 +**This sensorizer project (version 0.2) uses an outdated GUI. There will be no further developments; instead go and build the new ACSensorizer - there have been made major improvements in the GUI/HUI => [[ACSensorizer_basic|AC Sensorizer 0.4]]**

 +====== Description =====
 +
 +**//AC Sensorizer sensorizes up to 8 sensors and interpolates its AIN-readings.
 +The main target of this application are sensoric devices delivering not exactly 
 +0 - 5 V, like pressure-, distance-, resistor-based sensors or softPots.//**
 +
 +:!:\\
 +This is a preliminary beta-release.\\
 +Use and build at your own risk!\\
 +There have been made major improvements in the GUI/HUI within the **newer release called [[ACSensorizer_basic|AC Sensorizer Basic]]** ...\\
 +The **Sensorizer Stage** (this one here) will be updated later on, but it is very likely that one more DIN and some more Encoders will be added!

 +
 +Note: \\
 +//The Sensorizer is attached to a Computer which converts the Controller Messages – produced by the Sensorizer – to harmonized and clock-synchronized Note-Signals. I'm using Absynth Sounds ...but due to the buggy versions I'm looking forward to use a hardware synth somewhen //
 +
 +\\
 +
 +===== Features =====
 +
 +  * supports up to 8 sensors, code can be adapted to use more (eg with PIC18F4620)
 +  * enable/disable single AINs
 +  * slowdown: slows down the signal and increases the gaps between generated values
 +  * assignable CH and Controller-Number
 +  * sense-min: 10bit value, ignores every signal below
 +  * sense-max: 10bit value, ignores every signal above
 +  * sense-factor: used for signal interpolation... uses fast bitshifting or complex division depending on value
 +  * AUTO-sense feature: auto-calibration of sensor, detect MIN/MAX by sensing automatically adapts sense-factor!
 +  * scale from and scale to: scales the output value from/to
 +  * invert signal
 +  * pedal modes:
 +    * filter => only forward if pedal down; 
 +    * panic  => send panic on release pedal; 
 +    * combinations of all pedal mode options are possible 
 +  * detect release: send 0-value if signal drops below sense-min
 +  * bankstick support: 1 connected bankstick provides 2 banks with 127 patches each
 +  * midi configurable: full configuration possible with NRPN-messages 
 +    * NRPN-MSB CC99 for sensorSelect / sysEx mode
 +    * NRPN-LSB CC98 for controlType
 +    * DataEntry MSB CC6 and LSB CC38 for controlValue
 +  * LCD-Output (2x16 or -recommended- 4x20)
 +  * HUI-Input to control up to 4 sensors with 8 switch-encoders, pedal, store- & panic-button in 2 modes (PLAY/SETUP)
 +  * ACSim Console Debugger: code integrated and ready to use configured for XCode2
 +    * select "ACSim" as target and test the application via command-line
 +    * inspect variables with a (graphical) debugger (GDB support within XCode2)
 +    * visit http://www.midibox.org -> there's a tutorial how to use Code::Blocks
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +\\
 +===== Required hardware===== 
 +
 +**MBHP Modules:**
 +   * one MBHP_CORE module
 +   * one MBHP_LCD module (5x20 optimized, 2x16 available)
 +   * one MBHP_DIN module for
 + * 8 Encoders (preferrably with):
 + * 8 pushButtons
 + * 1 mode-select switch
 + * 1 pedal (optional)
 + * 1 PANIC button (optional)
 + * 1 STORE button (optional)
 + * 1 UP & 1 DOWN button (optional)
 +
 +**Sensors:**
 +   * up to 8 (default: 4) sensors connected to unmuxed AIN (J5 of MBHP_CORE). Note that sensors 5 to 8 can only be configured via MIDI by sending NRPN-messages
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +\\
 +
 +====== Application Software ======
 +
 +  * [[http://www.audiocommander.de/downloads/midibox/m5_sensorizer_024.zip|m5 sensorizer v 0.2.4]] (348 kB), download from http://www.audiocommander.de
 +  * [[http://www.audiocommander.de/downloads/midibox/m5_sensorizer_024_readme.txt|readme.txt]]  ...you should really read this, even if you're not recompiling the software!
 +
 +\\
 +//Version History//
 +  * 0.2.2:
 +    * initial release
 +  * 0.2.3:
 +    * removed MidiTrough and used MIOS_Merger
 +    * some minor bugs
 +    * two example miniAudicle/Chuck NRPN scripts are now included
 +  * 0.2.4: 
 +    * fixed severe bank select bug that prevented accessing even banks
 +
 +\\
 +//Compiling Notes//
 +
 +The application can be recompiled with a variety of strictly separated #define-
 +options. For example setting SENSORIZER_INTERFACE_HUI to 0 compiles the application 
 +without hardware input controls and therefore reduces the file- and application space.
 +Compiling without HUI, BANKSTICK, NRPN-Config and LCD generates code with approx. 3 or 4 pages; compiling with all options will result in an application file of approx. 12 to 14 pages.
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +
 +\\
 +\\
 +
 +====== MIDI-Controllable Parameters ======
 +
 +All Sensorizer parameters can be controlled and set by sending NRPN messages by MIDI: 
 +
 +1. Send NRPN MSB (Controller# 99) to select control type\\
 +2. Send NRPN LSB (Controller# 98) to set the control parameter\\
 +3. Send NRPN Data MSB (Controller# 6) and NRPN Data LSB (Controller# 38) to set the parameter value\\
 +
 +\\

