FD-1 MIDI Foot Keyboard Controller

FD-1 is a simple MIDI Foot (organ) Keyboard Controller project, based on LPC1343 Cortex-M3 microcontroller.

The design features:

• separate keyboard and controller modules, connected using an HDMI cable (the cheapest multi-wire cable available)

• a simple control panel with a 7-segment display and a rotary encoder, allowing for changing the MIDI channel, velocity and octave shift on the fly (note: the keyboard used for the project has only a single NO contact per key, thus the keyboard can't be dynamic)

• persistent storage (in Flash) of the settings

• USB port, at the moment used for firmware flashing only, there's a plan to include MIDI-over-USB implementation later

• switching-mode voltage regulator - controller can be powered from 6-12V DC (usual 9V DC power supply recommended, as used for guitar stomp-boxes)

The project repository contains:

• hardware - schematics and PCBs
• firmware - all the C code
• datasheets - datasheets and manuals used during the development
