What on Earth could it be?

A back burner project is in the "analysis paralysis" phase.

Still waiting on some bibs and bobs.

What nonsense am I up to?

I guess time will tell....


:cool:

Still going for world domination I'm guessing....

SSSSSH Deddy, don't give it all away...

I wonder if this helps?

DIY Footswitch?

Give the man a Kewpie Doll!

Now for the big question, what will it (hopefully) do?

ABY? :confused:

Well I got off my corpulent backside and ducked down to Jaycar to get the bits I needed.

It is a footswitch array with a micro-controller to send commands to RiffStation to control the transport commands while my hands are occupied with a guitar.

The pedal is built.

The micro-controller assembly is in its housing.

Just fussing with the coding. To be honest it isn't that difficult but like most of us my memory ain't what it should be so relearning C++ is a bit of a strain.

Although it has reminded me of the reasons I got out of software...

:)

Once that is done I need to pretty it up a bit.

you lost me after "It is a footswitch array...." :p

How's about its a foot switch with four buttons to control RiffStation?

:D

Riffstation Controller v1.0 is together.

Well it was easier than I thought.

For those who are interested it is based on a Pro Micro micro-controller (ATMega 32U4) which sends key stroke info via the USB port to Riffstation.

I have four control switches Step Back (<<), Return to Start (|<<), Pause/Play (||/>), Step Forward (>>).

Compiled in the Arduino IDE.

If anyone wants the code, just ask and I'll post it, well I'll tidy it up, add comments and post it :)
