Hello,
I got a old Sony RM-450 editing control and moding it to USB,
I wired the keys to a old keyboard and use Quick Macros to remap the keys, Works good.
I need help with the two Shuttle/Jug controls. I’m going use a arduino uno but never used one before.
I traced out the circuit
The Optical Sensors are sharp GP1L52
J2 is a NEC uPC339 low power quad comparator pin 13 is pin 1 on the IC
J1 is the wires off board.
Q2 and Q4 are for the indexing wheel
When in shuttle mode the wheel turns shy of 180 degrees each way and spring returns, A finger goes in front Q3 in the home position
When in Jog mode a finger goes in front Q1 and the wheel can spin freely, Q3 stays blocked
So I think the program should go something like this.
When Q1 in blocked go into jog mode
When Q2 is blocked and Q4 is clear, send keyboard simulator “ctrl, left arrow”
When Q4 is blocked and Q2 is clear, send keyboard simulator “ctrl, right arrow”
When Q1 in clear go into shuttle mode
When Q2 is blocked and Q4 is clear, send keyboard simulator “left arrow”, loop a percent faster each cycle
When Q4 is blocked and Q2 is clear, send keyboard simulator “left arrow”, loop a percent slower each cycle
When Q3 is blocked stop/reset
When Q4 is blocked and Q2 is clear, send keyboard simulator “right arrow”, loop a percent faster each cycle
When Q2 is blocked and Q4 is clear, send keyboard simulator “right arrow”, loop a percent slower each cycle
When Q3 is blocked stop/reset
I don't know
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best of days
