redKontrollers

redKontroll

custom controller with 5 rotary encoders (endless) with as many push buttons, 2 softpots and 3 touch sensors (capacitive). i use it to control my sound and video software. it is built using the absolutely brilliant avr-usb (now v-usb) from obdev and shows up like a standard HID devices. small, lightweight and just one cable (usb). plus it is very cheap to build - see parts list. the biggest cost is the encoders.

redKontroll2

another custom controller with 4 potentiometers, 1 slider, 1 light sensor, 16 pushbuttons and 1 switch. it is also built using the great v-usb (aka avr-usb) from obdev.

blackout

a device for switching four composite video signals. either pass through signals or take video from the fifth input. this fifth input is normally a black frame and thereby the device is functioning like an on/off switch for the individual four channels. but the fifth input can be any video signal.
the 4 input connectors are red, the common 5th input is yellow and the 4 outputs are black. this box is powered by a 9v ac adapter.
