A small board along similar lines to the Macetech ShiftBrite using a three-channel 10bit PWM shift register to power a small RGB LED which slips between the micro-switch and the button barrel of the translucent arcade buttons used in the axe.io design.
Boards can be daisy-chained to provide for a potentially large number of LEDs to be controlled, although each additional button uses another input on the Thinkinator board.
The board also provides a three-pin header to connect to the button microswitch and Thinkinator board for reading button state including a 10kΩ pull-down resistor.
The latest version of the schematic and board files are always available in the github repository.
8 button foot control ideal for live or studio use with 3 button DAW recording control, next and previous patch as well as three assignable buttons.
2 button, ultra portable foot controller ideal for live performances with next and previous patch buttons.
Bare-minimum Arduino-style board which is the brains of the operation.
A small board along the same lines as the Macetech ShiftBrite used to drive button illumination and read button state.
