How do we make it happen?

Nah, start an actual wiki rather than a article on wikipedia. I doubt you’ll manage to avoid deletion on wikipedia anyway.
i did this “collage” but actually my gamepad has different connections…
the resistor is connected to the (-) → (+5v) and not the way arround… i don’t know why… but it is what it is…
my controller has about 40 LEDS and two gamepads, and all are working…
you just need to connect all of them together in a mesh…
I gave you the original drawing on your build log thread but it seems to have disappeared, that’s why I used your one. I should have checked it. I’m working away from home at the moment, I’ll post the correct one with it when I get home.
no no…
the drawing is correct…
that’s the way to do it… i’m just saying that my gamepad, for reasons that i don’t understand, works the other way around… when it comes to led, the + are the -
lol
Sorry, it’s late, I’ve had a couple of Guinness…
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?
i dind’t understand the question…
do you want the leds to light when depressed? so when you are not pressing the buttons they lighted?
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.
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.
you can make a “matrix” connecting all of the +5v and another connecting all of the (-) it reduce a lot the wiring
Dude, cut it out. This isn’t the right place to post mixes.
The description for that mix is fucking hilarious.
Did you guys ever Set up the Wiki? If not, I’ll set it up and let you guys have at it XD
was the wiki ever made?
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?
Why would you want to do that? It’d be cheaper and easier just to buy a midi brain.
