I have read conflicting advice in forum about motor faders and am unsure about whether I need 1 or 2 cores for this setup.
I will have…
8 touch sensitive motor faders
  motorfader unit + din unit
8 rotary encoders + led rings
  din unit + 2 dout units
32 backlit buttons
  4 din units + 4 dout units
am I correct in what I have a bove and will this all go on one core or do I need a seperate core for the motorfaders and a link for the 2?
oh I forgot, an LCD Display as well
Hi,
I’m currently trying to figure this out as well! I think you only need one, but I’m not sure! see also this
post…http://www.midibox.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=concepts;action=display;num=1046695347
I’m going to make my own boards, so I’m going to make an extra core, just in case. I already have 2 18F452’s, which is the expensive bit, so it isn’t much extra cost, just to make sure.
bye, from steve
p.s. hopefully someone who has successfully built a standard logic control will soon make a walkthrough? To get us confused folk up to at least that level before proceeding? (I’m not trying to pressure anyone, as I already know that there are many helpful folk on this forum!)
That will all go on the one core ;D
This from an earlier description by TK
"Maybe I should define the possible cases in some equations which makes it more clear:
max number of AIN (for faders, motorfaders, pots) pins:
when motorfaders: 8
when one AIN module: 32
when two AIN modules: 64
else 8
max number of DIN: 128
max number of DOUT: 128
every button allocates 1 DIN pin
every encoder/jogwheel allocates 2 DIN pins
every LED allocates 1 DOUT pin
LED-rings are multiplexed: 8 rings with 8*12 LEDs allocate 8 + 12 = 20 DOUT pins
with the source code you can freely assign the control elements to the pins
required for LC Emulation:
MUST: one core module
MUST: one graphical LCD or 2 * 2x40 LCDs
WANTED: at least 8 rotary encoders
WANTED: a scrub/jog wheel (9th encoder)
OPTIONAL: led-rings (but values are also shown on LCD)
WANTED: at least 32 buttons
OPTIONAL: 32 additional buttons for 8 * solo/mute/rec/select
OPTIONAL: 32 additional buttons for sequencer control (transport, bankswitching, etc.)
WANTED: LEDs for the buttons in order to receive feedback from Logic
OPTIONAL: 8 motorfaders (but not necessary at all when you use the split mode in order to swap the purpose of encoders and faders)
OPTIONAL: one additional fader, but in this case you either have to pass on the motorfaders, or you have to use a second core module
Good work Steve, a clean sweep on 4 topics this evening.he he he.
Trying to catch up with Dan  ;)
