Smart Guitar Hero Controller

sky23h
sky23h over 5 years ago

I want to start a project changing my guitar hero controller into a stand alone music device. The goal is to have it play real sounds through a built in speaker or headphone jack, based on inputs from the 5 colored buttons and strum. It will of course have a limited number of sounds, but enough for novelty!

 

What is the best micro-controller for this project? Since I have to ask, I'm obviously not quite at the level of embedding my own yet, so perhaps a dev board with an SD card slot for the sounds? Perhaps something like the Teensy 3.5?

 

Also, is there anyone interested in collaborating in someway?

 

Any general suggestions on the project are welcome! Thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback. Standard guitar hero controller, so there are 5 main buttons, 2 aux, and 2 for the strumming switch. The guitar would play play a minimum of 13 sounds based on various button combinations…

    I have an old guitar hero controller and I've had the same idea for quite awhile now. I've never pushed through with it as other projects take more priority. I've done some planning but nothing concrete…
