What J1 and J2 of DIN stand for!

[ris8_allo_zen0]

Hello,

after *SEVEN* days figuring out what was wrong with my DIN built on protoboard, I discovered the problem: I didn't know, and it wasn't written anywhere (could you confirm it?), that J1 is for INPUT and J2 is for OUTPUT!

I'm really stupid for not being able to see such obvious thing, but... IMHO it's not such obvious!!

So, is it possible to edit the PDFs of DIN and DOUT schematics to add these texts near J1 and J2?

J1 --> INPUT (to Core or lower-numbered DIN/DOUT)

J2 --> OUTPUT (to higher-numbered DIN/DOUT if present)

Many thanks! :)

Best regards, Enrico

From the DIN Module page at ucapps.de:

    Following interfaces are provided by the dinx4 module:

    Name No. of pins Description

    J1  5      Interface to CORE:J9 (if buttons are used) and CORE:J6 (if encoders are used, MIDIbox16E only). DINX4:J1 provides two power pins for 5V/0V, the serial clock, the latch enable and the serial output of the register chain.

    This port can also be connected with J2 of another DINX module.

    J2  5      Interface to another DINX4 module. DINX4:J2 provides nearly the same pins like J1, just only the serial output of the first IC is replaced by the serial input of the last IC.

    This port can be connected with J1 of another DINX module.

d'oh!

For the approach I used in the troubleshooting I'd never discover this... I always kept my eyes on solderings, wires and the PDF schematics...
