Random AIN data

Testing/Troubleshooting
1

Hi guys! Hope you all had a good christmas, and i hope you’ll have a good new years!

Right.. i moved my working midi box from the EcoBox into a shiny new metal box.  I soldered on an extra 8 pots, and 8 encoders.

Now i get random data sending from AIN number 14, which i subsequently disconnected, but the data still kept coming in.

Now i remember i had this problem before, due to not connecting up J6 on my AIN.. I’m quite sure that i didnt alter this when moving the boards to another box - but i havent got the box in front of me to check.

Is there anything else that could be causing this - noting that the device still sends random data on AIN 14 when nothing is connected?

Hope you havent missed me and my silly newbie questions  ::slight_smile:

Stupid question by me: As you disconnected the pot14 you did pull it to ground, right? Otherwise it would just be an antenna… :stuck_out_tongue:

erm.. good question  ::slight_smile:

I got all my pots wired up so the left and right tags are connected to J7, and all i did was snip the middle wire of pot 14.. so the middle connector (that goes to A5 pin of J2 of the AIN).

So i guess its not grounded is it  :o stupid me..  I’m really looking forward to going back to uni and investigating this problem! I want to get my box working so i can make some filthy sounds in reason/reaktor :slight_smile: (i just got a new soundcard y’see).. anyway.. i digress!

HAPPY NEW YEAR Y’ALL!
