O'Cello Midi Converter Mount
Description
Using a Sonuus G2M v3, Adafruit MAX9814, 9v Battery, and a small 5v circuit, I was able to use the O'Cello as a semi-reliable MIDI instrument. This was all a part of a long journey to get the O'Cello to play chiptunes. (I'm currently not expecting anyone to see this build or even consider building this considering it requires weird equipment and use of my S-Curve mod, so I'm being a little lazy with the documentation.) IMPORTANT NOTE: This build only works with my modified version of the S-Curves. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6006065 The circuit is just a 5v voltage regulator taking input from a 9v battery going into the circuit shown in the Adafruit link below (plus an LED to tell when it's on). https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-agc-electret-microphone-amplifier-max9814 Using an Android phone with FluidSynth as the midi synth. If you have questions or would like the .step file, please leave a comment or DM on this platform. I'd be thrilled to have someone take a crack at it or find a better/simpler way forward. Other parts: 2x M2 screws & washers 3x M3 screws & washers 2x M4 screws (must be 50mm) & washers Mini Breadboard The M4 screws must be 50mm as they're designed to slightly protrude from the washers and hold the mini breadboard in place. Additional Notes: I tried using two different types of piezo pickups [under the bridge and clamp-on] but the Sonuus G2M doesn't seem to notice them, even with an op-amp attached. Although, transducer pickups [the ones used for acoustic guitars, the sort of thing the G2M was designed for] do seem to work really well. The only downside is there's no room to mount one anywhere underneath the strings [tried a few, they're all too thick]. Who knows if I'll find some way to make that work...
