DIY 16 Button midi foot switch.

[S2]

Good for you, mate.

I began my Arduino journey during lockdown, and never looked back. Now every time the band needs a digital solution all eyes turn to me! Some of my inventions have been overtaken by other technology, but it was good to learn this stuff. I'm now self-sufficient in MIDI/USB controllers!

It's well worth getting stuck into projects like this. It opens doors. Now I'm turning my attention to 'Smart Home' technology, and so far the results are well worth the effort.

I'll do some searching and see what I can find. It can't be too hard - I only need one button. So at a basic level, just a midi program change message with another one on the second press. An LED to show if it's on or off would be good too.

I'm sure there is no need to reinvent the wheel, this sort of code, or similar, must have been written before.

I see eBay has a 4 button footswitch midi controller from several sellers for as little as £27. Might be worth a punt at that price....

But... but.. Where's the fun in that?

Until you have soldered and laboured into the wee small hours, night after night, then finally got to the point where you are at the point of completion and you plug the thing in only to see a puff of smoke, a racket of sparks and then it goes into an end of life spasm, and you're left with just a puddle of melt, you'll never know

Microsoft paid you to write that, didn't they
