Guys just a quick update. Now that MCL V2 has settled I am able to devote some time to
resurrecting the MiniCommand hardware.
The new version will be called the MegaCommand based on the Arduino Mega2560 (or compatible boards).
It will be a DIY version, with a part list and build instructions. My guess is that cost will be no more than $150 USD in parts.
This weekend I’ve started looking at porting the MidiCTRL framework over to the the Arduino IDE environment for the Arduino Mega.
The MegaCommand will not support the R&W boot loader and instead will use the built in Arduino USB boot loader.
I’ve got all the necessary components on order, including a case.
As I mentioned earlier, most of the components can be purchased in pre-manufactured arduino shields. The trickiest bit will soldering up the I/O board. Which should be manageable for anyone with basic circuit and soldering skills.
All the parts will arrive next week. I’ll start piecing together the hardware in addition to porting the framework over.
