Time to experiment and get to know the Arduino Uno and what it can do.
Setting up a 4-button prototype.
I added four potentiometers using the analog inputs.
Trying out some different thickness to see how it functions.
The wires are already kind of bulky, I'll have to keep this in mind.
Using the final project buttons I experimented with spacing.
I drilled the holes in some shelving board and pushed the buttons in and started wiring.
Soldering the power and ground wires.
All wires connected to the Arduino.
Running the Arduino through a Serial to midi signal software.
This is a working model, just aesthetic finishing touches now.
Caps and bottom mounted. Plug and play ready!
