May 30th: Planning and Research

I started this project by planning what i want this device to include. What components will I need? What microcontroller do I use? How does the device communicate with my computer? I listed requirements for my idea. In the end i decided to use an ESP32 with a Serial to USB chip since that is pretty cheap and i have more experience with that. More info here: PLAN

Total time spent: 2h

June 7th: Creating a prototype

I started creating a prototype by taking an ESP32 and some sliders i had laying around and wiring them up on a breadboard.

I then created a simple test sketch to read the fader values and send them over serial. Prototype Sketch

This worked well and gave me the values of the faders.

Total time spent: 1.5h
