I'm glad, you were they guy i watched first, 3 months ago, and now I am at the prototyping stage, with all that you cover here well and done. Your concepts showed me that it is possible! Hope you keep trending!

Also good to have solder wick handy, not everything comes up with a desoldering pump.

Fala Gustavo, valeu pelos vídeos! Estou montando o meu. Mas estou com problemas nas soldas dos potenciômetros. Funcionam direitinho na protoboard, mas quando vou pra solda da ruim, ou ele lê constantemente, sem controle, ou não lê nada. Tô há um tempo nessa…

My mistake or problem is using faders. I'm using linear sliders but while running the programming the turn to logarithmic... Before I run the program I used normal potis and everything works great, but then the sliders I can't make them work correctly. Any idea why is this happening???

Hey Gustavo, tudo certo?, estou construindo um pedal midi bem simples, 4 botões momentâneos com 4 leds pra indicar On/Off… quero controlar uma pedaleira pra ligar e desligar efeitos com CC… mas cara to 2 semanas parado no código, você poderia me ajudar a escrever esse código simples? Claro que eu poderia pagar.

The mistake I've made is relying on other people to provide the code. Quite a few years ago I built a Native instruments B4 controller with a PC board inside to create a clone Hammond organ. The brain of the unit was bought from Midi Boutique at a Cost of around $160-200 can't remember it was too long ago the rest was built by me on prototype/Vero and Matrix boards. All the parts for the organ were stripped from a dead ( but undesirable Hammond Elegante organ) The Keyboards were all converted from single busbar into 8x8 matrix and the drawbars had resistors added to work at stepped pots everything was then wired with miles of wire. There were no faults it worked first time but suffered ocasional lockups which was a faulty midi input controller.Which was changed as soon as I proved it was at fault. The unit is a full sized clone and I later wanted to make a lighter smaller version but as I cannot copy the code as the seller has protected his code on the PIC device I would have to recode the whole thing myself. And thats the mistake instead of learning to do that and taking 6-8months to build the project I wanted it right away so I purchased a working midi solution and built the entire thing in a few weeks worth of evenings but i learned nothing from doing it that way. BTW Wires isn't a mistake putting them in the wrong place is.As long as you know what you are doing you can have a project wired and working long before you've drawn it up on cad. And its a lot easier to correct a wiring fault than correct the same error on a PCB that been drawn incorrectly. It's all about cable managment. which involve knowing exactly how you will wire it before you start to wire it. And that takes years of experience as a prototype wireperson to perfect. Lucky for me I've been doing that for about 40 years.

A few of those mistakes seem like the same mistake: not prototyping. Nonetheless there is some good info here.

Instead of a controller, I want to create a MIDI CC to CV converter. I have a Roland AE-30 wind synth and it can send a variety of CCs. Unfortunately my Behringer Neutron can only convert MIDI pitch and after-touch to CV. I send the AE-30's breath signal as after-touch but the Roland also has motion sensors and other controls which I would like the Neutron to respond to. Do you have any suggestions?

Converting CC to voltage is no problem but the limitation you’re going to hit with the arduino is that it can only shoot out 0-5V without adding a couple of op amps to scale it to 0-10V. If you need -5V to 5V you’d need to scale it with op amps and have a bipolar power supply. Still doable but just a bit more complex than building a simple midi controller. Good luck!
