    Default new diy home-made controller

    hello all,

    i'm starting to work on my new diy home-made controller, i'll be using two gamepads and a exterior sound usb board for input and phones

    i'll have 33 buttons and 8 faders, i'm thinking of installing led for each of the buttons/leds

    now the trick question, i'll have a usb hub to connect everything, do you think that the hub will have energy for all of those components?

    and if the hub is powered?

    should i loose that high number of leds?

    thanking you in advance
    fbonito

    ps. sorry for my bad english...

    I used 22 LEDs on one gamepad-PCB... worked fine
    Why buy something, when you can build it yourself for the double cost?

    USB soundcard connects directly to computer.
    The rest to the powered USB-hub.. no problem.
