|Build Log| - DIY midi gamepad controller

If your so closed minded to suggestions why even post? Sure it looks great hopes all is well blah blah blah.

I'd say that suggesting a plastic box instead of a vintage toolbox was closed minded

W/e, I'm over this. I'm just saying there is no need to bash a suggestion. I'm just trying to help, no harm intended. Hope your midi turns out nice.

I never imagined that the box would lead to this big debate...

I've chosen the box precisely by the character, its history, I do not want a plastic thing without a soul ...

and it will be very good looking when it's finished

Archie, thanks for the sketch, I'll try to see if I can get it to work

Should go for wooden buttons and knobs

Best place to find 5v is on the incoming cable. Good luck.

great, it works great....

there's a contact on the pcb, but in the cable there is a more "clean" connection


thanks archie
