That looks super clean. I will be ordering one soon. :-)

Good news.

I've just released OpenDeck software v2.0. New features are:

* Ability to assign any MIDI channel to any component individually
* Ability to link multiple OpenDeck boards via DIN MIDI connectors and merge all MIDI traffic on single board
* Ability to define pulses per step for encoders

Thanks! Yeah, think my project will take a while

v2.0.2 software released. Changes:

## New features

* Ability to assign Pitch Bend message type to analog components
* Ability to assign incrementing or decrementing Program change message for buttons (every successive button press will increase or decrease program value for specified channel)
* Ability to change programs using encoders (incrementing and decrementing values depending on encoder direction)

## Improvements

* ERROR_READ is now returned during SysEx configuration to inform the user of incorrect reading if it happens instead of returning invalid value

## Fixes

* Fixed retrieval of RGB LED IDs on Arduino boards

After nearly a year of work, OpenDeck v5 is out!

https://github.com/paradajz/OpenDeck...ses/tag/v5.0.4

Highlights:

* Added official support for STM32F4 (supported MCUs are STM32F405 and STM32F407) boards
* Added official support for Nextion and Viewtech/Stone touchscreens
* Added the ability to use OpenDeck board as SysEx programmer
* Added the ability to send different velocity or control change value via buttons on each press with selectable offset
* Added the ability to perform full board backup for all presets via single command
* Added the support for firmware update via MIDI bootloader which uses SysEx messages
* Added the ability to specify custom board variant via single YAML file
* Brand new web configuration tool which brings:
* Support for all OpenDeck releases and boards
* Support for firmware update
* Support for full backup and restore
* Support for 14-bit parameters (no more MSB/LSB parameters) if the firmware supports it (supported since this release)
* Activity log shows every MIDI event sent from board by default with toggles to enable SysEx requests and responses
* Firmware update
* Column view

Very limited amount of boards is currently available on Tindie, but larger batch is coming within a month.

Here's an example of the controller which features 10" touchscreen and runs the latest OpenDeck firmware:
