I just ordered 5 of these:
I’ve never ordered custom PCB’s before in my life, so this awesome and terrifying all at the same time. So hopefully, in a few weeks I’ll get my boards and I’ll be able to put one together, test it out, have everything work out just fine, and then I can work on laser cutting the panel and enclosure… and bask in the glow of a successful venture into horrifyingly unknown territory. Cross your fingers!
Ambitious doesn't even begin to describe this. I'm using *EVERY I/O PIN* on the an *ARDUINO MEGA*
31 LED tact buttons, eight 45mm sliders, 2 knobs, and an LCD screen. Updates to this version are “mode” buttons for voice select buttons, sliders, and knobs, the play button has moved next to the step buttons, there will be an LCD, the overall button sizes has been reduced from 1/2″ to 3/8″, and lastly.. no wires and no external harness for the arduino mega… it just plugs directly into the PCB like a oversized mutant shield.
the waiting… arrrgh…
