Hey…
Just dun wired 64 pots in a bigger box, not gettin any jitter or random values etc, but the order of the pots seems somewhat off - ie: 1, 2, 8, 6, 5 etc instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc…but the values of each pot are all good…
I’ve checked cabling to the AIN, and it’s all in order - could it be a connection on the AIN itself or the wires connecting the pots?
Best

hmm, so the pot order is like this (for first 16):
1,2,8,6,5,4,7,3,9,10,16,14,13,12,15,11
Should be:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16
So, there’s a strange pattern where say pot 8 is acting as pot 3, and pot 3 acting as 8. Pot 4 playing 6, and 6 playing 4…etc… this is how it’s like for quite a few of the pots - where some seem to have swaped order with another pot, even tho the center pin of each pot which goes to the IC is soldered sequentially…
I’m using 1 J7 from an AIN for all 64pots (wired starlike)…
Does that narrow the prob down a 'lil?

Hi Dan,
it seems that the three multiplexer select lines @J6 are not in the correct order.
Best Regards, Thorsten.

hey, this one is really nice. How/where do you make/find your case (panels)? It looks absolutely fantastic!

Hey Sly…
Thanks
The case is from Hammond’s 10 degree sloped range. I cutout the panel myself - yes all those lil piddly LED holes where drilled with a 2mm drillbit and filed out ;p - not that much fun at the time I can tell ya…
I first used that app from the schaffer site to get a template going and printed it of with all centers marked, then used a hole punch so the drill bit would have a guide and it’d all drill even. Then, and most crucially, filled out everything - using mini precision files for the holes that needed it - leds, buttons, fader slots - which was 1st done using a cutoff wheel and a dremel, went through a few wheels tho ;p…
To cover the odd stray drill/filing scratches I sprayed on a few coats of chrome, then a clear varnish. I did plan on using more decal (for the graphics), but i had a few probs with it all lining up on the panel - u need to get it dead right - as soon as u put it one the metal as it’s v tricky to move it about without breaking it…
So, tools used:
Holepunch - or a sharp metal pointy ting and a hammer ;p
Powerdrill
Dremel (with various bits - i found the fibreglass cutof wheels best suited for the fader slots)
Reamer
Mini File
Regular flat file
Toughened fingers - ull get a few marks n scratches…;p
