| That can happen, if no Motorfader is attached. In main.asm set the ENABLE_MOTORDRIVER flag to the value set 0, afterwards this effect should disappear. | That can happen, if no Motorfader is attached.

| - | No, in the Logic/Mackie Encoder movements are defined control minutes as relative Events. Check the Wiki for places to order with good prices. | + | No, in the Logic/Mackie Encoder movements are defined as relative Events. \\ |
| + | "What?"\\ | ||
| + | This means that the midibox sends a signal for "+1" when you turn your encoder clockwise, and a slightly different signal for "-1" when you turn the encoder anti-clockwise. | ||
| + | If you use a potentiometer, the MidiBox can only send the absolute value of the pot, and will only do so when it changes.\\ | ||

| + | ===== I want to build a Mackie C4 type box, does the MBLC do this? ===== | ||
| + | No.\\ | ||
| + | That is, not yet.\\ | ||
| + | There is nothing to prevent a Midibox LC/C4 box from working, but some research needs to be done. | ||
| + | When Mackie made the LC, and then the MCU, they made the protocol public. This was //probably// done to encourage software application support. Unfortunately, the Mackie C4 is not a public protocol. While it is most likely based on a similar design to the MCU, the two are not interchangable.\\ | ||
| + | Short answer: Now is your time to step up and do this research. Make the C4 possible, and win the adoration of your peers! | ||
