PU-2: Version 0.093 – ALPHA is ready
Phew! The hardware is now ready to be converted for Beta. This means that Beta testers will have a unit within a week or two. The hard part was the programming. I had to freeze the specifications and develop Alpha … Continue reading

Side Project: Data Stucture – Application
If you were patient enough and read through the two previous posts on this subject, you might be wondering how this applies to the PU-2 pedal board in practice. Even if you were not patient enough, here’s how the data … Continue reading

Side project: Data Stucture – continued
In a previous post, I defined a simple date structure to help in the transfer of the commands sent to/from a pedal board. In this post, I will complete the definition of the data structure and define the physical layer … Continue reading
Side Project: Defining a Data Structure
This is a very long, wordy post. It is that way because it starts with a wordy description of terms. But the goal of the post is to present a simple data structure to define timing, effects and switches that … Continue reading

PU-2: how many presets?
I’m working on the data structure for the FCB1010/PU-2. I’m wondering if there should be a set number of presets per switch or pedal. One way to implement the presets is to define a number, say 10, and decide that … Continue reading
PU-2: adding a display
The fcb1010 has a numerical display made of 3 digits. It also utilizes a series of LEDs to give more info about its current state. At best, this is an arcane way of doing things, like trying to program a … Continue reading
PU-2: PIN assigments and some testing
It’s good to have a Mega! Plenty of pins for the prototype. Some of the digital pins are hidden by the shield I made for the connectors. As far as coding goes, programming the PU-2 is easier than programming the … Continue reading

PU-2: emulating the FCB1010!
The PU-2 is now able to emulate pretty much everything a stock FCB1010 can do. I was actually able to send and receive sysex data to/from iFCB, a programming software available on the Mac. One thing that the PU-2 doesn’t … Continue reading

PU-2: New brain – Arduino Mega
The FCB1010/PU-2 has a new brain. The Arduino Mega (clone) has been connected in place of the main board. I have removed: the power transformer, the mains/120 volts plug and the on/off switch, because the PU-2 will be bus-powered. It was … Continue reading

FCB1010 – PU-2: Requirements and Wish List
I’ve identified some requirements for my second pedal board based on the Behringer FCB1010. Here’s a list for now: USB connection. This is a must, for fast and efficient programming and reprogramming. USB also makes it a lot easier to … Continue reading
