¿hardware failure?

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

hi all

hi had a custom MB64e with 12 encoders 10 pots 12 backlit buttons 8 buttons

all worked great but today while using it 11 of the 12 encoders stopped working

i ve uploaded the same software again but they still don t work only one of the encoders is working.

That seems to be quite funny for i can t really figure out what happened: my only idea is hardware failure but before opening the case and check it out i d like to know if anybody had a similar situation and if there is another possible solution.

thanks

Hi Simone,

here is a description, how you can troubleshoot this without opening the case (use MIDIO128):

if MIDIO128 doesn’t send events on all encoders, then you have to open the case

Best Regards, Thorsten.

ok

case is open: the ground line after the first encoder is broken !!

5 minutes to midnight 34 degrees plus a bunch of computers humming and .. now the soldering iron…
