ER-MIDI-CV4-02

Features

• Eurorack 6HP, 3U module
• Adapted from HAGIWO's MIDI to CV module
  • Translate from Japanese to English using browser
  • Has 4 Analog Outputs instead of 2
  • Arduino Pro Mini instead of Arduino NANO
• Based also on SYNTH-MIDI-CTL-01
• Three card stack-up
  • Front Panel card
  • Controls card
    • 8 jacks, 1 pot
  • Processor card
• Arduino Pro Mini
  • 16 MHz
  • 5V
• MIDI In
  • TRS Type A jack MIDI In
  • USB MIDI In if external FTDI card/cable
• (4) 0-5V Analog CV outs
  • MCP4822 12-bit D/A - SPI Interface
    • MCP4822 Datasheet
  • D/A has built in output opamps, set gain to 2X
    • Outputs may only swing 2x 2.048V or 4.096V (4 octaves)
• GATE output (0-5V)
• CLK output (0-5V)
• Standard Eurorack 16 pin power header

Arduino Pins

• Arduino Pro Mini

• Analog 1 - Speed Adjust POT
• A4 = SDA
• A5 = SCL
• D8 = LDAC1* to CV_1, CV2
• D9 = LDAC2* to CV_3, CV_4
• D13 = SPI CSK to both ADCs
• D11 = SPI MOSI to both ADCs
• D10 = SLAVE SELECT to both ADCs
