Re: X32 Discussion
My best guess, is some debug / programming connector, because I think some processor (the QFP) is nearby.

Re: X32 Discussion
Given the number of pins and its location close to the mcu I'd say that this is a jtag-connector. These connectors are usually un-populated in normal production. There is probably two or three resistors missing for the jtag as well...
Re: X32 Discussion
Two things that I noticed of your pictures.
Aren't two screws missing in the top right corner of the bottom assembly?
It looks like the headphone cable is strapped together and in parallell with the power cable?

Might not be JTAG , JTAG only uses 4/5 pins and most connections have an extra 4/5 grounds so 10 pins max. Could be a JTAG + something else or just test points.

Your consoles are under warranty - if you want them to stay that way, call Behringer support If you don't have a local support option or have some other circumstances that preclude you from taking the console to official support, let them tell you how to open it and fixit - and get a record from them that they did so in case it ever becomes an issue later. And don't forget to register your X32 for your extra years of support...

Just be aware that while there are (in the US) 11 wifi "channels", all but 1, 6 and 11 overlap some. Assuming there is no wifi around you, that means you only get three really clean channels. I'm not sure how many consoles you are going to be traveling with, but three wifi points in one room on isolated channels is all you are going to reasonably get away with - if they are in the same area. If the site you are at has wifi (or some !^$@# in the crowd with his personal hotspot turned on) then you will have fewer channels to pick from. If you need multiple wifi networks on a routine basis, there are wifi access points like the Ubiquity Unifi's that can have four SSID's on one radio. You can use VLANs to isolate one console per wifi network if you still desire, but it dramatically cuts down the potential for interference for you.
Also if you are going to be using more than one AP for coverage as you talked about later in your post, Unifi makes that dramatically easier too..
If there is interest in this from you or anyone else and more details are desired, we should probably start another thread
And should you think a solution like Unifi is expensive, the 2.5GHz models can be found for $70 a piece. The Pro model which is dual radio and also has 5GHz are quite a bit more relatively speaking - they are around $240 - but the 5GHz band is far less crowded and is probably going to be worth it in the long run.
Re: S16 Full Manual ?
I saw that and was puzzled by it too. I wonder if that's just not part of their document template for quickstart guides - I don't know what else isn't covered in the quicstart??

Re: X32 Discussion
True, but the 20-pin jtag connector is standard (one of a couple of others). I don't understand why they ever settled for the 20-pin connector but it seems to originate from the ARM-mcu line.

Re: X32 Discussion
Ubiquiti has 5GHz access points for about the same price as 2.4GHz APs. If you can get all the tablet users on that band it would be much better, and your advice about multiple SSID on 1 radio (and 1 good antenna) still applies. FruitFons < v5 have only 2.4G radios.

Re: X32 Discussion
Yup, but I don't know if they will do multiple SSIDs - one wifi per console could be a useful way to keep users isolated to the relevant console given the lack of security features on the X32 right now. If multiple SSIDs/VLANs or the seamless management of multiple AP's aren't a requirement then there are lots of options out there. I just really like Unifi for the management features it provides, but if you don't need 'em then there are other solutions out there for sure.

Re: wifi
If you find more than 1, let me know. They're officially "end of life" on ubnt, and can't find a listing on either Amazon or fleabay.

Re: X32 Discussion
Went back and looked, you're right... they won't do multiple SSID.

Re: X32 Discussion
Many wifi routers can also do extended coverage by joining an existing wifi nework.
I.e. If you use the airport express you can add 5GHz to your existing wifi network and at the same time extend your coverage.

Re: X32 Discussion
That looks like a lot of pins for JTAG duty,,, they may arrange the pinout that way to interleave a ground wire with every active line in a ribbon cable so they can run faster clocks, or longer dongle cables.
or not...
Seems like unimportant minutiae to mixer users....

Re: X32 Discussion
I think this is a good idee.
5GHz is quite some higher as 2.5, how is distance coverage at that frequency compared to 2.5GHz?

Re: X32 Discussion
Which bottom assembly in which picture?
The only bits of headphone cable I can clearly identify are a single cable from the left hand headphone jack that runs underneath a PC board assembly and disappears behind a wire bundle, and a little bit of unbundled wires connecting to the right hand jack that disappears behind what I assume is the power supply.
He didn't want to give me any time to take pictures once we decided there was nothing more to do to fix the problem and it was time to button up.

Re: X32 Discussion
This may also explain why I hear slighly more digital noise from the left connector than the right one.
Looks like I followed the wrong cable in the picture. The left one runs right under the dsp-card. I don't think that is any better ;-)

Re: midi / DMX control
I saw some posts of people controlling dmx lights with osc or something like that.
But I do use Martin lightjockey and that can be controlled by midi.
What are the possibilities of outputting midi from the console. Are all button / faders sending midi or is it only the output section. (I saw cubase video only using this section...)
I understood midi can also be send over the USB remote connection?
