The Kontrol S1/S8 project [build log]

[DJDoubleYou]

Yes they have. On a sidenote, is this same project possible with the S4 MK3?

If I remember correctly it isn't.

If I remember correctly it isn't.

Damn. :-p

Haha hopefully soon, I think I will have some display updates soon (this weekend), but the whole virus situation is messing with my progress in unexpected ways.

I did learn on another thread here that S4 MK1's are not working anymore on the newest version of Traktor on Mac OS? It's cool that this project will be a way to "upcycle" them.

OS X is limitation (not Traktor) I think they dropped support after Sierra. (or High Sierra)

Low-quality but as promised:




Edit: BTW it looks way better than on the GIF the res is pretty high and the OLED contrast is super nice.

Oled screen is pulling data using Erik's traktor-api-client, progress bar is wrong scale here but fully working:

I'm one step closer to a working jog, I got one of the optical sensors to work today by applying power to the unknown mistery line, it only works on one unit so I think I might have blown the other optical sensors by applying a voltage that was too high.

[DJDoubleYou]

Finally got clean jog readings:

1. Turning to right w.noise
2. Turning to left w.noise
3. Zoomed in on noise
4. Fixed noise (was getting noise from SPI comms)

[DJDoubleYou]

Tempo fader is fixed. Button communication is fixed. Code fully working.

Just finished the FX section custom PCB schematic:



Will do the layout this weekend:



If anyone here has some experience with PCB design I'd love some feedback!!

Edit:
