The Faduino is a DIY MIDI controller inspired in the Presonus Faderport. It has one motorized fader, a rotary encoder and several silicone buttons, plus two PCBs. One PCB contains all the pads, which are triggered by the silicone buttons, addressable LEDs, a multiplexer, and some other stuff. It can control natively any DAW, because it works with the MCU - or Mackie - Protocol, so it can work even in Pro Tools. With its motorized fader, rotary encoder, and LED buttons, you can change the track and the parameters in DAW get updated in the controller, moving the motorized fader, changing LEDs…

Faduino: common questions

What microcontroller does the Faduino use?

The Faduino is built around the Arduino_Pro_Micro, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Faduino PCB?

The Faduino measures 136.5 × 185 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Faduino?

92 components, from 17 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Faduino design files?

From the silveirago/Faduino repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Faduino design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with silveirago. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Faduino without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
