lucasmedus Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi I'm currently developing a midi controller so i can optimize the automation of my Neve VR / motorized faders. So I avoid any mistakes and buy the wrong circuits I'm asking you for any advices that could guide me in my little experience. In the mean time, I'd like to build a HUI 24 motorized faders controller with sensitives touch + a little LED screen for each fader. (to indicate the number/name of the track) I was thinking to base the whole thing on an LPC1769 Core + LPCPRESSO + 3 MF NG is it possible to connect 3 MF NG on a LPC1769 Core? if yes, what is the right way to do it? and how do I get the LED screen to work properly for each slice/track ? Thank you very much for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) lucasmedus, according to my understanding MF_NG contains a dedicated PIC, can be used standalone or integrated to some more sophisticated HUI and is accessed by MIDI, so there is no limit for chaining MF_NG units other that implied by MIDI protocol itself (within a reasonable practical limit, of course). Correct me if I'm wrong, hope this helps, freddy Edited January 23, 2013 by freddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssp Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 the midi box ng info states: up to 32 motorfaders connected to MBHP_MF_NG modules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 As already mentioned - it works! :smile:See also the .NGC page in the user manual: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_ng_manual_ngc.htmlSearch for the keyword "mf" (see especially the description of the MF command)Best Regards, Thorsten.

Teig1 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I´m finishing the build as the topic of this thread :-) (not trying to hijack the thread....) I will use the same PSU for all modules thus no need to use the optocouplers. Question: Can I connect the modules this way: (Using only 1 cable for each of the lines below) LPC1769 -> MF_NG 1-3 J11- MI1 -> MF_NG(1) - J11-MO1 J11- MO1 -> MF_NG(1) - J11-MI1 J11-MI2 -> MF_NG(2) - J11-MO1 J11-MO2 - > MF_NG(2) - J11-MI1 J5B-A6 -> MF_NG(3) - J11-MO1 J5B-A7 -> MF_NG(3) - J11-MI1 Brgds Ole Peder Edited March 12, 2013 by Teig1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi Ole, yes, this "starlike" wiring should work. Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
