2018/12/21 23:47 SEQv4+ le mec SEQv4+ le mec This board holds the SEQ's illuminated buttons, which are driven from a shift register matrix. The ENC- PLATE board stacks on top. Schematic A shift register chain of 3 DIN 74HC165 and 2 DOUT 74HC595 chips are used. Two of the DINs scan the encoders and one scans the button columns.

2018/12/21 23:47 SEQv4+ le mec Ghosting. As seems common with these kinds of matrices, there is some unwanted lighting of LEDs. This is most apparent when trying to light up the bottom row of MEC switch LEDs, as the resistive path to the Superflux LED is lower and thus glows unintentionally.

It's very important to have the pin 1 dot aligned with the silkscreen marking. The LEDs are available in RGB, but the official MIDIbox SEQ software only supports two of these colours. (if wanted, you could attach 0.1“ headers to the PCB and drive the LEDs with custom hardware.) So we need to select what LEDs are in the matrix using the resistor jumpers (RJ).

2018/12/21 23:47 SEQv4+ le mec SJs are similar. As the current is quite high to drive the RGB LEDs, it's wise to use a 100-220R resistor to provide suitable current to the MEC LEDs. The position should match 1, 2 or 3 (two arbitrary positions) according to how the RJ of the same column is connected.
