minimum parts midibox

[squid]

!!!!!!!!     I pressed tab and my post was accidently posted.....

To begin again: 

can anyone advise me on the minimum number of parts i would

need for the following midibox design?

6 pots, 16 buttons, no lcd display, no banksticks.

what software options would i need? Midibox64?

Has anyone built such a meagre box???

Thank you.

one core, one DINX4 module (alternatively built on a breadboard: only 2 * 74HC165), MB64 application with multiplexer disabled:

; Number of connected pots
; Allowed values: 1-64
#define DEFAULT_NUMBER_POTS	6	; number of connected pots
;
; Multiplexers (AINX4 modules) connected? -> set this value to 1
; No multiplexer connected= -> set this value to 0, allowed number of pots in this case: 1-8
#define DEFAULT_MUX_ENABLED	 0	; disable AIN multiplexers
[/code]

Than you very much Thorsten.

I had scanned through all the relevent asm files to see just what the minimun was i could

get away with, but got stuck on the DIN board.... i assumed that the board had to be

filled with at least 4 (74HC165) shift regs, but now i know better.

But what about the disabled AIN multiplexers..............................

How do i connect 6 or 8 pots to the core without a mux?? what am i not seeing here??

I shall go back to the job and have a good think.

Very best regards and thanks again for your speedy attention.
