Generic modding tips.

I'll post a couple of photos of how I wired the leds when I get home on Thursday. Remember the leds will only stay on when you push the buttons. If you want to the leds to stay on after you have pressed the button once, you will need a latching type of button.

How did you connect the LEDs?

I'm hoping to make two controllers. One with a numpad mod for cue points and want the LEDs to come on when buttons are depressed. The other a more midifighter-style effects controller with knobs etc too. Both will be small-ish controllers with 4x4 grids of buttons (though second one with have knobs and/or faders).

So, how do I wire the LEDs to get them to come on when buttons are depressed? Do I need to wire each LED to the button directly, including the resistor?

well the drawing that was posted on this thread is very accurate...

keep in mind that to connect the LED you need to have a +5v supply i don't know if that numberpad has +5v, be careful to not burn the pcb

^^ it should do. All usb runs on 5 v and also @Bunford you need to replicate that circuitfor every button.

[fbonito]

you can make a "matrix" connecting all of the +5v and another connecting all of the (-) it reduce a lot the wiring

Didn't want to make a new thread but,
does anyone have a idea how to make a midi brain of the new raspberry pi computer?

[MrPopinjay]

Why would you want to do that? It'd be cheaper and easier just to buy a midi brain.
