Flip device

[Elberstein]

It would useful to have the possibility to flip the device, I2C connector on top, midi connector on the left.

In config.h there's an option for the fader numbers #define REV 1 but what is the best way to also invert the values ?

I replaced temp = map(temp, MINFADER, MAXFADER, 0, 16383); with temp = map(temp, MINFADER, MAXFADER, 16383, 0);

It works but the lowest MIDI value is always 2 or 3. How can I adjust that please ?

I'll have a think. I think the nice feature would be to have a single define flag like the L-R reversing, called FLIP, that would just make this happen.

In the meantime - have a go at reducing MINFADER, which is line 34 in config.h - basically, might be worth fettling the sensitivity of the analog read. I'll look into this further in coming days. For now, I'm just kicking off a branch to work on this.

Unfortunately, the hack temp = map(temp, MINFADER, MAXFADER, 16383, 0); doesn't seem to work with I2C, and reducing the value of MINFADER does't seem to have any effect

i2c Write (1)
Port: 0; Mode: 0 [0]
i2c Read
delivering: 0; value: 8407 [8407]

It always delivers the same value

OK, duly noted. Pretty sure I can come up with a solution for this - but not before Friday this week!

OK, @Elberstein . I've taken a quick pass at this in a branch and got a PR open for it - https://github.com/16n-faderbank/16n/pull/17 . If you're comfortable downloading that branch and flashing that firmware, can you let me know how you get on? I've tested it on my 16n, which, over USB MIDI, behaves correctly when REV and FLIP config settings are set to 1. We can move discussion over to the PR if you'd like.

(and: if that sounds like gibberish, let me know, and I'll go more slowly - I'm aware I'm more comfortable with GitHub than many people).

I'm not really familiar with Github, I have to learn but it's not a problem. Thanks for adding this feature. I've just tested it with the Teletype. It works but the minimum I2C value is around 350 even if MINFADER is set to 0. The min fader value sent via MIDI CC is 3, can you reach 0 with yours ?

[infovore]

OK, I think I have it working now. If you get the firmware in this branch - https://github.com/16n-faderbank/16n/tree/flip_feature - and enable FLIP and REV, my debug log seems to send correct I2C out when the thing is upside down.

[Elberstein]

Yes it works but I have to increase the MINFADER value up to 200. If I do, the fader moves on the full scale 0 to 127 and 0 to approx. 16380, sometimes a bit less but the most important is to reach 0

Merged to master.
