  1. Could I not use 2 x http://ucapps.de/mbhp_dout.html to support 64 displays? Also, a lot of links for buying modules seem to be dead?
  2. It has a fadermate motorized system installed. The control for that system is connected to my midi interface (motu). So I don't have to make anything, just want the corresponding track names to show on the OLEDS below basically. Also it's not a double photo, one has the RGB strip in the middle the other at the bottom. Thanks! Will be in touch.
  3. Thanks so much for all of the help and the hardware list, I'm just finalising the idea I have (see poorly photoshopped pictures). It doesn't all have to be 100 integrated in the sense that the RGB assignable LEDS can be midi through a different interface with an arduino or something, I the automation mode for the moving faders can be changed by the button. I haven't added rotaries to this yet. Might be easier to make a PCB like you and Henkmeid both did I, saves a lot of cabling and makes it neet and tidy, and jus easy to stuff into the space available within the armrest/space below the existing fader.compressjpeg (1).zip
  4. Thanks so much! I will get the required hardware with the flashed firmware. Oh I see haha, I didn’t see the board in the video which must be on the left. Thanks so much, I will be in touch, I appreciate the help! no matter what, I might need external power for powering all 60 displays so.
  5. Epic, thanks for sharing! As I mentioned, I'm a complete noob, so do I understand correctly when I think your controller basically works by using flashed chips which have apps installed/loaded onto them, and instead of using jumpers etc. and a separate board with I/O, you created a custom PCB with the controller chips and components all integrated into it? Thanks so much for sharing all this! Really cool stuff. Will be rewatching later.
  6. This might also be of interest to you, I just discovered this project by @henkmeid Incredibly cool (pictures in the thread on this github page) https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface/issues/164 I look forward to seeing your video, I will await the upload time. Thanks for replying again!
  7. Thanks for the reply, I will look into all this, I really have to learn more about midi box in general as I mentioned! Have you got any pictures of your rotary label system? I would love to see it! As you say, refresh rate is really not important, it's not like with automated paramaters, I just want constant tags/labels for a specific session/mix for easy recall . The rotary UI makes sense as well, allowing for easy selection. So custom labels are possible, but your system doesn't use custom naming and characters with the rotaries, so you can type in a name per track? Annoyingly, I already bought these 60 OLEDS with 6 pins, which have SCL and SDA, unlike the ones you listed.
  8. Hi people, This is my first post here, excuse my ‘noobism’. Experience & Idea I have so far built a few Midi Controllers using the Opendeck Firmware, which is incredible, using Arduinos! However, I have a project I’m undertaking which is requires me to actually build/code something from scratch, namely he creation of a midi OLED ‘Scrible strip’ for my mixing console. I ran into this forum, and thought someone here might be able to give me some good suggestions. Basically, it would be cool if people could tell me how realistic and possible the ideas below are using the Midibox environment and hardware, and what additional hardware and parts would be required. Main Hardware Issues? I will be building the oled displays into the new armrest I’m making, in combination with an Opendeck powered Nextion Touchscreen, an RGB led strip for colour grouping, as well as some other midi controllers that are built into a custom blind plate in an empty section. Managing to get track names to display on the OLED screens from Pro Tools (seeing it uses the HUI protocol), is probably very difficult, so until I figure this out, I might just create a sort of sketch which will allow me to manually upload and save projects with different track names. I’m also considering switching to Reaper, seeing the ‘industry leading’ DAW that I’m using, turns out to… be not very leading…. In fact, it’s incredibly restrictive and behind in relation to many features ….. (even though I have existing experience with it, and I acknowledge the fact that the editing/recording functions are great). However, before I get into the coding part, I need to figure out some hardware issues etc. first! From my research I discovered that using 60 OLED screens is a bit more difficult than I realised at first, however, I want one for every channel and FX return, so. I know that L2C sensors (or in this case screens) require unique bus/address names, meaning only two can be connected at once to a regular Arduino. However, the screens I bought from Aliexpress apparently also support SPI, so in case it’s easier to do using that, I could if required. Because I need I/O expansion, I also got a bunch of these multiplexers for L2C screens, but, I don’t know if I can daisy chain several of them to get up to the required 60 screen…. I also saw another solution (links can all be found down below), but it’s very expensive compared to the multiplexers I already bought for 50 cents each from Aliexpress. Main Question/Request My question is, does anyone have existing projects, pictures, resources, tips, etc., in relation to what I’m trying to do??? If you do, please leave a comment!! To emphasise, I just want to know what hardware (how many cores, what additional parts) I require to make my oleds work, the coding is another story. I realise this is most likely way too difficult, but I know someone on Fiverr who could do this for me if I can't figure it out. Also, if I have the armrest built and ready to go, the actual functionality can be figured out over a period of months/years. THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING!!! This is the hardware I have/found, maybe it doesn't even work with the midibox hardware, seeing it was all mentioned on arduino forums etc. The multiplexers I ordered: TCA9548A 1 Te 8 I2C 8-Way Multi-Channel Expansion Board I2C Module Development Board https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002119364351.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=20110529165&aff_fcid=b7cda54ed29c4fd1b3ab33cdc7b684b1-1616411560435-04776-_mNUNvCP&tt=MG&aff_fsk=_mNUNvCP&aff_platform=default&sk=_mNUNvCP&aff_trace_key=b7cda54ed29c4fd1b3ab33cdc7b684b1-1616411560435-04776-_mNUNvCP&shareId=20110529165&businessType=ProductDetail&platform=AE&terminal_id=4e01d68b78b8479dbe64fcfbc85e350f The OLEDS I have (x 60) 0.96" oled display module white 12864 LED screen 6 pin SPI IIC interface for arduino STM32 51 sd1306 driver NEW diy OLED display https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32831626321.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=20111002978&aff_fcid=baf5213ee6cd49979522f3e8e7a78b70-1616411527313-09228-_mO1fwfZ&tt=MG&aff_fsk=_mO1fwfZ&aff_platform=default&sk=_mO1fwfZ&aff_trace_key=baf5213ee6cd49979522f3e8e7a78b70-1616411527313-09228-_mO1fwfZ&shareId=20111002978&businessType=ProductDetail&platform=AE&terminal_id=57299dda1b744d10a59e2facf0e23bc0 The I/O expander I discovered which is more expensive (I saw this, but it’s a bit expensive as I would need 6/7 to connect my 60 LCD): https://www.ebay.com/itm/IO-Expander/183656868496?hash=item2ac2cd6a90:g:t3sAAOSwmvpcTPrq:rk:10:pf:0 http://www.zevendevelopment.com/
  9. I'm curious about the same thing, but think it is probably dependent on the DAW that you use. I have been using Opendeck (midi controller firmare you can flash to arduinos allowing you to create controllers without coding using a web editor), and it does led you control leds, but it depends on if the plugin/daw ouputs the information over MCU or whatever protocol. The guy behind it has made some epic DJ/Dub controllers, but I think he uses ableton. I use Pro Tools, which is a bit difficult to do anything midi related with.
