Sure, it was designed as a MBCV v2 setup working with the ENC/PAD/SR boards (the DIN6DOUT4 can stack on the rear). Other priorities for the moment, so it’s on hold. TK. has even developed a HWCFG for it; it’s just been on the backburner for a while…
0204 is just the “wire link” resistor package. Notice one of the pads is connected to the encoder body, so bridging the TS parts as drawn as a “resistor missing a side” with wire will connect the metal surface to the DIN chain. Then something like a metal washer or custom CNC part can be connected to the encoder body using the thread/nut/washer.
It was done like this so that the TS functions can be separate from the encoders if needed, and also that the metal surface can be “processed.”
is there any speciality by using the driver instead of not useing a driver? (could i just run/adapt the MB-Programmer code for example… or is there more to do?)
Just follow the normal LCD setup by defining the desired number of displays through the bootloader app. I think the first 8 are still selected by J15, but I’m sure you could configure 64 lines using the Disp Driver CS if wanted.
It may be useful to power the driver at +5V if the OLEDs are locally regulated.
