In this project, I'll take you through my journey of designing and building a custom MIDI DJ controller from scratch. Combining CAD software, 3D printing, and custom microcontroller software, I'll show you how to create a fully functional device that seamlessly integrates both hardware and software—capable of controlling popular DJ software like Mixxx. This step-by-step guide offers a hands-on approach to constructing a personalized MIDI controller, making it perfect for anyone with an interest in electronics, 3D printing, or music technology. Disclaimer: Prior to this project I've never user any DJ controller!

vtx-slayer-one

ago

At the end of 2020 I started to fly quadcopters, and I got hooked! The freedome to fly how ever you want is awesome, but can also lead to damaged hardware pretty quick. My first copter was the HGLRC XJB 145 v1.2, which I destroyed a few times within the first 10 flights. RX loss has lead to a bad crash where I've broken one of its arms. This means I had to wait a few weeks for a replacement bottom plate. I also had problems with the VTX antenna after it got pulled a few times. Little did I know, as this damaged antenna destroyed a handfull of VTXs, but the worst part was the frame, which was a bit tricky to assemble. It was rather cramped, and every time you put it together something wasn't fitting 100% correct.
