hi everyone I created a Midi controller.
and hopefully this will be supported by freestyler. (the midi part already works only I hope that the devolper will add features for the LCD screen)
I made a Basic test version. you can add as many as you like, or how much midi can handle..2048 events..
its all based on a Project from the interweb "MIDIBOX" with this box you can create your own midi controller.
and the devolper made a New one and its called MB_NG and it made for dummy's as i'm one of them.
he made a Programming language that's realy easy!!! (a little programming experience would be nice)
but I made a midi controller with a LCD screen 4x40 characters with a interface made for freestyler.
its still in devolpent but here are the first impression.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kh6ae5fl59hmjb4/VIDEO0054.mp4
and to give a idea what you can do with this project.
you can add:
- 128 fader / 32 motor faders
- 2048 buttons and leds
- 128 encoders + led rings (16leds each ledring)
- 64 lcd screens (64 E lines) (this depants on the type of LCD you use)
the lcd I use 4x40 uses 2 E lines so I can add 32 4x40 lcd screens.
let me now what you think about it.
and maby features you like to see on it, as I will document everything you can do and HOW to do it.

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
Looking good spirit. I wish I could build something like that for myself, but I struggle when it comes to the maths side of electronics I still don't know how I got through my college course if I'm honest.

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
hi nathanrs93
i have never done electronics on college.
if you know how a solderiron works and how to read a electronic diagram.
you can build this..
all the hard maths/programming are allready done by a realy nice german guy..
how made a Modulair/open source system..
here you can find all the info
http://www.ucapps.de/
as i made a newest LPC17 based core..
with:
6 Digital OUT (DOUT) shift registers, for the leds
9 Digital IN (DIN) Shift register, 6 for buttons and 3 for Encoders.
and 1 MF_NG module for 5 Moter faders..
and the german guy made a realy nice Syntax to program you controll in the way you like to have it..
on the Image you see what everything is..
Red = main Chip LPC1700 serie
Orange = For LCD
Green = DOUT
Yellow = DIN
Light Blue = Motor fader module
Purple = Power supply 12V to 5V 500mA for main board / 5V to 3.3V for LPC and SD card / 12V to 5V 2A for motorfaders..
and here you can get Profasional made PCB with all the parts..

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
Oh well in that case then I might just have to have a go at building one myself lol It would be a nice little thing to do I suppose and help me out at lighting shows.

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
Oh Spirit you should not have told that.
I was just impressed by the work you have done as this is not your normal work field.

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
i dont mind still i'm impressed by my self..
as i never did a project this big with electronics..
i also burded my second PIC controller (the big one for the motorfaders)
as i also made my second PIC burner..
now i have on for ATMEL chips to create my own DMX gear..
and the second one for MICROCHIP 18F and 16F series...

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
I like the idea of a display ovre the faders so you actually can read what they are controlling.

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
yes indeed that been the hole idea. to create my own interface.
also here a new video.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/uzkjx5hz8i36wh2/VIDEO0068.mp4
i made a Frontpanel (just from paper and Cardboard to see if all the holes will be correct before i get a very pricey metal/platic one..)

Re: A hopefully supported midi idea
That is the way to do a usable midi control.
