hey bro, it's very useful, and i have a teensy 2.0 board，can it run your code to come ture the midi function？

hi Jbenson.

it's fantastic what you did. is it possible to manage this with NRPNs and not cc controllers.
I do not do electronics and it scares me a little ... do you think that no one can bring who can do that ...
I do not even of my sight which decreases ... lo

all the best

I've been looking to build a midi foot controller for DMX lighting for the band. The behringer FCB1010 is a good product to use but I really don't want to spend $150. Did you have to do any programming on the Teensy brd?

Funny this thread popped back up, I recently finished my MIDI DMX light controller. I used the Teensy 3.2 board, a few switches and LED's. There was code already written for the board, but I learned some of it then customized it to fit my purposes.





The second pic shows what my brain must look like at times. I didn't cut the wires to length nor wrapped them up into bundles, just let them go where ever. I mounted the Teensy board then built a bus board for all the grounds. The LEDs need a resistor and since only one or two LEDs are lit at any one time, I needed only one resistor. So, one side of the buss board is for LED ground, then the resistor connects them to the the other side where all the switches are grounded.



When I was done, I put a zebrawood veneer on it. I should have veneered it before cutting all the holes, but I didn't think about it then. The two switches on the right are page switches so I can page through different groups of presets. There are three green LEDs for the pages and the switches cycle up or down through them. Then each preset switch has its own red LED. Eight preset switches and three pages gives me 24 presets.

The unit sends Note On events through USB to my laptop which runs QLC+ DMX lighting control software. The software sends DMX control through a USB to DMX controller which go out to the lights.



I've used this unit for a couple of gigs already and it worked quite well.

well done!!!
I dream of knowing how to do that. I don't know anything about it and I wonder if we can put motorized faders.

i want to do this.



I am using two behringer bcn44 coupled together for this.

[ericmusicstrasb]

I have many questions.

can we put motorized faders. if it is possible how to weld them? how to change the program so that it is NRPN and not CC midi? I don't know anything if someone can help me
