- | MF Module is used to control up to 8 motorized faders. | + | {{ :neonking: |

- | The MF module connects to J7 on the [[core module]], and also connects to the motors on the faders. | + | =====Introduction===== |
- | The MF module is used by the [[MIDIbox LC]] application. | + | The MF_NG module is the successor of the MBHP_MF module and has following design targets: |
+ | |||
+ | * find a solution to handle high-quality faders like Alps K faders with " | ||
+ | * find a solution for Core32 which doesn' | ||
+ | * find a solution for Core32 which cannot handle touch sensors properly without heavy CPU load (resp. without an additional external device or microcontroller) | ||
+ | * find a solution which is compatible with PIC based projects for best usability | ||
+ | * find a solution which is DIY friendly and doesn' | ||
+ | * find a solution which can be easily tested and troubleshooted (no need to learn new processes) | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ :: | ||
+ | |||
+ | And the result is: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * a dedicated PIC controller controls the motorfaders directly. | ||
+ | * the firmware can be updated via MIDI! | ||
+ | * motorfaders are accessed via MIDI - this allows standalone usage, cascading (to chain multiple modules), and the re-use of existing infrastructure such as MIOS, MIOS Studio and MIOS Bootloader | ||
+ | * the module can either be connected to a PC directly, or controlled from a second PIC or STM32 | ||
+ | * native support of various protocols (e.g. PitchBender, | ||
+ | * support for 8 touch sensors | ||
+ | * instead of TC4427 I'm using L293D now - not at least because of the integrated diodes. | ||
+ | * due to the direct motor control connections, | ||
+ | * since the firmware is dedicated for this task, there was enough memory free to integrate advanced features, such as runtime-calibration and motor position tracing which are supported by MIOS Studio: | ||