 +
 +====== HUI-Controllable Parameters ======
 +
 +:!: **The design of the Encoders is about to change with the next version. I just had one DIN at hand and the whole project had to be finished in time; with a second DIN and 4/5 more Encoders, everything will be a bit handier...**
 +
 +If you build the Sensorizer with enabled HUI-mode, it provides configuration possibilities for 4 sensors. However, you could change the code easily to support all 8 sensors.
 +
 +Used Hardware:
 +  * 1 Mode-Switch button (PLAYMODE <-> SETUPMODE)
 +  * 8 Encoders with Switch, two Encoders per sensor, the first row of encoders is called ENC_MIN, the lower ENC_MAX
 +  * 4 Buttons (UP, DOWN, STORE, PANIC)
 +
 +\\
 +^ Function ^ Encoder(s) ^ PLAYMODE ^ SETUP-MODE ^
 +| Turn     | ENC_MIN    | slowdown factor | scale from |
 +| Turn     | ENC_MAX    | send value      | scale to   |
 +| Press & Turn | ENC_MIN | CH (MIDI Channel) | senseMin (10bit) |
 +| Press & Turn | ENC_MAX | CC (MIDI Controller) | senseMax (10bit) |
 +|       | | | |
 +| Press | ENC_MIN + ENC_MAX | sensor ON | AUTOSENSE_MIN |
 +| Press | ENC_MAX + ENC_MIN | sensor OFF | AUTOSENSE_MAX |
 +|       | | | |
 +| Press | PANIC + PEDAL | switch PEDALMODE (Mode 0 to 7) | |
 +| Press | PANIC + ENC_MAX | switch RELEASE DETECT (ON/OFF) | |
 +| Press & Turn | PANIC + ENC_MAX | senseFactor (0-32) | - |

 +====== BANKSTICK Patch Description ======
 +m5_sensorizer supports writing and reading to a connected bankstick.\\
 +Each patch consists of 2 pages ˆ 64 bytes => 128 bytes\\
 +2 banks with 128 patches each are available per 1 connected bankstick
 +
 +Sending a PRG_CH message in PLAYMODE [P] loads the corresponding patch.\\
 +Sending a PRG_CH message in SETUPMODE[S] sets the corresponding patch without loading the patch data. Use this behavior to copy patches.
 +
 +Choose the appropriate bank by sending a Coarse-Adjust Bankselect (CC#0).\\
 +In HUI-Mode, switching a bank on the device also sends the current Bank/PRG.\\
