Ready For The Weekend

Monday, 18th Jul 2011 Posted @ 08:28

Over the last weekend I completed four pieces of work:

1 - Relocated my hodgepodge 74HC595 and LED setup onto a pair of small breadboards (the original breadboard I used didnt carry +5V and GND down the whole breadboard so had loads of jumper wires) including putting the 595 into a socket.

2 - Dismantled a USB MIDI adapter, rewired it to provide power to the Arduino and wrote a small sketch to detect a button press, light an LED and send a MIDI note to a software synthesizer.

3 - Sorted out button debounce code

4 - Used GlovePIE to map a Saitek P380 dual-analog joypad to control MixMeister using MIDI

Next up - building my joypad based MIDI controller!
