Are your 8 encoders with right pinout connected to DINx4 SR input pins i0-i7 as in example file for 16 encoders ? Is external cable  right wired :  Vs to Vs, Vd to Vd, S1 to S1, SC to SC, RC to RC to the correct Core port (reading commentary to schematic, too) ?

yes they are, they have been this whole time.

like i said, i’m not a newbie.

though thanks for the thought.

one thing that has come to mind that might affect it is that i have all my grounds wired together.

though this shouldn’t make any difference.

We’re all newbies here :wink: Wiring all grounds together is correct and a good thing to do.

You can http://ucapps.de/mios/srio_interconnection_test_v1b.zip <- let’s you do Core<->DIN interconnection testing. Also http://ucapps.de/mios/ain64_din128_dout128_v2b.zip should show some changes on the LCD or via MIDI when you move an encoder.

in the readme it says that:

By default all unselected pins are 0V, except for the CS# pin which is 5V

The Pins are mapped to following Modulation Wheel Values:

   # 0: Pin CORE::J8:DO and DOUT::J1:DO = ca. 5V

   # 1: Pin CORE::J8:SC, CORE::J9:SC, DOUT::J1:SC, DIN::J1:SC = ca. 5V

   # 2: Pin CORE::J8:RC, CORE::J9:RC, DOUT::J1:RC, DIN::J1:RC = ca. 5V

since i’m only worried about the DIN right now, because i don’t currently have a DOUT, i’m only testing J9.

and from what i took from that readme is that it wants me to check the voltage across a ground and J9:SC;RC then doing the same to J1:SC;RC, right?

should be testing four voltages.

and to turn on the voltages it wants me to play with the modulation wheel in MIOS Studio?

when i do what i think it wants me to do i get nothing, not a single mV.

EDIT: i also just tryed the MIDIO128 hex and didn’t get any results, and i tryed the rotary encoders in three pin configurations to test for ground.
