I just realized that my development environment has the analog connections reversed and current version on testing has too. I mean, webconf’s analog numbering is reversed, so when you select CV channel 1, you are selecting 4, and so on.
Hi @jofemodo! I eventually found time to build my ZynFace today but am a bit stuck without a build guide. I guessed (with some reference to your drawing and videos) that the connectors all point out of the silkscreen side as well as the 3.5mm sockets and that is where I have soldered them. I also put the 90 degree connector pointing out of the board (over the silkscreen outline). I have soldered the DIL pins to the more populous, non-silk screen side of the VL53L0/1XV2 boards which I assume is correct so that the laser sensor points out when it is plugged in.
Assuming that is all correct, what way are the VL53L0/1XV2 boards plugged into the Tof1 & Tof2 sockets and what is pin 1 of the 40-way DIL header?
It works! (Now that I have plugged the cable in correctly .)
The ToF sensors are fun but could be more useful with some extra configuration. Currently the adjust the configured parameter from one extreme to the other but we may wish to change the range, polarity, etc. For example, assigning CC 1 to TOF-2 results in full-scale CC1 applied when the sensor is idle (no blockage) and tends towards zero as the hand gets closer. This feels the wrong way round but highlights that we should have more configuration here.
There is a lot of noise on the TOF sensors, i.e. they are constantly sending commands. There should probably be some noise filtering and/or hysteresis.
I am yet to find / buy / build any 3.5mm patch cables but look forward to connecting to my SH101.
I intentionally pointed some of my connections on the other side of the board, because of how I wanted to fit in my eurorack. I wanted the wires from the Dupont connections to be tucked away around the back. I will be using these to add some extra ins/outs and controllers at some point. Alternatively, it might just be that I put the jack sockets on the other side. I can’t remember to be honest…
But it was intentional.
(Edit: looking at your pics, I mounted the jack sockets the other side)
Oooh… And while we are here… What are the midi port connections called please? They look like some kinda jst to me, but I’m not sure which and I would like to run them to 3.5mm sockets if I can
