Hi All
First - many thanks to all Midibox contributors… I’ve learnt alot from this site!
My Midibox -
It’s a simple design with 16 buttons and 11 pots (2Ains, 2Dins) based on the old PIC board. But combined with a thinITX PC motherboard, USB soundcard and a touchscreen.
See the details at:
It’s due an update because I’ve assembled it now, so check it in a few days…

this thing looks awesome! What touchpanel are you using?
great work… it’s amazing. witch os and software do you run?
Thanks!
The touchscreen is a custom made glass panel from China. It fits over the laptop screen and has a USB interface.
It’s currently running Windows XP and Virtual DJ, but I plan to develop a skin for Mixxx - then run it with Linux.
I’ll take some pics of the assembled unit tomorrow.

where did you buy? alibaba? and is the panel capacitive?
i was planing something like this. the idea was a sample station with the ras pi!
btw…is there possibility to buy a toucscreen, too?!
:w00t:
I found the manufacturer using alibaba (olinkindustrial).
I had to have 10 panels made (!) They are 4 wire resistive.
I currently have one for sale on ebay (not sure if i’m supposed to put links here…)

The unit is now assembled, and works well. I need to do some work customizing the Virtual DJ skin.
All the buttons and pots are mapped to VDJ (using VDJ script) - the tactile buttons are a bit ‘clicky’ but feel OK in use.
I’m using the audio output from the Motherboard for driving the headphones and the level is a bit low - so may add a little headphone amp…if I can find somewhere to put it.
