During our time overseas, I had the great honor to join this band, and produce their two records. It was really a great time, playing rock and roll in such a vibrant city. There were some canges in personel, but the core was really here: Al Carter on guitar and vocals Cameron Newell on Guitar, […]

December 9, 2020 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

So, I got a request I had never done- a stop/start. These functions are not well described in the library docs, but it all worked out. Here is the code. I wont bother with the build right now, as it is well described on other posts: //midi.controller to start/stop //by @the.nw.enterprise, https://thenorthwestenterprise.com/ //Library […]

A USB footswitch MIDI controller for your DAW

July 26, 2020 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

This is a little new, in that it is using the USB interface, and a Teensy board. It also compiles just fine on a Arduino Pro Micro. This sends a generic CC message to your DAW. It shows up as a class compliant MIDI controller, and you can use it for whatever. It is a […]

OK a Whammy controller

July 26, 2020 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

So, this is a simple controller for a Digi Whammy. The ones with MIDI have reasonable direct PC-message calls for presets, but NOT great increment/decrement controls.. so that is what this does. The build is straightforward, and cost maybe $20. I built i on a NANO EVERY.. but that board is a little big […]

June 12, 2020April 25, 2023 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

OK, I have published a couple of these..but I thought I would do a proper writeup again, since I have learned a lot a streamlined my methods. This is a how-to on a MIDI foot controller. It is specifically for the Eventide H9, but it can send any PC of CC messages you want, so […]

A Bluetooth controller

June 12, 2020June 16, 2020 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

https://thenorthwestenterprise.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/BTcontrol.JPG So I got a request from someone for a compact bluetooth controller to control an app called ONSONG. I don’t use that app, but the OnSong people were good enough to add me to the Beta team for testing. The app is pretty flexible and programable, so Isimply had each switch send a […]

My IDE setup

May 6, 2020May 6, 2020 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

Ok. Now that I am making more controllers for other people, I want to document how to setup my IDE environment. It is easy, and you will be able to reprogram the boards if you do it this way. FIRST, the main Arduino IDE https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software I use the windows version, from the windows store. The […]

April 21, 2020January 16, 2021 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

Ok, so I was trapped in quarantine, and thought I’d build a controller for a random person. The request was simple- 4 switches sending CC commands. Here is the plan: So, this is easy. Partslist here- total is about $40 with shipping: Main Board- Ardruino NANO EVERY […]

Simple H9 Midi controller

January 9, 2020January 16, 2021 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

I did this with parts laying around just to see if I could. It is an array of footswitches (up to 11?) that can all send a PC or CC message. I have it set up so pins 2-9 send PC messages 2-9, and pins 10-12 send CC toggles on #16, 17, and 18. I […]

“Dark Mode” on a 2017 Ford Escape

November 21, 2018November 21, 2018 cameronnewell Comment is Closed

So, I got a new car, a 2017 Ford Escape Ti. I was baffled by the behavior of the interior lights? There arre 4 bright white lights, two in the front, and two over each rear door. They come on all the time- when you open doors or unlock the thing or whatever.. and there […]
