JuanSOLO Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've never built any tupe of USB/Midi controller. I am pretty crafty and very familiar with soldering. After seeing some stuff on other forums I decided to dive in and build something.I ordered: 25 Arcade Buttons from DJTT1 Core 32 Parts and Board from SmashTV2 AIN from SmashTV2 DIN from SmashTV2 DOUT from SmashTV2 Banksticks from SmashTV40 Pots from AllElectronicsI'm having trouble with choosing buttons besides the Arcade ones.I would like 32 buttons smaller than the Arcades that light up when pressed to let me know they are active. I got a Multimec PDF catalog but there are a lot of choices and I want to make sure I get the right buttons.I am also not 100% about an LCD screen.Any specific ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am using this set up to control Ableton Live and Traktor.Here is a picture of my current set up and a picture of what I am shooting for. May be ambitious for a first build but I am paitient and determined.I eventually want to build this into one solid console as a case for easy transporting and set up.

JuanSOLO Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hey SOLO its kaleaf from the djtt forum, I think you got the wrong core and you need the regular one. also http://www.mouser.com/catalog/catalogusd/639/1589.pdf thats mouser catalog for pushbuttons tons of stuff in there look for momentary switches with solder points (lug) or surface mount if you want to put them on a pcb breadboard. I will be at a festival untill 10/19 but I would be glad to help you look for parts when I get back in a few days, I need to get more parts also. OK so I finally got my PCB's etc in the mail. Took a while. You think I got the wrong one? The core 32 from Smash TV??? I got the Core32 PCB and parts kit from here, http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/buy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nILS Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The reason kaleaf thinks it's the wrong core is that there's few/no apps for the mios32 yet. So you'll either have to code your own or wait till it happens ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanSOLO Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Quick Question, I am making a shopping list of things I will need. I pretty much understand everything except getting a power supply. Is the power supply referring to like a 9v wall plug? Or what? What is the specific purpose, how will I be using it etc???

nILS Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 A 9V wallwart will do just fine. How will you use it? Plug it in the wall? The purpose of a power supply is to, erm, supply power. Try removing the power supply from your PC and see how well it runs ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
