Hey guys I need to make a 8 channel audio mixer that will be wireless controlled with 2 arduinos, xbees and 8 LM1971 ICs. Well we have most of it figured out except one thing. We need 8 serial outs for the LM1971. Can the arduino do that. Mega?
Thanks all.
The standard arduino only has 1 hardware serial uart while the mega has 4 hardware serial uarts, you would have to use the softwareSerial library to increase the number of serial ports if that is what you are looking for. I'm not sure of that particular library's limitations, but a Mega might have the capability. good luck.
You could try and feed one of the serial lines through a multiplexer, then you could connect to as many mixer chips as you like.
An addressable multiplexer would work great. Thanks Grumpy. steering logic FTW.
