  1. Hello! I'm planning the design of my future Midibox dj controller. Here I attach the scheme of it. All the circles represent encoders, except the one with a small vertical line inside, which is a potentiometer. Circles with dots inside are detented encoders. All the encoders have built-in push-button. Well, my question here is about the faders. To be precise, I'm concerned about dust. My previous experience was with one M-audio Torq Xponent, which has normal contact faders. I used it in an intimate outdoor gig in my college, it was on a sand/dust area. The result was that the next day the faders felt very bad when I used them. I tried to clean them and now they are still usable, but they will never be as smooth as once were. My original design for this project used just 12 faders and a lot more of rotary pots. So I first thought to build diy contact-less faders with some kind of optical or magnetic sensor. However, since I redefined my project and added so much faders I'm not sure if it will increase the total cost over the feasible range. So I ask you about your opinion, experience, advise, ideas....especially if some of you have tried diy contactless faders before. Every opinion will be welcome. Best regards.

    Design Stage

    Here I upload design schemes and other graphics related with the Midibox dj controller that I'm still designing.
  3. Thanks for the advice! The code will sure be welcome.
  4. Those are good news for me :) I plan to drive 100-150 leds, no need to extra hardware is nice. I will ask for your code when I get into the software stage. Thank you all.
  5. Yeah, I know what you mean, but I'm not going to care about how cameras see my midibox :) On the other hand is this (Next time I'll do my homework better!): http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=questions_and_answers#can_i_use_pwm_to_control_individual_led_brightness However, I suppose this was written with the PIC core in mind. Is this also a problem with the LPC17 core? Thank you all.
  6. Coding is not a problem. But flickering is! I thought that using a pwm frequency high enough it wouldn't be noticed. Isn't it?
  7. Thanks Bill. I plan to drive some RGB leds and get a few more colors other than red, green and blue. So a great dim resolution is not required.
  8. Hello, I'm planning to build a dj midibox controller. I'm just at design's first stage. I have this quick question which I couldn't answer looking at the web or forums. Can DOUT module provide PWM led brightness control? Or do I have to use the AOUT module instead of PWM? Best Regards.
  9. Hello this is my first post. I'm long term planning on building a dj controller. I found this Arduino compatible project Pinguino which seems that will support STM32 Cortex M3 familly microcontrollers. I thought maybe MIDIbox developers could be interested. Byeee.
