This is similar:coldcraft wrote:genius! anyone have a link to that arduino board?
So they are between the board and the Yellow/purple/green wires?There are 3 resistors underneath the arduino board to limit the base current to the transistors. The transistors are 2N3904's because that is what I had lying around.
Those are transistors.88mark wrote: On the pictures you posted, I see three things at the end of the yellow, purple, and green wire. What are these small (half)cylinder-shaped things? they seem so be soldered between the r42connection and purple cable, and between the r41 connection and yellow cable and between the green cable and the hazarai, correct?
On mine I did use three wires. The inputs on my arduino were pulled up, and I had to wires running from each arduino input to the jack and also a ground jack88mark wrote: Why are there only two wires (blue and white one) to the output jack? didn't you solder the ground to the arduino?
You could always make a standalone arduino board. On mine I bought an extra Atmel microprocessor, and made an extra board with that, a 16MHz crystal, and two capacitors. I burned the arduino bootloader into it (you can buy pre-burned chips) and loaded the code into it. So, inside my pedal I don't have an arduino board, just the arduino chip running the code.88mark wrote: Does the type of the Arduino board matter?
What do you mean by two presets? The Hazarai only supports 1 preset per mode.88mark wrote: I'm thinking of attaching four switches instead of two. Two for preset next/previous, and two for next/previous mode. in that case i'll one mode that allows me to set two "presets". Will I need two boards then?
Ah, that explains your questions to DodgyPete about the voltagesDWBH wrote:Those are transistors.88mark wrote: On the pictures you posted, I see three things at the end of the yellow, purple, and green wire.

ok, but then there needs one more cable to be soldered on the arduino.. is that just (the only one) with a voltage on it? so that (in this case) the blue and white cable give a signal to the arduino as long as the switch attached to it is pushed down? So DodgyPete connected the white and blue cable to the jack, and another one (with a certain (5?) voltage) on the third pole of the jack? comming from that red cable?DWBH wrote:On mine I did use three wires.

Right, so the cheapest one with usb support is fine to me.. but do you think those voltage-requirements will cause some issues?DWBH wrote:You could always make a standalone arduino board.

I know, but you can set the hardwareknobs on the memoryman as well, so in every mode there is a preset, and a hardware-knob-setings-modeDWBH wrote:What do you mean by two presets?

You could modify the code so that when you switch modes, the saved preset isn't recalled, and have a separate switch to recall the preset. You can't 'unrecall' the saved preset though.88mark wrote:I know, but you can set the hardwareknobs on the memoryman as well, so in every mode there is a preset, and a hardware-knob-setings-modeDWBH wrote:What do you mean by two presets?

DWBH wrote:Base of transistor for the preset switch comes from arduino. Emitter and Colector are both soldered directly to the terminals of the switch. One of them is in fact ground, but it doesn't matter which transistor pins connect where.
The emitter pins of the other transistors are soldered to the middle lug of the encoder, which is also ground.
Regarding the switches. I had to pull pins 2 and 3 up, which means that they're connected, through a 10k resistor to Vcc (5V), and switched to ground by the stomp. I don't know how dodgypete did it, but in mine they were necessary. Pulling up the input pins means that they're always seeing a HIGH potential when the switch isn't pressed. When they're not pulled high, they're picking whatever electrons are floating in the neighborhood
