you use a DINx1 (which essentially is a single 74HC165) or write some code :)
