another jerk and a monome clone

[paxitron]

whats the haps.  i'm just getting into the world of making midi controllers.  i figured an fairly easy first project to work on would be to build a monome clone.  being they are pretty basic and straight forward.  i've already looked up and read all the older posts concerning monome clones and found them somewhat helpful.  i plan on buying parts from smashtv's site.  my main question, if any of you guys could help me is,  what parts would i need exactly to clone a monome.  a core module, a couple ain and din modules.  i'm a complete and utter noob.  help.  thanks.

welcome to the board!

i could tell you, but I'm not going to...  :P

think of this site like a crash course in electronics, with a custom midibox as the graduation certificate.

you need to be able to answer the question yourself if you have any hope of completeing the project!

grab a pen and paper and start drawing some diagrams, the rest will come from this site

once you have some specific questions that you just can;t figure out using the site and the search on the forums we'll be here to help

Welcome aboard man :)

I would definitely start at the top of the wiki and read my way down... Those first 4 links are a must :)

Then lots of forum searching for specifics...

Follow DavidBanner's advice, and you'll be rocking your new midibox in no time :)
