Newbie question (DIN / DOUT)

[KennethA]

Hi guys.

I am a REAL newbie and have a hard time figuring out how to build my MIDIbox.

I am not sure I fully understand what the DIN and DOUT modules are for.

Can anyone tell me please ?

Thanks a lot guys !!

DIN = digital in, used for connecting buttons, buttons = on or off (therefore the D in DIN)

DOUT = digital out, used for connecting anything that accepts logic on or off (voltage or no voltage), use this to connect LEDs (but also other stuff like relais, CMOS switches, ...)

Thank you so very much.

Just the answer I was looking for :-)

also encoders attach to the DIN, but regular Pots to the AIN.
