d2k Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Hey...Just dun wired 64 pots in a bigger box, not gettin any jitter or random values etc, but the order of the pots seems somewhat off - ie: 1, 2, 8, 6, 5 etc instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc...but the values of each pot are all good...I've checked cabling to the AIN, and it's all in order - could it be a connection on the AIN itself or the wires connecting the pots?BestDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d2k Posted April 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 hmm, so the pot order is like this (for first 16):1,2,8,6,5,4,7,3,9,10,16,14,13,12,15,11Should be:1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16So, there's a strange pattern where say pot 8 is acting as pot 3, and pot 3 acting as 8. Pot 4 playing 6, and 6 playing 4...etc... this is how it's like for quite a few of the pots - where some seem to have swaped order with another pot, even tho the center pin of each pot which goes to the IC is soldered sequentially...I'm using 1 J7 from an AIN for all 64pots (wired starlike)...Does that narrow the prob down a 'lil?

TK. Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Hi Dan,it seems that the three multiplexer select lines @J6 are not in the correct order. Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d2k Posted April 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Hey Sly...Thanks ;)The case is from Hammond's 10 degree sloped range. I cutout the panel myself - yes all those lil piddly LED holes where drilled with a 2mm drillbit and filed out ;p - not that much fun at the time I can tell ya...I first used that app from the schaffer site to get a template going and printed it of with all centers marked, then used a hole punch so the drill bit would have a guide and it'd all drill even. Then, and most crucially, filled out everything - using mini precision files for the holes that needed it - leds, buttons, fader slots - which was 1st done using a cutoff wheel and a dremel, went through a few wheels tho ;p...To cover the odd stray drill/filing scratches I sprayed on a few coats of chrome, then a clear varnish. I did plan on using more decal (for the graphics), but i had a few probs with it all lining up on the panel - u need to get it dead right - as soon as u put it one the metal as it's v tricky to move it about without breaking it...So, tools used:Holepunch - or a sharp metal pointy ting and a hammer ;pPowerdrillDremel (with various bits - i found the fibreglass cutof wheels best suited for the fader slots)ReamerMini FileRegular flat fileToughened fingers - ull get a few marks n scratches...;pBest...Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
