That's nice of you to say, thank you. Front panel made from 2mm alu plate on my 3020 cnc, using a 2 flute bit and a very slow feed. SD card holder is a microsd to panel cable on a bracket, and power supply is basically a traco psu bolted to a blank eurocard. I do have some card guides for...

Hiya, haven't posted for a little while, this hobby been back-burned for a bit, but thought you'd be amused at what I'm trying to do - talking about 1980s connectivity.... Idea is for a modular eurocard sized MIDI controller, breaking out the serial ports on the teensy via a din41612 backplane...

Hiya, it doesn't seem to have one, identical looking ones ones, with the same red pcb, on ebay, eg item 392995725837, China, or 173404294539, UK although the one I used has qifei written on the underside. Not much point in sending a pic of mine in enclosure, just see a mass of wires :)...

5-24v rotary encoders Hello there - just thought I'd chip in with related note, and say that I've used a cheap (~£4) 8 channel level shifter between teensy 4.1 and the A and B outputs of the relatively cheap (~£10, although slowly creeping up in price) optical 5-24V encoders commonly found on...

Aye, have found a couple of pinouts for this family of connectors when looking around, and agree that the gnd/power pin assigments seem to be pretty ubiquitous on the top and bottom 2 pins of each row on each 32 pin column of the 96 pin connectors. The backplane boards I bought from...

Hiya - not posted for a while, been way too busy with DIY oak parquet flooring, hobbies had to take a back seat for a while. Anyways, I've decided to change the way I assemble things, having constant frustration with fragile and crappy breadboard connections as well as enclosures, so eventually...

Aye, it's only possible to redirect a parameter that the developer of the plugin has made available. They're not always well documented, and even when available can sometimes only be accessed by somewhat cryptic abbreviations. The way in which parameters are accessible is down to the DAW...

Hello there - yeah, its been a constant frustration for me, too, especially with some plugins able to transmit some midi information, but not all parameters, and precise documentation hard to find or non-existent. As above, it's really down to the plug in. As you've noticed, the most you'll...

Just a quick thought, as I've scratched my head over a similar thing in the past, when using multiple LED button switches - from the data sheet of the MCP23017, max current per pin is 25mA, but the total can't exceed 150mA out, or 125mA in. If a lot of pins on the MCP are used at the same time...

Hiya - I'd suggest maybe trying optical encoders, rather than mechanical ones. They're more expensive, 7-8 pounds or so from HK or aliexpress, and unfortunately physically larger, but I've found them much more reliable in my little projects, especially when needing to use more than one encoder...

Cubase generoc remote Hello there - Hmm, don't know if logic has an equivalent, but the cubase generic remote sends MIDI data out, if in the settings it is set to transmit as well as receive. You're quite right, though - its not default, is dependent on the vst parameters that are made...

Other source Another UK store - I live in Edinburgh, and I've bought my teensy's from here: https://www.robotshop.com/uk/ Been reliable, and they stock the teensy with pins, which hobbytronics don't seem to. Only annoyance on every one I've bought is that the sticker they put on the pinout...

ILI9341 library Hello there - I guess that's down to me. As I mentioned in post above, the main reason I used the due library was for the additional text formatting, and the simple to use fill arc functions - there are no arcs in the 9341_t3 library, or the adafruit gfx that I could see. I'm...

library issue Hmm, that's an awful lot of errors from the libraries - all those "not declared in this scope" makes me suspect a library error. I'd suggest commenting out the #includes for the libraries giving the problems, and then include them again from the sketch tab - could possibly be a...

libraries Aye, need to download them, but they're fairly well known and documented libraries - they're all available on github, I put links at the end of the pdf to the relevant pages. Can download them as zip files, no need to unpack them, just add zip file in library manager. They have...
