Midi Foot Controller DONE! *buildlog with pics*

[rudeez]

So i just got done with my midi foot controller.
Really happy with the result!
The hardware is a Saitek P480 gamepad.
3PDT buttons from ebay.
Led holders from moodysounds.se
Pots are Alps pots made in JPN.
Case is Deltron GP9 measuring 222 x 146 x 55mm
Wrapped the case in wrapping vinyl since my dayjob is at a signshop.
Printed the top decal aswell on brushed aluminium look vinyl.
On/off switch at the back.

Only thing im dissapointed with is the pots, i read that Alps brand are the best but they don't respond as good as i hoped either. They start responding from 11.30 a clock kinda. I also did wire the thing up so that the leds located with the pots were supposed do dimmer but for some reason when i had both pots running like that the pcd flipped out. After trying pretty much everything i gave up on the dimmer function and just putted lighted leds in there to not have empty holes.
Think i might change the hardware in it later for something more reliable then a gamepad pcb.

a little bit cramped for a foot pedal controller tho, especially the top-middle switch.

Looks really good. That brushed aluminium look vinyl finishes it off nice and I like the font you chose.
