| Glad you changed your mind. About "limits": As u/moistbar also pointed out, the number of pins of the Broadcom CPU, and of the STM32 microcontroller, would provide a constraint. If more positions was important, I could easily have put a bunch of IO-expanders or multiplexers. However, the board was designed with compactness as a priority -- "pocket"-sized and all that -- so as to be portable and flexibly deployable. The solution for "space" is quite fun: You can chain multiple Pockit boards side by side, through the same style of Bridge-connector that allows expansion to the Display Block in the linked video here. With this, a huge (but not unlimited) workspace is possible. Frankly, aside from the most spatially demanding application I've tested (a synth/looper setup), I've never needed more than 3 chained together. > 5 HDMI output blocks
I didn't see the need for something like this. There are obviously compromises in every design, and I suppose this is one of them, if you think it's actually valuable. Though an HDMI splitter block would technically solve this issue too. |
