Thanks for getting back on this @infovore
I’m not that good at coding yet, so if you’d be up for the task it would be very nice. If not, I’ll try and see if I can make it work somewhere down the line.

No it’s normal, there are no traces connected to the LED pins on this kind of slider. Like Okyeron suggested it might be a possible mod using an additional MUX connected to the teensy then free-wired to the LED pins.
Making the LEDs addressable requires a pile more electronics; you’d need at least another mux, and you’d be spitting PWM through it.
The LED faders have the same pinouts as non-LED faders. If you wanted to, you could bridge either the power or voltage out pins to the led pin via a resistor, and that’d make them work. Wouldn’t look great, but it’d work!

i thought i should share my solution here.
i.e. using through hole resistors soldered to a 2x3 header with jumpers that perfectly fits in between two jacks.

Would anyone by chance have a compiled firmware file that would work with the Teensy loader? I’ve been trying to get the Arduino environment to compile properly with no luck.

There’s a compiled one in the official Github releases. You want the first “.hex” file in that list.
Perfect, that’s what I needed. Thanks!
Sidenote: How does one get to that link from the main 16n page here: https://github.com/16n-faderbank/16n ? I don’t see a link, and assume I’m being stupid…
You are not being stupid; you are just falling prey to the overloaded Github UI! In the row above the file browser, “144 commits / 4 branches / 4 releases” - click the ‘releases’ option. It’s a way of marking a specific point in the Github history as an official “version”, and also attaching files such as compiled binaries to it. In this case, I compile hex versions, and attach delivery files for the hardware as well.

Hi there,
as I finally have my 16n running (after messing with my destructing stupidity), I noticed that the faders output a maximum of 126 instead of 127 when using in MIDI.
I’m sure it’s an easy fix for someone with the adequate skills. Would anyone care to take a look ?

You might try to adjust the MINFADER value (line 34 of config.h). I set mine to 200.
But my faderbank is “flipped” so, maybe it’s the MAXFADER value you need to adjust 
Thanks, I completely overlooked that arduino code could have tabs, that’s why I couldn’t find it.
How do I make an .hex file from the arduino editor ?

I generally compile and program the teensy direct from the arduino app but
sketch —> export compiled binary
Makes sense. For some reason I thought you had to use the Teensy programmer.
Thanks !

I set MINFADER to 1 to fix the problem for me

no - the teensy programmer will let you upload a .hex file somebody else has made without having to compile it. If you compile a file in Arduino, it’ll automatically get beamed through Teensy Loader to your 16n. And, as explained elsewhere, “export compiled binary” is how you generate the .hex alone.

Has anyone designed a full enclosure for this beautiful piece, by any chance? Was thinking something 3d printable.I am worried about dust issues
1 Like
not that I know of. it’s going to be a lot of material if you print it, btw.
regarding dust: the two biggest vectors for dust on a 16n are jack sockets and faders. dust on the components is largely irrelevant. so: even if you box in the sides, you’re still going to have the main dust vectors on the object exposed, and those are places where dust is meaningful - scratchy faders, ropey audio contacts.
enclosures would protect the sides/innards a bit against things like spillage, however.
