DIY kinesis foot pedals

[flog]

Who doesnt want foot pedals for their kinesis? I DO! Got som cheap pedals from ebay, same ones that adafruit sells I think. Kinesis only support 3 pedals but I decided to fit all 6 I got, the future plan is to hook up a teensy to the pedals and make it a stand alone piece.
Enough talk, enjoy some pics!


Forgot to take pictures earlier on on this project.

As a tripple pedal that connects straight into the kinesis my "pedalboard" has been working really nice. But it was time to finnish the project. I now have a 6 key pedalboard, with a crude keyboard firmware running on a teensy and a companion app to remapp the pedalboard over serial.

Everyone likes pictures, so here you go:













There is still things to tweak on the firmware. But as of now I can:

• Assign a pedal with a scancode + modifiers.
• Have the current mapping in a running config.
• Store the running config to boot config(eeprom) so I dont have to map the pedals everytime I restart the computer.

Im really happy with the result. Since I'm a noob at programming it was quite an achievement for me to complete this into a working setup.
