Hi ! What is the accelerometer device you show us please ? It look like a thing useful to make vibrato on keyboards (device somehow not popular on the market or on diy projects).

Cool little project. I ordered one of your boards from Etsy and built one. Everything seemed to go pretty smoothly, except for a slight misstep in initially using CircuitPython 9.x (current) which generated some errors with your code - but that was quickly solved by jumping back to 8.x and now it's running perfectly. Now that I have the hardware complete I think I'm going to take a peek into the code itself and maybe hack around a bit with some changes. Thanks for creating this and publishing it so others can share in the fun!

Using the rotary encoder as a beat repeat (like a retrigger) for certain pads might be cool, hold down the snare pad and then retrigger it by turning the knob, or use it to change the note length of an arpeggiator - 1/4, 1/8, 1/6 etc. Really cool project!

@VJFranzK 2 ай бұрын

+ 1 for Beat Repeat! With an MPC type function, have the rotary choose current speed. Because it has MIDI (thanks!) you could use it with with other drum machines, like my TR6s...

This is pretty cool, I'm working on something similar (a MIDI sequencer), but am struggling to get any decent perf out of the 2040 with Python. I am using an Adafruit Feather RP2040 so it's using CircuitPython and not MicroPython, but I don't think that should make a big perf difference. Hopefully I can learn something from your source code and make some more progress.

@djbajablast5425 2 ай бұрын

Oh sweet! What are you having issues with perf wise? My biggest issue has been updating the screen... I tried realllly hard to only update the screen when necessary, and only to update a tiny area. Also - mine is using CircuitPython as well!

@fancysandwiches 2 ай бұрын

@@djbajablast5425 I've been having issues in three main areas: 1. Absolutely the screen is the number one perf killer, I want to update the screen a lot more than I can, but it's just not viable. I could live with this but it's not the only problem. 2. My project is essentially 16 rotary encoders (in a 4x4 layout) that you're meant to be twisting (or pressing) as the thing is playing. Reading the rotary encoders and reacting to their changes is also pretty time consuming. 3. Even just removing all of the rotary encoder and screen code, just getting this thing to output a sequence without drifting is hard, 60 BPM is easy, 120 BPM and then it starts struggling to stay on beat, drifting a few milliseconds consistently, but then some times for no reason it'll hit a 20ms or more delay, which really adds up. Combine this with any rotary encoder or screen code and you're drifting by tens or hundreds of milliseconds per beat very consistently. I originally wanted to get this thing to output a midi clock, but there's no way it can even come close to 24 PPQN on any reasonable BPM.

@@fancysandwiches Maaaan I feel you. I spent way too much time optimizing the screen stuff to try to deal. Multiple times I considered just getting rid of it but it's tough to do settings stuff without one. I’m kinda surprise that encoders eat up that much CPU time…. but I’ve only ever used 1 at a time. I don’t think my thing is super tight on timings either, honestly. But it’s a little more on the experimental / happy accidents side of the spectrum so it’s not a deal breaker. I had a hell of a time getting a stable clock over USB. Crazy how much worse that is compared to normal DIN MIDI in. I ended up just writing a bunch of logic to only update the BPM if it gets X amount of ticks that are within some threshold of each other for long enough. If CircuitPython supported true multithreading it might solve a bunch of this… could use one core ONLY for timing and such and do all of the input / display / etc. on the other one. I think MicroPython does, which maybe is worth checking out for you?

@djbajablast5425 2 ай бұрын

@@fancysandwiches Oh just thought of one more thing - are you metering how often you check the encoders? If not that could make a big difference. Basically only check them every like 50ms or whatever value makes sense.

Yo! it is PETG and took a lotttt of trial and error. I'll be uploading all of the STLs at some point cause I wanna make this open source. The very top is only 0.5 mm thick, with the little slits to help make it bend per button. It has little standoffs on the bottom so that it sits juuuust right above the buttons, so that it barely needs to bend to actually press them. It works surprisingly well if you can tune it just right!
