sidysm Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 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 unit8 rotary encoders + led rings   din unit + 2 dout units32 backlit buttons   4 din units + 4 dout unitsam 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_C Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 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 post...http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=concepts;action=display;num=1046695347I'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 stevep.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!)

Ian_Hurlock Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 That will all go on the one core ;DThis 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  ;)'Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
