superdavies Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 HiFor my project I need to use a 6 way position curson for driving an ain.All AIN input need to have a pot and a pot is a variable resistor so I thought that if I put 6 resistors in the 6 pin of the curson with value 0,2.2k,3,9k,5,6k,8,2k,10k I i'll obtain my result. But my problem is with the connection.Pots have 3 pin and my "modified 6 position curson have 2 pin, the first is the common, and the second is the other pin connected to all resistors that can be selected with the cursor; what about the third pin?Help's useful! Thank you!Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi Andrea,is this a switch which provides a common pin, which can be select between 6 terminals? Then you could connect it the same way like shown in this schematic:The resistors are connected between the terminals, and the common pin is connected to the analog input.Best Regards, Thorsten.

superdavies Posted June 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Ok, I understand!Now it's clear...it's a sort of simulaton of a pot but done with resistors!Thank you very much, another time!!!I have another question regarding an additional midi in port: I have seen the midimerger project and also the IIC midi that provide additional midi in for the midibox and I have seen that both use the RA4 port of the PIC...this is my question: If I use this port of my midibox64 for driving a 6n138 ecc connected to another midiin port does it work or I need another PIC for doing this?ByeAndrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Rabbit Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I have another question regarding an additional midi in port... better start a new thread (... as long as it has completely nothing to do with your first question). - Makes it much easier for other users to search for.Greets, Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
