finished the motor controllers and added for oled modules on two i2c lines, one paired with the io extender. although finished the fader module schematics!

added the switches in a matrix with a i2c gpio expander because the main stm32 chip do not have another 12 free pins, the io expander has 8 more free ports which I simply expose to a pin header port. then I started with the motor control for the faders!
done some research on the cheap x32 motorised fader on Alibaba, made the symbol and footprint and started wiring it to the stm32 for the fader, button and oled display module of the console.
finshed the Art-Net output module and already finished the Relay Out Module which sends RS-485 commands over a network cable to a relay or mosfet module to control old hardware or pyrotechnic for events! I make the relay module seperate because it dont really is in the DMX Console, it is more a separate thing!
finished the 4x Output Module.
started to make a 4x Out Version of the first 1x Output module.
added the Max3485 chip with XLR Connectors for DMX512. finished the Schematics for the Single DMX Output Board now and continue with the 4x Output Board!
Finished the W5500 SPI Connection to the STM32 main processor, added an RJ45 connector and everything needed for the W5500 to work correctly.
started to connect the W5500 ethernet chip to the stm32
today I started with the base stm32 logic for the single DMX Output board! I added a jumper so the usb power can be used for programming and debugging, some protection, a Voltage regulator, decoupling caps as well as reset and boot buttons. the external power and usb connections is next as well as the W5500 ethernet chip and the Max3485 chip for the DMX signals.
started the DMX Console project today, have only done some brainstorming and write some notes.
