MF3D controls remix deck trough HID protocol similar as kontrol F1.

eh? whats hid. lol im in over my head here.
Do you know much of teensy steve?

[Stewe]

HID - Human Interface Device, it's protocol which helps computer to talk with devices. Google it.

Not much, I'm more like mapping guy here but I'm sure there are some users who can share their thoughts on teensy... Although there is ton of threads already going on. Tick, tick, tick, click...

i use a teensy. I've done all the code that i need for analog, encoders and buttons... and may I say... It's pretty simple and cheap and you won't need any 3rd party software. give it a try!

Any multiplexing or is it the plain straight up connections? The 12 analogue input limitation is pretty low for me as I was aiming to make one with lots of pots for synth/effect control.

Yeh think i might just order a teensy++2 and give it a whirl. I only want to make a midifighter copy and possibl take advantage of the djtt maps. Would be cool if you could incorporate an accelerometer like the mf3d.

from what i've seen the version one is better.

i will use multiplexer chip for the analogs. for the buttons i just use a simple matrix.

To do a midifighter is pretty simple to do with teensy and a matrix. you can do that cheap.

Tell me more... im a noob
Whats a matrix?
What parts will i need?

[Joel Santos]

wire, solder, buttons and the teensy. i'm also kind of a newbie. I have some knowledge because i've been researching stuff like this for a while. http://blog.makezine.com/2008/12/04/...rix-of-elegan/ i've used that tutorial. It's pretty simple. You have a loop that checks which inputs are pressed. When it finds two pressed it knows which button was pressed.

So how is that connected to the teensy? Does anyone know if the teensy analogue outputs double up as digital?

So will it be as simple as wiring 16 buttons to its own port on the teensy and then coding and mapping?
