May I suggest a feature? Instead have the virtual light on the Channel display when you touch the fader, the dB value of the fader in that position is very useful (Digico style) 😉
Thanks Gianluca, that's interesting suggestion. As i said in my Q&A video on the project, technically speaking I can do whatever I want. The only actual limit is the protocol (Mackie Universal Control Protocol). For what concerns the meter, the protocol returns only 14 values (the 14 LEDs that you see next to the flying faders) from - infinite to +6Db. Question: would you still want to have the Db value on the display knowing that it does not return the real value but an approximation devided by 14 instead? Cheers!
@@fcampanini i mean not the dB value of the meter, but the value in dB of fader position! Fader @0dB for example, fader @ -10dB...the value of the position of the fader should have at least 1024 steps but I'm sure your is better ;)
@@gianlucabertoldi3895 ok I see. I’m not entirely sure what’s the value in remarking the position of the fader on the display where this is few centimeters from the fader…. But I will give it a try! Thanks for suggesting and stay tuned!
A long time ago (probably around 2015) I tried to build such console using used Yamaha CL5 potentiometers and an Arduino MEGA... It didn't work 😂 I was defeated by the part of the program responsible for controlling the motor "In real time" and the PID controller. It seems to me that Arduino is too slow for this type of tasks and its ADC is too noisy. 🙁 What controller do you use and how did you manage to make the fader move so perfectly and smoothly? Are you using some kind of external ADC to read the position of the faders?
Hello realizator5567, i’using stm32F072 for the channels and the stm32H723 for the main controller. Arduino mega could be fine probably to make one channel. I don’t use external ADC. Cheers
Great content and update as always, FC!👍
I still don't know why I watch these videos lol
As long as you watch them! It’s fine! Lol
@@fcampanini it's mostly because I don't understand the end goal. If you are doing these to eventually sell or whatever it might be.
Checkout the Q&A video! Cheers!
