Even if you just printed a few more boards up with the SMT stuff on it with a BOM for everything else. Id be down for that.

Looks great!

Same here,this would make the controller complete,I really love mine but need a small remote on my desk.

I have some more PCBs I'd give away, no parts on there though. It really isn't that hard to do SMT soldering...

There are some things to consider:
- do people want to program their controllers themselves?
- if so, do I need to include USB interfacing on the PCB or do people have ICSP programmers....?
- what values for series resistors for LEDs? I prefer very dim LEDs for instance...
- maybe people want their own programming/functions etc.

I guess a through hole version could be done, but I'm not sure if there's enough interest for making it happen

Well..

As i know very little about the andrino and programming them..I can't answer your first two questions haha My dad is REALLY into them though so I know I could make it work no matter what.

LEDs are easy enough to change. I know i don't need ultra bright ones.

But I see your point. Like if someone wanted to add an LED display or something. I know Id just want the buttons likely and knob like yours.

Can't you use a constant-current source for the LEDs and set the value you prefer?

Incorporate a front panel LDR and you can have the LEDs set their brightness automatically according to the ambient light...

Did you know that railway signals have a day / night switch in the signal box? They are dimmer at night as there is more contract due to lack of ambient light

I am so very interested in this .
I am more of a noob in the electrical engineering and programming department but this controller would solve so many things for me and it looks super cool. Im really hoping for a PCB in the future, SMD or through hole, I would give it a shot. I would be totally lost on any  programing needed though..

Keeping a eye on this thread!
You guys consistently amaze me.

I'm also very interested in this project! This would make the monitor controller complete.

Pleeeease somebody make this available somehow! Maybe Soundskulptor could even add this to their site.

Same here!

[Rocinante]

The controller that you make does it send commands to the mc-624 for which execute them or is it executing the commands as well? For example;  if I were to select input 1 to output 4 would it command pins to relays to do that or is it just sending a command to the MC 624 micro-controller?
In other words could it be used as a brain for someone to make their own monitor controller?

[buckethead]

It sends commands over RS-485 to the MC624's controller - it has no interfaceing for relays etc.

Did this ever end up anywhere? Very interested!
