====== Fadercore ====== Standard 220mm wide modules ===== VLR-8Enc ===== A PCB to add 8 Encoders with LED ring for each. {{:fadercore_vlr-8enc_top_bestueckt.png?800|}} Eagle Files: [[https://github.com/novski/Midibox/tree/master/VLR-8Enc]] {{:fadercore_8enc_schematic_page_1.png?400|}} {{:fadercore_8enc_schematic_page_2.png?400|}} {{:fadercore_8enc_dimensions.png?800|}} ==== BOM ==== BIll of Material Allways look for the cheapest seller, the Price may vary heavy!!! And look for Local dealers preferred. [[http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=where_to_order_components]] == The Encoders == I was fascinated about the RGB Shaft of this Encoder so i developed all opon this nice piece. Its not the cheapest but i sell them for a reasonable price. **And its still possible to use a non Illuminated Encoder.** == The other Materials: Mouser == * 2x10pin Header, 517-30310-6002 * 2xULN2803, 595-ULN2803ADWR * 9x100nF,594-K104K15X7RF53K2 * 6x10k, 774-77061103P * 4x220, 652-4816P-T1LF-220 * 3x220, 660-MF1/2LCT52R221J * 3x74HC165D, 771-HC165D652 * 3x74HC595D, 771-74HC595D * 3xTPIC6B595, because the MOQ is 250 i deliver them for you with the PCB. * 88xLED RED, 604-WP3A8HD * 88xLED holder 6mm Height, 749-ELM-5-6MM Project Order Basket on Mouser: [[http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=a6dbae9ab7]] The PCB is available under: [[http://vlrlab.com/lang/17-8enc.html]] * 8 Encoder, 652-PEL12T4226FS1024 **not on Projectlist because i deliver cheaper and with cap included..** The Encoder on VLRlabs.com [[https://www.vlrlab.com/encoder/13-bourns-rgb-led-encoder.html]] ==== How to get Started ==== If its your first SMD soldering you can follow this on t1:58 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uiroWBkdFY I recommend to not buy solder paste, instead buy some flux-paste like this on Mouser: 590-8341-10ML ==== Prepare the PCB ==== Start with the SMD parts and then go on the the conventional parts also on the Bottom side. Don't forget the R11,12,13. Then go on with the Topside and the LEDs before soldering the Encoder as last. Check the Connections with a Lens. ==== Prepare the Connection ==== Connect the core on J8/9 to J1 of the VLR-8Enc board. ==== Test it in MIOS ==== To make it work with MIOS .NGC File we need to know how the shift-registers are connected. **Inputs:**\\ 1# Encoder 1-4\\ 2# Encoder 5-8\\ 3# Encoder Button 1-8\\ **Outputs:**\\ 1# RED Shaft LED 1-8\\ 2# GREEN shaft LED 1-8\\ 3# BLUE shaft LED 1-8\\ 4# LED Ring Row 1-8\\ 5# LED Ring Selct 1-8\\ 6# LED Ring Select 9-11\\ Assuming that the VLR-8Enc is the first device on the chain of J8/9 we need to configure it like this:
