Craig are you playing with an Arduino yet?

[techristian]

It's a cool little controller circuit board with I/O digital and analog. They only cost $25 and could be used to make small sequencers, a lead synth or even turn your furnace on and off! It is programmed in a C like language with USB from your PC.

 

With the right software I'm sure you could make it into a cool guitar effect box!!

 

Check it out.

I don't know about Craig, but I developed a MIDI foot pedal with one and wrote some articles on the experience:

Nope, haven't worked with it...the only kind of thing I've done along those lines is programming sounds for a goodie someone developed on a FreeScale board.

 

Doesn't Jameco carry the Arduino?

Thanks for this Jeff. It will give me an idea what MIDI coding looks like.

 

This is even shorter.
