    I'm glad, you were they guy i watched first, 3 months ago, and now I am at the prototyping stage, with all that you cover here well and done. Your concepts showed me that it is possible! Hope you keep trending!

    I am realising to make the MIDI foot controller that I want I need to learn how it works, rather than copy someone else’s build. This channel is an incredible resource.

    The main mistake, the costly as well, is to think a PCB will work fine on the first trial, even advanced electronicians make mistakes such as putting a component on the wrong side of forget a track or a layer. So carefully exam your work before sending to the manufacturer, and in case of quantities try a proto, you'll pay for it but only once, errors on quantities are paid in quantities !

    Fala Gustavo, valeu pelos vídeos! Estou montando o meu. Mas estou com problemas nas soldas dos potenciômetros. Funcionam direitinho na protoboard, mas quando vou pra solda da ruim, ou ele lê constantemente, sem controle, ou não lê nada. Tô há um tempo nessa…

    My mistake or problem is using faders. I'm using linear sliders but while running the programming the turn to logarithmic...
    Before I run the program I used normal potis and everything works great, but then the sliders I can't make them work correctly.
    Any idea why is this happening???

    • @raphanunu6912
      @raphanunu6912 День тому

      What do you mean ? The sliders have a log curve ? The curve is written in the ref. In Europe A means linear, B log, C antilog, in Japan (& China by extension) A is log B is lin, C still antilog.

    Instead of a controller, I want to create a MIDI CC to CV converter. I have a Roland AE-30 wind synth and it can send a variety of CCs. Unfortunately my Behringer Neutron can only convert MIDI pitch and after-touch to CV. I send the AE-30's breath signal as after-touch but the Roland also has motion sensors and other controls which I would like the Neutron to respond to. Do you have any suggestions?

    • @paulbergel9191
      @paulbergel9191 3 роки тому +1

      Converting CC to voltage is no problem but the limitation you’re going to hit with the arduino is that it can only shoot out 0-5V without adding a couple of op amps to scale it to 0-10V. If you need -5V to 5V you’d need to scale it with op amps and have a bipolar power supply. Still doable but just a bit more complex than building a simple midi controller. Good luck!

    Hey Gustavo, tudo certo?, estou construindo um pedal midi bem simples, 4 botões momentâneos com 4 leds pra indicar On/Off… quero controlar uma pedaleira pra ligar e desligar efeitos com CC… mas cara to 2 semanas parado no código, você poderia me ajudar a escrever esse código simples? Claro que eu poderia pagar.

    PCBs are too expensive when they are large. Use copper tape and short wires from the potentiometers or switches to the copper. Way cleaner and reliable.
