Status eTap2hw project
Posted: 27 Jan 2013, 13:53
I think it's good to inform you on the present state on my echo unit:
Firstly, as there are , in hindsight of 2012 , now 'twice my age' on eTap2hw units in use all over the world! I would like to take the opportunity here to thank you all for being part in this successful 'open source' ongoing project!
Some 'key' people , like Johan and Philip, are presently working on extending the present available eTap2hw unit with some exciting developments forthcoming soon:
Hybrid solutions (Johan and Ecca) using Meazzi type of valve circuitry included fine-tuned DSP code of my eTap2hw unit as the delay core are already demonstrated in 2012 and much more developments are expected in 2013.
Also, as a first (s)milestone in 2013, the automation is now on the doorsteps for DIY'r also. There are presently 3 different approaches available based on different LCD display and button configurations.
To support those 3 possible configurations capable to be build by a DIY'r I've developed an universal input/output shield kit ( a small printed circuit board with components you need to assemble ) that fits an Arduino computer directly making it fully compatible with the following 3 different automation configurations:
- Johan's automation with a I2C LCD display and 4 buttons, the wiring between elements is minimized here.
-Johan's automation with a parallel lCD display and 4 buttons, the wiring is with additional 6 wires due to the parallel connection to the LCD display
-Phillip's LCD with integrated 5 button and potentiometers connected to the Arduino iso the eTap2hw unit making it a full integrated solution. The software used is an extension on the software designed by Johan. The wiring is minimized also.
In all configurations pre-programmed patches and programmable patches are available.
