Sure! Let's break down this project, which is a MIDI controller using an Arduino Micro.
Overview
This project involves designing a USB MIDI controller using an Arduino Micro. The MIDI controller features the following:
  • A capacitive touch octave (12 keys)
  • Two rotary encoders
  • A button
  • A proximity sensor
Additionally, an OLED screen is used to display various configuration options. It can be set to any channel or Control Change (C.C.) value to modify the behavior of other instruments. The capacitive touch keys can also function as 12 drum machine pads.
Components and Their Roles Microcontroller
  • Arduino Micro (U1)
    • Handles the processing, MIDI communication, and interface with peripheral sensors and inputs.
Rotary Encoders
  • EC12D1564402 (SW3, SW4)
    • Two rotary encoders for adjusting parameters like volume, pitch, or other MIDI controls.
    • Pins: A, B, C for rotary signals, S1 and S2 for switch functions.
Capacitive Touch Keys
  • These touch keys are likely implemented using capacitive touch sensors connected to the Arduino Micro's input pins.
Proximity Sensor OLED Display
  • B08L7QW7SR (OLED1)
    • Displays configuration options and parameters.
    • Communicates with the microcontroller through I2C.
Resistors
  • Various resistors are used throughout the circuit to ensure proper functionality, signal integrity, and protection.
Capacitors
  • Capacitors like C2 are used for filtering and signal stability.
Power Management
  • The circuit includes nets for 5V and 3.3V power rails to supply various components.
  • GND nets are used to establish a common ground.
Connections
Here are some key connections:
  • OLED Display:
  • Rotary Encoder SW3:
    • A: Connect A to 7
    • C: Connect C to GND
    • B: Connect B to a net (e.g., B2)
    • S1: Connect S1 to 5(PWM)
    • S2: Connect S2 to GND
  • Proximity Sensor (VL53L1CX):
    • SCL: Connect SCL to SCL_3
    • SDA: Connect SDA to SDA_3
    • AVDD: Connect AVDD to 3.3V
Assumptions
  • The capacitive touch keys are connected to analog or digital pins on the Arduino Micro.
  • The code for handling the capacitive touch input, rotary encoder input, proximity sensor readings, and displaying on the OLED will be managed within the Arduino Micro.
  • The power distribution ensures that all components receive the required voltage levels.
Summary
The project integrates multiple input modalities (touch, rotary, proximity) and a display to create a versatile MIDI controller. The connectivity ensures sensible routes for signal and power, and the use of an Arduino Micro makes the project highly programmable and customizable.
