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… ^^
i believe you can only have 64 leds with 1 DINx4… so that is only 8 Led rings per DINx4
so with 4 DINx4 you could have 32 led rings.

DIN = Digital INput = buttons,switches,encoders
DOUT = Digital OUTput = LEDs, relays, other stuff like that
one 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 helps

As in, one DOUTx1 module has 8 outputs (DOUTs)…
Just being pedantic 
hahah, yesterday was just one of those days where your brain decided F*** you, im not working today.
yes i ment to say DOUT.
please please please!
use ucapps and the wiki

found 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
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… ^^*
There is no way to save pins here - increasing the number of multiplexed LED rings would make them much darker.

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…

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.
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?
thanks
