====== AIN Module ====== **AIN** means "Analog Input". Analog is meant as a range; in terms of voltage this range is normally from 0 to 5 V, in terms of programming this is normally a 10bit value from 0 to 1023. It's quite clear if you see this in contrast to the Digital Inputs (via [[DIN Module]]), which know just two states: on or off, 1 or 0. The AIN module is normally used to connect potentiometers to the Midibox, usually these two types: * circular pots => Turning knobs * linear pots => Faders :!: **Potentiometers (also "Pots") should have a typical resistance value of 10 kΩ.** [[Motorfaders]] have to be connected to a special module called [[MF Module]]. It's also possible to use other 0-5V analog voltage sources. The [[ACSensorizer]] is a user project especially developed for AIN sources (like sensors) that do not deliver 0-5V exactly.\\ ====== See also ====== * [[http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_ain.html|AIN Module]] <sup>uCApps</sup>\\ * [[ain board parts list]] * [[ACSensorizer]] * [[http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_ext.html|Midibox Extensions]] page * [[http://sound.westhost.com/pots.htm|sound.westhost.com/pots.htm]] interesting background informations about pots
