|

|

The expression pedal is automatically calibrated. At startup, simply move your pedal from minimum to maximum. The values are determined accordingly, and CC messages will start being sent.
|

|
||||
Schematic coming soon
|

|

|

|
||||
## Recipe:
|
||||
Raspberry Pi Pico (loaded with MicroPython)
|
||||
¼” jack TRS socket
|
||||
5 pin DIN midi socket
|
||||
10Ω resistor
|
||||
33Ω resistor
|
||||
|
||||
Optional: breadboard, 40 pin male headers, pin cables, scotch
|
||||
|
||||
Power source:
|
||||
Either USB or 3xAA battery holder
|
||||
|
||||
Load your Pico board with the main.py
|
||||
|
||||
Customise the midi settings in the main.py file accordingly, and season to taste:
|
||||
|
||||
Here, we’re sending CC68 messages between 20 (min) and 97 (max) on Midi channel 1.
|
||||
|
||||
Upload to your board using Thonny, or your favorite IDE.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now for the stuffing:
|
||||
|
||||
### Midi port:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Midi messages are sent via UART1. Here’s where we need the resistors to protect the board and your midi device.
|
||||
|
||||
Connect a 10Ω resistor to pin 6 on the Pico (UART1 TX). T’other end of the resistor to pin 4 of your midi socket
|
||||
Connect a 33Ω resistor to pin 36 on the Pico (3V3 OUT). T’other end of the resistor to pin 5 of your midi socket
|
||||
Connect a Pico ground pin (any of 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, or 33) to pin 2 of your midi socket
|
||||
|
||||
You’re done here, next…
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Expression pedal jack:
|
||||
|
||||
The expression pedal is connected to ADC0 on the Pico.
|
||||
|
||||
Connect the jack sleeve to Pico ground pin (any or 3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28, or 33)
|
||||
Connect the jack ring to Pico pin 36 (ADC0)
|
||||
Connect the jack tip to Pico pin 31 (3V3 OUT)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Jubilations, you’re done.
