Will this go on one core?

[sidysm]

I have read conflicting advice in forum about motor faders and am unsure about whether I need 1 or 2 cores for this setup.

I will have...

8 touch sensitive motor faders

    motorfader unit + din unit

8 rotary encoders + led rings

    din unit + 2 dout units

32 backlit buttons

    4 din units + 4 dout units

am I correct in what I have a bove and will this all go on one core or do I need a seperate core for the motorfaders and a link for the 2?

oh I forgot, an LCD Display as well

Hi,

 I'm currently trying to figure this out as well! I think you only need one, but I'm not sure! see also this

I'm going to make my own boards, so I'm going to make an extra core, just in case. I already have 2 18F452's, which is the expensive bit, so it isn't much extra cost, just to make sure.

bye, from steve

p.s. hopefully someone who has successfully built a standard logic control will soon make a walkthrough? To get us confused folk up to at least that level before proceeding? (I'm not trying to pressure anyone, as I already know that there are many helpful folk on this forum!)

That will all go on the one core ;D

This from an earlier description by TK

"Maybe I should define the possible cases in some equations which makes it more clear:

max number of AIN (for faders, motorfaders, pots) pins:

when motorfaders: 8

when one AIN module: 32

when two AIN modules: 64

else 8

max number of DIN: 128

max number of DOUT: 128

every button allocates 1 DIN pin

every encoder/jogwheel allocates 2 DIN pins

every LED allocates 1 DOUT pin

LED-rings are multiplexed: 8 rings with 8*12 LEDs allocate 8 + 12 = 20 DOUT pins

with the source code you can freely assign the control elements to the pins

required for LC Emulation:

MUST: one core module

MUST: one graphical LCD or 2 * 2x40 LCDs

WANTED: at least 8 rotary encoders

WANTED: a scrub/jog wheel (9th encoder)

OPTIONAL: led-rings (but values are also shown on LCD)

WANTED: at least 32 buttons

OPTIONAL: 32 additional buttons for 8 * solo/mute/rec/select

OPTIONAL: 32 additional buttons for sequencer control (transport, bankswitching, etc.)

WANTED: LEDs for the buttons in order to receive feedback from Logic

OPTIONAL: 8 motorfaders (but not necessary at all when you use the split mode in order to swap the purpose of encoders and faders)

OPTIONAL: one additional fader, but in this case you either have to pass on the motorfaders, or you have to use a second core module

Good work Steve, a clean sweep on 4 topics this evening.he he he.

Trying to catch up with Dan  ;)
