Building it this spring. Arduino based, touch sensitive jog-wheel, arcade buttons, and possibly a few surprises.

The only problematic part is construction of the jog-wheel, but I’m working on that.

I can hardly wait til time and funds come along :slight_smile:

Looks good nice design

3

Good luck mate.
Can’t Wait to see the work in progress

4

That almost looks quality enough to sell O.O

5

nice design - I’m ordering my Arduino brain in the next week or so as well :slight_smile:

don’t forget to share any code you’ve written! (there’s a thread on here with a load of Arduino links/info - post it in there if u can)

I doubt Ean would be very happy if I did :stuck_out_tongue:

@MiL0: Of course. I’m doing the designing/electronics, the majority of the coding will be handled by my good friend / programmer slave who’s working with me on it. He’s not a dj, so I can’t drag him on here (yet):slight_smile:

Thanks for the kind comments, I’ll update as I go along

What Arduino board are you using for your design?

8

Regards the Touch sensitive jogs … how about a hollow shaft encoder and pressure plate ?

Just an idea :slight_smile:

9

@Fraganator: A present moment, a Mega2560. I need the additional digital inputs.

@Deevey: I looked into that. The problem with encoders is that they rarely are sensitive enough. I’m looking into a solution similar to what the VCI-100 does, with a grounding finger and an optical disk.

P.S. If anyone has any expertise on constructing jog-wheels or the like, do speak up!

Thanks :slight_smile:

This. . .is. . EERIE!! :eek:

This almost looks like my design for my project Midi-Fighter. . .minus the platter control. . .

For the jogs, have you though bout purchasing Vestax jogs directly? or even purchasing a Mixtrack for their jogs, just in case for the LEDS for the jogs don’t work for the Vestax ones?

BTW. . .GREAT LOOKING CONTROLLER, Safefire!!!:sunglasses:

For the jog wheel, you could look into getting a used EKS XP 5. I’ve heard really good things about them. But never used them myself.

12

This thing looks slick. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done!

13

I know some people making jogs have used the sensor from an old ball- mouse to get very good results - also the motor of a hard drive and belt are good for jogs but not scratching

14

That first link was actually where I got my inspiration for the jog wheel.
The square-wave wheel seems the most obvious way to do it, although I do have a few extra things I’d like to try out in that booth.

Thanks a ton for the second link, that’ll be loads of help.
That guy’s controller is sick, by the way!

15

Having mockingly good fun :slight_smile:
For people wanting to photoshop their way to the controller of their dreams, post here on in the Ni Kontrol M1 thread.

I dozed off listening to Jester’s mix last night, something was on my screen when I woke up. I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to be, anyone?

LoLz, I know that design from somewhere. :wink:

18

thought so too:slight_smile:
looks like safefire agrees with my design.
now we just need Ean and NI to do so too

19

I didn’t steal it! I just, borrowed, it ^^

The main feature is the mixer, I just felt like having it go along with the effects unit paradigm, which I quite like :slight_smile:

controller looks good safefire! wheres the 2 deck(?) and mixer combo from?
