another stupid question (basics)

Design Concepts
1

Hi. I want to build midibox64e with 16 rotary encoders, 16 buttons and 16 leds. I have two questions:

  1. Can I use DINX3 for 20 buttons (16 buttons + 4 buttons for special functions), DINX4 for 16 rotary encoders and DOUTX2 for 16 leds ?

  2. Do it is necessary to change the firmware for this configuration or it will works without any changes.

I am from Poland, sorry for any mistakes in my txt. Best regards.

  1. DINX1 (1SR) = 8inputs

DINX3 = 24 inputs, so 20 buttons, yes.

DINX4 = 32 inputs, you need 2 per encoder, so 16 encoders, yes.

DOUTX1 = 8 outputs, so DOUTX2 for 16 leds, yes

however, you could do this with DOUTX1 I think (4x4 matrix), will need some coding.

  1. Which firmware do you intend to use ?

(you will probably need to do some changes in the settings, for encoder type, max number of DINs, DOUTs, but this isn’t really writing code)

goodluck

I want to use MIOS firmware. How can I change settings for number of encoders, buttons etc., where is this options. I see the example aplications in download section.

Maybe my configuration will be working without any changes in settings???

here is a hint

build the core then test it

build 1 ain test it

and so on…

by doing this in a slow but sequential manner you will understand it a lot better.Plus you will work out which application/firmware you will need.
