Slorrin Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 I can't find the pinout for the rotary encoder i got from avishowtech... i checked bourns website... but which pin is which? Quote
Slorrin Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 i know, i saw itI know now the precise measurements of the unit.. and yet, the pinout is not explainedA B C are the names of the pins.. but i need to know which is the ground pin... that's allis the ground pin the middle pin? one of the side pins?

stryd_one Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Ahh so you want to know the meanings of the pin names... I posted that so you could see which pin was named how.If you'd searched the wiki for 'encoder pinout' you'd know this, cause it's the first and only hit!http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=encoder_specifications Encoder mode: “DETENTED2â€, 24 steps per turnPinout: http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/images/encspecs17.gifNote: the rightmost picture is “top down†(as seen from the top of the encoder looking down to the shaft)pin “A†goes to D1pin “C†goes to Vspin “B†goes to D0(This means that, encoder C pin is “commonâ€. Encoder B pin goes to lower numbered DIN pin (of two pins assigned to that encoder) and encoder A pin to higher numbered DIN pin.) Quote
Slorrin Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 I search the forums and wiki for things and never find them, i guess i'm using the wrong search arguments... Quote
stryd_one Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Yeh that happens... What did you search for? It seems pretty hard to miss, and it'd help with the search tutorial if I could find out what the stumbling blocks are. Quote
kris Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 hey stryd it sounds like that search tutorial is needed badly to stop any more miss understandings arguments etc regards kris Quote
Slorrin Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 in this specific instance, i searched only the forums.In other isntances i have serached the wiki and come up blank, only to find after asking that there is something under a name i didn't think of :(Right now, i have found the SRIO test, at last, something to check why my DIN module is not changing my sid parameters.. however, i didnt' find it in the wiki, which reccomends i use some MIDIO128 program, when i went to download it, i saw there was a program specifically for the DIN module.. i don't know whch is the better solution.. all I know is that my DIN module and buttons don't enter the menu, and that leaves me parameterless... :(This isn't as hard as building an analog synth from scratch, but this is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from a beginner project.. ahahaha!! it's still exciting when i get frustrated to play back my first mp3s of my first sid noises at least :) Quote
stryd_one Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 Thanks for the info man. http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=din_module might help. I couldn't find it in the search, but following the links from the wiki homepage led me right to it... There's definitely a lack of troubleshooting info on the wiki, and it's much harder to find on the forums amongst so many posts... Quote
Slorrin Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 Believe me, i went through that already.I have another thread, here http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php?topic=8816.0 where i show my voltmeter results for the D0 SC RC check... i hope someone can make sense of them Quote
stryd_one Posted March 23, 2007 Report Posted March 23, 2007 i hope someone can make sense of themNot off the top of my head no... But it is 0435 in the morning and I've been coding all night, I wouldn't know the answer if it were wrapped in the marquee tag ;D Quote
Slorrin Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Posted March 23, 2007 Ahaha.. well, hopefully someone who knows about these things can take a look and figure out why i'm not getting any sweet control surface action happening.I've been using the patch manager to upload some good patches from the preset bank... at least that's working... :)I love the ARPS Quote
