Rotary Encoder button wiring

[Silverfish]

Hi again-

I began looking at schematics for the rotary encoders and did not see anything about the encoder push buttons (perhaps I didn't look hard enough).  Do the buttons require seperate wiring to a DINx4 module?

Thanks again,

yes, these should be wired to the dinx4 just like an ordinary button, if memory serves.

That's right, just connect the two pins corresponding to the push just like any other button (one on the ground, and the other to one DIN pin.

Thanks.  I'm attempting to build a Mackie Control clone and squeeze in a few more things (like  crossfade, xy pad, D-beam, or 16 more rotary encoders) with out building another core.  I'm still up in the air between MBLC or MB64e. Can Core port J6 be used for another DIN? I think I read something about that somewhere around here.  How many total inputs does a MC clone utilize? And how do you replace 9 motor faders with encoders (where do they go)?

Thanks again,

I personally own a real Mackie Control, that's a very breat piece of hardware  ;D I understand why you wanna build a clone  8)

Encoders are connected to a DIN. I don't think you should connect your encoders to the J6; I'd connect multiple DIN cascading (but perhaps you should wait for an other opinion to be sure ...  :-\)
