    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Pete -- Again many thanks. That did the trick. Believe it or not i was getting close to that -- While showering I began to think about if it was looking for a rising edge and then sending program change I somehow needed to have it also recognize a rising edge and turn it off but was baffled by...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Thanks Pete for all your help. Last night i studied you example code and it worked beautifully. The only problem I have left to solve, is the TAB functions like a push button now. TAB down STOP ON, and TAB has to be placed back into up position and then into down position again to turn STOP...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    UPDATE!!!! Well I think i've got it even with the rehab'd TABs. Two things seemed to make it all congeal. First in the code, I increased the delay from 25 to 70 (I'm thinking the delay was really another way of the original program using debounce) maybe). At any rate, I then took another TAB...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Good good morning!!! The problem is partially solved. I have been able thanks to the wonderful advice here, to trace the problem back to the physical switch (TAB) I am trying to use. When I straightened the wiring out, and which is now much more logical, and instead of my TAB mounted on the...

    Wait!!!! I have a PS here! After re-reading PETE's post above, perhaps the wiring error might be that the wiper fin connects on the TAB to both positive and ground fins. If i removed the ground fin from the TAB so when the floating wiper when pressed would only touch the positive fin of the...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Here is a copy of the code i am attempting to execute. I got it from a HW user but for some reason I can't seem to make it do anything. I am thinking that perhaps my wiring is incorrect or the switch isn't working properly, but since i am totally ignorant as to code, perhaps my error is there...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Thank you ALL for the helpful replies. Unfortunately no success yet and I am certain my problem isn't in the wiring or the switch, but in the coding. All the examples I find seem to involve lighting up an LED or playing a specific musical note, etc. I am somehow not able to connect these...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Well here it is two years later and I'm finally just starting to put this project in motion. Got the Teensy ++ 2, managed to get it installed with Arduino and Teensyduino, and did a lot of reading regarding wiring and coding, but seem to be somewhat unsuccessful at this point. I am starting...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Thanks so much Paul. So I will set about ordering a Teensy board and look for tutorials. I should think that the "Getting Started with Arduino" would still be useful study -- I'm a few chapters in at this point anyway so will continue? Tom

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Sorry for the delay in this response to your most kind encouragement. Sometimes life interferes with fun! I do think I can do this with some learning and work. I have gotten a copy of "Getting Started with Arduino" and will be getting the beginners kit in the next week and start working thru...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Good morning and thank you all so much for your replies. I do remember inquiring about Teensy once before regarding that pedalboard, and yes, I did end up adding midi signal to it, but I ended up using a commercial midi encoder board from Roman Sowa who is located in Poland. I have been very...

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Am I perhaps posting this question in the incorrect area or perhaps even the wrong forum -- should I be on the Arduino forum rather than this one or is this topic simply not interesting? If you have an idea where I might find the advice I seek please be kind enough to point me there. Thanks, Tom

    Possibility of DIY to create midi for organ stop rail

    Hello! I am writing to inquire about the possibility of creating a system to wire 50 individual push buttons with simple on and off function to activate turning on an off individual organ stops on a Virtual Pipe Organ using a Teensy board. In essence it would be using small arcade push buttons...

    Adding Midi to a 32 note Pedalboard via Teensy?

    Hellow all - I sent the following to Paul via email and he asked that I post here so all might see his advice and perhaps garner advice/support of others interested in this same type of project. I am about to start a project to convert an Allen Princess organ pedalboard to midi signal and have...
