Drop me a line when you find it... I'll hack it.
Honestly, things have to into production in the thousands to drop below $1 per inch just for the pcb, not to mention the LEDs, mechanical buttons, and multiplexing chips. Until there's a "real world" application for 64 buttons, this s probably the most mass produced it's getting.

i'm gonna have to make these at some point.

GPL'd with build instructions.

A final test video with 4 ADCs, source code, and pre-purchase info for a kit version is available here:

Now back to the usb YM synth!

enjoy!

That's true. The Monome is just an empty programmable controller. The Apps and things you can do with it run on your PC/OSX box/ Linux box.

That said, the software is all open & free with very few exceptions. I'll be using it as a visuals controller eventually.

I should have said what I meant a bit better..if this mod essentially turns the bliptronic into a monome then is epic wins smile

Also; Tutorial when it's finished plox heart

My buddy Tim Kaiser is giving me his bleeptronic, i might have to do this to mine.

Yup. I'm running 3 of them in the video sample there . nerdscroll, soyuz sequencer, and a midi-controller test patch.

Here's the first full test video and blog info:

Software to be posted after a few minor changes.
Can't wait to get this running the usb YM chipsynth!

got some more work done on the bliptronic...
Here's some video...

LEDs are all addressable from the Arduino, and there will definitely be room for 3 potentiometers.
Samuel Hurst is already porting the Arduinome code, and posted it on my site:
www.straytechnologies.com/forum/

If anyone can help sort out the buttons, it'd be a great help. Diode matrix with no pull-down resistors.. I'm at a loss at how this works for the Bliptronic's original software. All the button lines are floating & very noisy.

Should have it sorted out in a couple more weeks.

I've done a few Arduino projects in the past, but the Arduinome has always looked well outside my comfort zone given the expense of getting all the materials together. This looks like a solution that could be both simpler to assemble and cheaper. Looking forward to seeing more!
