In this tutorial, I show how to make an arcade-style MIDI Controller with a cigar box using the Arduino Leonardo and/or Teensy LC. It turned out great and I’m already thinking about what I can drill holes into next!.. Maybe I’ll pick up some clamps first. :D

Dope!!!! i'm going to try it

@mobypixel Год назад

Awesome! Good luck, it's a fun build.

@joesalz9963 Год назад

Is your code easily modified to support 4 x 16 channel multiplexers for a total of 64 buttons? By "buttons" I am mainly referring to keys on an acoustic instrument i am in the process of "midifying"

@mobypixel Год назад

In theory, yes it should work. But I've never worked with multiplexers. Good luck with your project!

@joesalz9963 Год назад

@@mobypixel Thanks! I will add the multiplexer piece to your code and see how it goes. Thanks for doing this video!

@joesalz9963 Год назад

@@mobypixel Quick question, in your code what does the F note with an _ signify? For example, F_(octave+2)

@mobypixel Год назад

@@joesalz9963 The F is a constant value for the note F in in the ControlSurfaces library. Adding octave+2 is just to shift that value up an octave and two semitones.

Thanks for sharing this. It looks the teensy micro USB acts as a full on midi connection for the controller without the need for a USB B port is that correct? I knew the micro port was used to script and was hoping it could be used without adding a port...

@mobypixel 2 года назад

Yes, the Teensy can send midi data from the usb micro port using the miditousb library. So I was able to use a usb to usb micro cable. Some Arduinos (uno, mega) don’t support that library. Control Surface has some useful info on picking a compatible board. github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface#supported-boards Thanks for watching!

I read that the Tennsy LC has 13 pins that can function as analog, what other pins are you using to allow so many buttons?

@mobypixel Год назад

The buttons are going to digital pins and the knobs to analog pins. 13 High Resolution Analog Inputs, 27 Digital I/O Pins. I'm using pins 0-19 with the last four being analog. I hope that helps!

@ChessmasterHex Год назад

@@mobypixel Yes that helps thank you!!!

@shamsjubayer3166 Год назад

Hey , how do i use this code with my Leonardo?? , potentiometer wont work . Can you please help me , iam using a leonardo.

@mobypixel Год назад

One wire goes to ground, one to power, and one to an Arduino analog pin. You have to use the analog pins for potentiometers. www.electroschematics.com/arduino-leonardo-pinout/ Control Surface has a potentiometer example on this page: tttapa.github.io/Control-Surface-doc/1.2.0/Doxygen/index.html

@mobypixel Год назад

Here are more details. It doesn't list Leonardo on this page for some reason. tttapa.github.io/Control-Surface-doc/Doxygen/de/de4/Control-Change-Potentiometer_8ino-example.html I'll test it out more next week.
