A few quick thoughts while I wait for a script to run... There's more than one kind of 'tap', so not only do you need to figure out how hard the tap is being pushed (pressure), but also how fast it is moving and in what direction (velocity), and how long it comes into contact with the floor (traction).... And of course these need to be monitored constantly, for EG if you stomp your foot down and then flick it away, will sound different to stomping, lifting, and then flicking your foot out.... At the moment, I reckon the best (easiest) way to do this will be switches and accelerometers on the shoes.... Oh Mattias, we call them Piezo too :) (often called piezo 'buzzers' in English-speaking stores) Edit: like MRE said :)

Maybe I'm a bit daft (OK definitely ;) )but.... How do you get intricate fine lines doing that? I mean, looking at some of the CS's I've seen, it's about half a millimetre line thickness for the lettering... And there are sharp points on the ends and angles... I don't see how the above method would work.... Not to mention that carefully filling all the squares in a sheet of silk(or similar) the size of an *RU rack could take weeks! Clearly, I'm missing something.... Can anyone lend some advice?

I just wrote a big long reply and then realised I was repeating myself so I'm gonna just stick with my flow.... Yes it was harsh. And true. I tried to be nice (scroll up) but some people don't respond to that sort of thing.

Good news, my g/f is a tap dancer :) (actually I've done a few classes myself but don't tell. I'm no Fred Astaire ;) ) I will ask her all about the movements and figure out what electronics we need ....

Word has it that it's pretty much the same for DINs... Just too much noise on a line like that... I don't know if there's any advantage of a DB9 over a DIN plug though?

The military don't do heatsinks for good looks alone ;)

Noone has any clues on how to make the stencils for silkscreening then? :(

Yeh, check out the ultra simple wiring and bit banged midi. So cool. TK strikes again :)

Sorry mate... Code::Blocks and the sim have both been updated, I need to update those instructions. It's written on a sticky note on the side of this laptop, so it's not far off ;)

I will paypal you 2c for every one of the 707 sounds, if you can recite them all (I mean, tell me what the sound is, it's harmonic content, timing, etc), from memory, on the fly, at random, in the middle of a performance. That's $14.14, just waiting for you, if you can actually do it. I think you're either a) trawling or b) delusional...and if you really can do it, I think you might be autistic! ;) Dude, you don't need that many buttons. Save yourself some time and money and effort and rethink your project. Or just ignore me ;)

See those two links up the top that say uCapps and Dokuwiki? Click them! Keep clicking until you find your answer :)

Definitely possible... Have a search around the forum and wiki, you'll find all that you need...

Thanks for the extra info guys! I understand that you're a bit busy to document your findings, but if you could just make the code available, it could serve as a starting point for others... I'm not the only one working on a LED matrix at the moment :) I hope you'll record the show for us too!

You'll at least have to have the AIN module in the guitar to avoid noise between the pots and the ADC.

Sounds like a good plan :)

Yeh I was thinking they could easily get together a network of people... Send all the parts to one person in each countries' capital city, get them to make one for each state's capital, etc etc.... They could start the seeding on a larger scale by releasing autocad designs of the parts, so people could have them laser cut for a speedy first infection :)

25.00 EUR = 42.2295 AUD So apparently, AUD $25 is cheap! Yeh probably better to be safe with the cap value :) Are you planning on somehow combining the two different sensor ranges?

That's in http://document.sharpsma.com/files/GP2D120_SS_final.pdf Page 3 of the PDF, section 7-8 of the document. Actually it says 10uF or more ... So ... yeh.... D'oh. The engrish is pretty cool though, Section 7-9 Says "Don't do washing" Which means I might smell next week ;) Hey, my japanese is far from perfect!

All you need is one robot to do the assembly... get the reprap cloning batches of one of each ;) Mmmm. world takeover plot. ;D

Check this online book out for getting to know the language, it was the one that made C 'click' for me... http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/ There are examples at http://www.ucapps.de/mios_c.html , between those two and your experience, you'll be set. ....That reminds me, I have to update the documentation on the IDE (Code::Blocks)... Should be done within a few days, but you won't need a graphical debugger just yet, so you could start in notepad or something :)

What's the long story? ;) I wonder why you need access to all 707 presets in one song..... Could be a heck of a performance! Moreover I'd be impressed if anyone could remember all 707 sounds for all 707 presets! :)

That's a lot more than the recommended 10! Maybe your power supply is a bit on the noisey side? Great that you got it working though! If yuo don't mind my asking, how much did the GPD's cost you? I've seen them here for AUD$25 but I'm not sure if that's a decent price...

heya rune... Good news, if you only want to use one pot and one button, it should be possible to do some minor software customisations and you will not need an AIN* module or DIN* module - so you may only need the core :) Forgive me but I'm not sure how to go about it exactly, but there are instructions and examples to be found on the ucapps/forum/wiki sites. To customize the signals that you use, you can use the 'meta events' feature. Seeing as your application is quite simple, there is an alternative to the MB64 with meta events, if you have some C programming knowledge - you could write your own specialised application. You can find information on how to do this at the above sites too, but I would only recommend this option if you have some programming experience.
