Hacking the on-board Arduino to add buttons that send midi notes

DIY

Just checking the github and not much has been posted yet on uploading and changing the Arduino code. Any suggestions where I could start ?

I’m looking forward to adding some buttons to my board that send midi notes based on which button is pressed.

Thanks!

Hi @Lou,

i am a bit behind with updating the github with the software package. I will try todo this the next days.
You want the buttons to trigger the solenoids or just work as midi controller?

Cool! thats great to hear. I want to be able to assign buttons to the trigger outputs, so that different buttons trigger different solenoids on the board.

@Lou I have updated / uploaded the latest version of the software & Arduino Board Support Package. You can find everything here: https://github.com/dadamachines/automat

Please follow the steps here: https://github.com/dadamachines/automat/tree/master/software/arduino to install the Arduino Board Support Package, this will allow you to change the official software and add Buttons, Sensors, Custom Actuators…

Let me know if you have questions.
