Coagula MIDI Ribbon Controller 2.0
DIY MIDI Ribbon Controller with Arduino, new version. Details on www.coagula.org.
A few months ago I published a post on how to make a MIDI Ribbon Controller with Arduino. In the meantime I had a few ideas to improve both hardware and software and also felt the need to change many parameters without having to reprogram every time Arduino. Finally I placed the controller in a case, thanks to Laura who built it. So this is version 2.0 of my MIDI Ribbon Controller, which finally becomes a much more practical tool.
NOTE: I am not an electronics expert so if you decide to implement this project I am not responsible for any damage to computers, houses, people and animals that may arise . I do not exclude that there are some errors in this article, eventually I will try to correct.
This is the componens list:
* Arduino UNO
* Spectra Symbol Ribbon sensor 50cm
* Interlink Ribbon pressure sensor 60cm
* 6 10khom resistors
* 1 220 hom resistor
* 1 megahom resistor
* 1 female MIDI DIN-5 connector
* 1 stripboard
* 1 LCD Hitachi HD44780 compatible 20×4 (but you can use a 16×2 version if you modify the code. I suggest to search on Ebay for some cheap model)
* 4 buttons
* 1 switch for the power
* wires
* breakaway headers
* 1 case
