Well, I'm completely new to this thing of the Arduino. I've heard of it for so long and now decided to go for it.
I am a web designer of profession and I code for a long time Actionscript and web languages like html and php.
After some break on my music life, I decided to get back to the dj scene, decided to go as a digital dj, for that I need a controller. In my head it came "hey, this could be an interesting project to take on arduino!"
So... here I am.
I'm still deciding the final design but I'll need knobs, faders and buttons or maybe just some kind of copy of the Native Instruments Kontrol X1. Some LEDS and a LCD would be nice also.
Can anyone tell me where to start? Which board to buy? What will I need?
That's pretty awesome sync... is there a way to talk to you by instant messaging or so?
I would like to ask you where did you get some components and how you did it... its amazing! Is that modular? I would like to do something modular also, pretty much like yours.
Also take a look at this library for midi. Although it doesn't work with arduino 0022(it works with 0018) the schematics give you a good idea on how to setup the midi input and output on your arduino. http://ruinwesen.com/mididuino
This library seems to work:
As for parts I bought all my electronics from Sparkfun (except for the arduino which I bought about a year ago). I bought the case from a Greek website and I cut it myself.
Teensy, from what I've seen and was told, its better then arduino in this case. Teensy does MIDI USB directly without passing through serial and so... better latency.
Hey there,
So... today arrived my pots. Just connected and had fun with the built in led.
Now... I want to get the variable that analogreads the value of the pot and pass it to the traktor.
Since i'm using a Teensy I can pass it directly as MIDI but... how i code this? what do I need?
I've seen some arduino tutorials to do this but all arduino tutorials do serial...
