Just seen Extralife has done some revisions to the Big Button =) seems good!
Anybody managed to make it work? Mine is working all except the sync in (midi works well).
I havent modded mine… or built it yet, going to do that tonight =]
Literally got it in my vice ready to go.
ill add this after ive got it running tho i bet =D
Please let me know!! I have the midi part working nicely, but the Sync in is not working at all.
well Ive built my button at least, just working on a Teensy4 Wav player today for testing =)
You can also ask the person who published the layout yourself. I once asked him a question, he was friendly and was able to help with his answer!
Hi there,
Just compiled the script form the github page,
GitHub - matthewcieplak/hexdrum-midi: A MIDI-enabled fork of the LMNC big button
I got an error when compiling it , easy to fix (I could do it) so I am putting here in case:
Move that part of the code before the MIDI_CHANNEL assignement.
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
It now compiles fine.
This looked strange — why would moving the headers before that declaration fix anything? — so I took a look at this, I get no compilation error either way.
Ho, well that’s strange.
I get the error
error: ‘byte’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘bit’?
Hm, that’s odd. byte
is defined in stddef.h
, which is included by Arduino.h
. I have Arduino 1.8.16 here; I suppose different IDEs or different versions might or might not automatically include stddef.h
. If yours doesn’t then including Arduino.h
first would indeed fix the error. But in mine it apparently is included implicitly.
