Overview

Omni close.jpg
Our Omni boards allow you to create over 30+ different configurations using a single circuit board. You can use rubber buttons, LEDs, rotary potentiometers, 30mm and 60mm faders, and small and large arcade buttons. Use multiple boards to make your controller as large or small as you'd like. The Omni board's labels make it easy to connect your components and all of the connections are routed to pin headers for easy ribbon cable connectivity. *note that encoders are not supported in version 1.0, version 1.1 will support them.

Naming Conventions

  • SC_ - Slider (fader) capacitor
  • RC_ - Rotary capacitor
  • HC_ - Header capacitor
  • BD_ - Button diode
  • BDD_ -button dual diode
  • ER_ - Encoder resistor (jumper)

Module Naming

For simplicity we have named the modules according to the parts that make up the controller (ex. 4B4S4K = 4 button, 4 slider, 4 knob)

  • S - slider (fader/ slide potentiometer)
  • K - Knob (rotary potentiometer)
  • B - Button

Ribbon headers explained

The Omni board uses common 10 pin rectangular connector pin headers. These all are dual row and have a pitch of .1” or 2.54mm. Each pin header has a triangle marking pin one on the board. The pins are numbered by staggering from pin 1 down the pin header.

Pinheader2.jpg

The Omni board is actually 3 overlayed circuits consisting of an LED matrix, Button Matrix, and Analog circuit for potentiometers. Potentiometers can either be slider or rotary. All matrix circuits are made up of 2 columns and 8 rows. All analog headers consist of a common ground(Gnd) and power(VCC) that all pots share on that header, as well as an individual “wiper” pin for each specific potentiometer on that header.

  1. Locate LED 1-16 and populate using either thru hole or surface mount LED. Your anode should line up with the flat side of the circle around the thru hole.
  2. Locate BD 1-16 and populate from the back with a signal diode. These diodes are for your buttons. Make sure the line on diode matches the direction of the line diagram on the board. Alternatively if you want to use surface mount diodes populate BDD 9-16S.
  3. Locater headers: But/Enc.Row1/3 and LEDmatrix. Populate using a 10 pin pin-headers.

Bus Board Connection

  • Plug in 10 pin ribbon cable to the (But/Enc.ROW1/3) pin header so that pin1(pink stripe) matches up to arrow on board.
  • Plug in 10 pin ribbon cable to the (LEDmatrix) pin header so that pin1(pink stripe) matches up to arrow on board.
  • Plug (But/Enc.ROW1/3) ribbon cable into the first available (Button B1-B8) header of the Buss Board.
  • Plug (LEDmatrix) ribbon cable into the first available (LED L1-L8) header of the Buss Board.

Direct Connection

  • The omni module can direct connect to our early builder series. See wiki instructions on our breakout board.
  • Create 2 10 pin ribbon cable with a connector on only one end or cut a regular ribbon cable in half.
  • Plug in 10 pin ribbon cable to the (But/Enc.ROW1/3) pin header so that pin1(red stripe) matches up to the arrow on the board.
  • Plug in 10 pin ribbon cable to the (LEDmatrix) pin header so that pin1(red stripe) matches up to the arrow on the board.
  • For the (But/Enc.ROW1/3) ribbon cable, strip all the ends of the bare end of the cable and strip them out so that you have individual wires.
  • For the (LEDmatrix) ribbon cable, strip all the ends of the bare end of the cable and strip them out so that you have individual wires.
  • Solder the first pink wire and the second wire of the (But/Enc.ROW1/3) ribbon cable to the first available consecutive BC pin holes in the button matrix section of the breakout board
  • Solder wires 3 - 10 of the (But/Enc.ROW1/3) ribbon cable to the next available consecutive BR pin holes in the button matrix section of the breakout board

Also, different omni modules can share the same BC(Button column) pin holes as other modules as long as they do not share the same BR(Button row) pin holes of that same module.
  • ex. if you have several 14 button omni boards, they are each on a 2 column x 8 row matrix. They can all share BR (button row) pins 1 - 8 as long as each Omni board is wired to a discreet pair of BC(button column) pin holes. (i.e - Omni1 to BC1 & BC2, Omni2 to BC3 & BC4, Omni3 to BC5 & BC6, Omni4 toBC7 & BC8)
  • Solder the first red wire and the second wire of the (LEDmatrix) ribbon cable to the first available consecutive LC(LED column) pin holes in the button matrix section of the breakout board
