 This file contains configuration information about your SEQ's hardware - button, LED, and encoder assignments,​ some low level settings, etc. This file has to be in the root of your SD Card in order for the Wilba Frontpanel to work, because without this file, the SEQ core won't know anything about the buttons and LEDS on your frontpanel. ​ This file contains configuration information about your SEQ's hardware - button, LED, and encoder assignments,​ some low level settings, etc. This file has to be in the root of your SD Card in order for the Wilba Frontpanel to work, because without this file, the SEQ core won't know anything about the buttons and LEDS on your frontpanel. ​
  
 The MBSEQ_HW.V4 file is actually pretty well self-documented. ​ If you want to understand it, read through the example MBSEQ_HW.V4 files available in [[http://​svnmios.midibox.org/​listing.php?​repname=svn.mios32&​path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsequencers%2Fmidibox_seq_v4%2Fhwcfg%2F&#​|this directory]] in the [[http://​svnmios.midibox.org/​listing.php?​repname=svn.mios32&​path=%2F&​|MIOS Subversion Repository]]. The MBSEQ_HW.V4 file is actually pretty well self-documented. ​ If you want to understand it, read through the example MBSEQ_HW.V4 files available in [[http://​svnmios.midibox.org/​listing.php?​repname=svn.mios32&​path=%2Ftrunk%2Fapps%2Fsequencers%2Fmidibox_seq_v4%2Fhwcfg%2F&#​|this directory]] in the [[http://​svnmios.midibox.org/​listing.php?​repname=svn.mios32&​path=%2F&​|MIOS Subversion Repository]].

 +Buttons, encoders, and LEDs are assigned in this file by specifying the Shift Register (the 74HC165 IC chips on your PCB) and Pin to which they are attached.

 +====Adding Modules to Your SEQ====
 +Some modules, like the [[http://​www.midibox.org/​dokuwiki/​doku.php?​id=tpd_pcb&​s[]=mbseq&​s[]=hw&​s[]=v4|TPD (Track Position Display) module]], the [[http://​www.midibox.org/​dokuwiki/​doku.php?​id=aout_ng|AOUT_NG module]] (provides CV outs), and the hardware [[http://​www.ucapps.de/​midibox_seq_manual_blm.html|Button LED Matrix (BLM)]] require amendments to the MBSEQ_HW.V4 file.  To learn a bit about how this works, see, for example, the configuration documentation on [[http://​www.midibox.org/​dokuwiki/​doku.php?​id=tpd_pcb&​s[]=mbseq&​s[]=hw&​s[]=v4#​config|this page]] about the [[http://​www.midibox.org/​dokuwiki/​doku.php?​id=tpd_pcb&​s[]=mbseq&​s[]=hw&​s[]=v4|TPD module]].
 +
 +Some modules, like the QUAD_MIDI_IIC,​ are pretty much "plug and play" and don't require any editing of the MBSEQ_HW.V4 file.  Generally speaking, you'll need to edit the MBSEQ_HW.V4 whenever you're adding a module that has buttons, encoders, or LEDs that you want to assign. ​
