Travischen Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Monome x Arcade Buttons all finished! My goal for this project was to be compatible with existing Monome programs and utilize big, fun to press, arcade buttons. For Monome compatibility I'm using a custom midi->osc converter running in Max/Msp. As long as it's running, any Monome 64h program works with my matrix. Theoretically there are some bandwidth problems using midi but I haven't run into any issues with the programs I've been using. On the midibox front, I got 1 CORE, 2 DINS, and 2 DOUTS.

slumgud Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 this is so awsome!been thinking of building a monome, but I like this approach much better. would you be willing to share code and din/dout-mappings etc? also, where did you get those buttons?

tos Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Wicked. Good simple wiring. I'd like to see Edison rock out on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travischen Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 @slubgud, sure sure, here's the Max/Msp program you need running to make the midi Monome compatiblehttp://defcon6.com/shared/midi_monome_v2Credit for the original program goes to this guy; however, his only dealt with Midi in. I added functionality to convert the out to midi and send it to the controller. http://docs.monome.org/doku.php?id=app:midi_monomeI'm simply using the standard MidiIO128 mapping with the button feedback turned off. Every button is mapped to a midi note and the corresponding led is the same midi note (note number 48 up to 111). @slumgud, the buttons are genuine happ push buttons and i purchased from lizardlick:http://www.lizardlick.com/pages/pushbuttons.shtmlNote that, you pretty much can only get away with illuminating the white push buttons with a really strong LED. They sell opaque and transparent buttons but they are usually like a dollar more. I drill a small hole at the bottom of the button underneath the actual switch that fits the LED nice and snugly. Thanks all, and @ToS yes, you noticed my attempt to clean wiring! Everything is harness based. So much easier, just takes some time to plan out.
