8 Button Floor tile Simulator

Connections

A button is an « all or nothing » sensor or « switch ». This Floor tile simulator is made of 8 buttons that can be connected to multiple different boards :

• A Sensitive carpet interface board with its 10 point connector (peripheral cards) ;
• The digital inputs of our "4/8/12 analog interface boards" that have 8 or 16 digital inputs, (for our "Midi or OSC interface boards").

Floor tile simulator board, with two kinds of connectors. Small blue or medium white touchbuttons :

Connection to a 64 tile Sensitive carpet board.

It can imitate a set of 8 sensitive floor mats that would compose the tiles for a sensitive carpet, which is practical for testing and programming patches, and trying things out : one can work with just a few boards, without having to install a whole set of sensitive floor tiles in different areas.
To use it this way, one must plug the Simulator board on one of the senstive carpet peripheral boards with a 10 wire ribbon cable (which has 2 connectors).

Connections : 10 wire ribbon cable for Sensitive carpet peripheral boards.

Connection example : a main sensitive carpet board – its peripheral board – an 8 button simulator.

Connecting an 8 button floor tile simulator with a sensitive carpet peripheral board (n°4).

Connection to a 4/8/12 Analog to Midi Interface

The 8 button simulator plugs onto the digital inputs of our simple sensor interface boards with a 16 wire ribbon cable. (A reminder for some of our older clients : the old version of our (8 analog to midi interfaces had a 20 wire connection)

It can then be used as a way to adjust settings, temporarily replacing other buttons, or as an interactive interface, integrated into a device or structure.

Connections for digital inputs : 16 wire ribbon cables with connectors equipped with orientation indicia.

Older version : Connecting a set of buttons and switches on the digital inputs of the « 8 analog / 8 digital to Midi Interface board ». To avoid confusion this cable is identical to the the 20 wire ribbon cable that we supply to connect a control motherboard to it's actuator daughter-boards.

Button order

The button order for this board differs depending on wether one uses the simulator board with a « Sensitive carpet board » or a « 8 Ana / 8 Digi interface » board :
