samwise Posted October 2, 2012 Report Posted October 2, 2012 Hi All First - many thanks to all Midibox contributors... I've learnt alot from this site! My Midibox - It's a simple design with 16 buttons and 11 pots (2Ains, 2Dins) based on the old PIC board. But combined with a thinITX PC motherboard, USB soundcard and a touchscreen. See the details at: www.toomuchprojex.blogspot.com It's due an update because I've assembled it now, so check it in a few days... Sam Quote

siamsworld Posted October 3, 2012 Report Posted October 3, 2012 great work.... it's amazing. witch os and software do you run? Quote
samwise Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Posted October 3, 2012 Thanks! The touchscreen is a custom made glass panel from China. It fits over the laptop screen and has a USB interface. It's currently running Windows XP and Virtual DJ, but I plan to develop a skin for Mixxx - then run it with Linux. I'll take some pics of the assembled unit tomorrow. Sam Quote
siamsworld Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 where did you buy? alibaba? and is the panel capacitive? i was planing something like this. the idea was a sample station with the ras pi! btw...is there possibility to buy a toucscreen, too?! Quote
samwise Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Posted October 5, 2012 I found the manufacturer using alibaba (olinkindustrial). I had to have 10 panels made (!) They are 4 wire resistive. I currently have one for sale on ebay (not sure if i'm supposed to put links here...) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261096647109?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 The unit is now assembled, and works well. I need to do some work customizing the Virtual DJ skin. All the buttons and pots are mapped to VDJ (using VDJ script) - the tactile buttons are a bit 'clicky' but feel OK in use. I'm using the audio output from the Motherboard for driving the headphones and the level is a bit low - so may add a little headphone amp...if I can find somewhere to put it. http://toomuchprojex.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/entangled.html Cheers S Quote
