Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 4

This is revisiting my Duppa I2C MIDI Controller this time using a Waveshare Zero format device. Part 1 - getting to know the devices and testing them out. Part 2 - adding MIDI to the LED ring and I2C encoder. Part 3 - adding normal encoder, plain potentiometer, and endless potentiometer control. Part 4 - revisits the idea with … Continue reading Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 4 →

Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display – MIDI CC Controller – Part 2

This revisits my Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display – MIDI CC Controller using my Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB with a Waveshare RP2040 to create more of a "all in one" device. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! If you … Continue reading Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display – MIDI CC Controller – Part 2 →

Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display EuroRack Module

This project uses my Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display and the Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB Design but with some slight variations that means it could be EuroRack mounted with a control voltage (CV) input. This is a DIY module only for use in my own DIY system. Do NOT use this alongside expensive modules in an … Continue reading Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display EuroRack Module →

Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB Build Guide

Here are the build notes for my Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB. This post just looks at building the PCB for standalone use. Further posts will explore other uses for this PCB: Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display EuroRack Module Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not responsible for … Continue reading Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB Build Guide →

Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB Design

This is a PCB to support one of my dual Forbidden Planet “Krell” Displays. Rather than using ready made programmable LED rings, this is using through-hole APA-106 programmable RGB LEDs. Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB Build Guide Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not responsible for any … Continue reading Forbidden Planet “Krell” Display PCB Design →

MiniDexed EuroRack PCB Build Guide

Here are the build notes for my MiniDexed EuroRack PCB Design. This is a DIY module only for use in my own DIY system. Do NOT use this alongside expensive modules in an expensive rack. It is highly likely to cause problems with your power supply and could even damage your other modules. Warning! I strongly … Continue reading MiniDexed EuroRack PCB Build Guide →

Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 3

This is a follow up post to Part 2 expanding on the code and adding in some of the alternative control options I mentioned. Part 1 - getting to know the devices and testing them out. Part 2 - adding MIDI to the LED ring and I2C encoder. Part 3 - adding normal encoder, plain potentiometer, and endless potentiometer … Continue reading Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 3 →

Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 2

This is a follow up post to Part 1 where I'm starting to look at MIDI applications and a range of control options. Part 1 - getting to know the devices and testing them out. Part 2 - adding MIDI to the LED ring and I2C encoder. Part 3 - adding normal encoder, plain potentiometer, and endless potentiometer control. … Continue reading Duppa I2C MIDI Controller – Part 2 →
