pilgrims1 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Can I connect 24LED rings(consists of 8 leds) with one DoutX4 module??If possible? thats good to me ..... I will connect 96 LED rigns with only 4 DoutX4 module... ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levon Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 i believe you can only have 64 leds with 1 DINx4... so that is only 8 Led rings per DINx4so with 4 DINx4 you could have 32 led rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 i believe you can only have 64 leds with 1 DINx4... so that is only 8 Led rings per DINx4so with 4 DINx4 you could have 32 led rings.DIN = Digital INput = buttons,switches,encodersDOUT = Digital OUTput = LEDs, relays, other stuff like thatone DOUT has 8 outputs (D0-D7)conclusion:a DOUTX4-PCB has 4*8=32 outputs.BUT: you can array the LEDs in a matrix (like done in the MBSID-modmatrix,) and programm a bit to save DOUT-modules.hope that helpsmatthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 DOUT = Digital OUTput ....one DOUT has 8 outputs (D0-D7)As in, one DOUTx1 module has 8 outputs (DOUTs)... Just being pedantic ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levon Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 hahah, yesterday was just one of those days where your brain decided F*** you, im not working today.yes i ment to say DOUT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinnsyk Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 please please please!use ucapps and the wiki :Phttp://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_doutx4_ledrings.pdffound on the DOUT-module Page...this is a diagram for 16 LEDrings, and you can make them out of max 16 led's each. In this example they use 11 leds/ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilgrims1 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Thank you everyone who interest in my question.....Ofcause I know... 16 Led-Rings with 11 led... pdf....But My interesting is saving DOUT Modules...... ^^*Is it possible with some modification code???Pardon me.. my toddling is very slow... ^^* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 There is no way to save pins here - increasing the number of multiplexed LED rings would make them much darker. Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/tilted/ Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Just wondering: What are the LEDrings for?I'm curious because generally LEDrings are used with rotary encoders, and you max out these at 64. So 96 LED rings may be (gulp- dare I say it) impossible.Unless you run two cores.In which case, you can't save on DOUT modules... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will connect 96 LED rigns with only 4 DoutX4 module... ^^Hey pilgrims1 I want to do the same.. are you going for 8 LEDs per encoder? The only problem I can see with going for an even number of leds in a ring is not having a 'central' led... i.e. if you are doing a panning style control.

Monobass Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Am I right in thinking that with 2 DOUT modules...(connected as shown in this image - http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp/mbhp_midibox64e.gif)you could double the amount of LED's available for LED rings?Are there any major implications of doing this? Would it require complex modification of the standard Midibox64e code?thankss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
