Line 6 pedal board: Re-using the main board
I decided to take a closer look at the main board from the Line 6. Since I might be tempted to put a simple display on the pedal board, in addition to a 16 character x 2 lines display, I … Continue reading
Line 6 pedal board: Programming the expression pedals
The expression pedal board contains two analog circuits for the two pedals, a simple switch and a LED. The connector has one pin for each, plus a ground and Vcc pin. The pedals use an infrared LED and photo-transistor that … Continue reading
Line 6 pedal board: Programming the Switches and LEDs
After the midi episode, it was time to write the code to get the pedal press signals and control the LEDs for feedback. The pedal switches use what is called a resistor ladder: each switch is linked to a particular … Continue reading
Line 6 Pedal Board: USB interface, with Arduino
The Line 6 Pedal Board will now receive an Arduino to replace its main board. The goal is to attach this Arduino to a computer using midi on a USB connector. For testing purposes, I will use an Arduino Duemilanove … Continue reading
Behringer FCB1010 – Ordering parts
I have ordered the parts needed to modify the main board. I am not sure yet which method will be used for the driving of the LEDs and switches, so I have ordered sufficient parts to be able to test … Continue reading
The Behringer FCB1010 Pedal Board
I have just purchased a new Behringer FCB1010 pedal board. Why? First, it does quite a bit of what I plan to do with my Line 6 pedal board. Second, it’s cheap. I know that this is an old design, … Continue reading
The Line 6 pedal board
To accelerate the building of the actual pedalboard, I purchased a used Line 6 Pedal Board from eBay. The price was right and I didn’t care about it working or not. I wanted the metal frame and the switches. This … Continue reading
Ordering parts
Ordering parts from China is slow. Well, actually, the ordering part is quick. Go on eBay, find part, buy: 10 minutes. Wait for slow-mail: weeks… Fortunately, there is plenty to do on the projects. I just hope that the parts … Continue reading
Wine Cellar Controller – Part 1
The Wince Cellar Controller is based on the Arduino. For this particular version, I’m using an Adafruit Boarduino The boarduino is totally compatible with the Arduino, but some components have been replaced/eliminated to reduce the board size. This particular board … Continue reading
Arduino Music Controller – Part 1
The project evolves around an Arduino micro-controller. I use the Duemilanove because that’s the one i had on hand. It would work with any Arduino or Arduino-compatible board. Whatever is available and cheap. They sell for less than 30$. The … Continue reading
