A gamepad would definitely be LESS precise as each potentiometer will map data between 0 and 255. But i've never found this to be a problem. <br><br>Pierre<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/6/8 Pierre Massat <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pimassat@gmail.com">pimassat@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Hi Pierre<br>could you provide more details on how you built your pedal? Could'nt the gamepad be replaced with an Arduino?<br>Thanks,<br>Cyrill<br><br>--- En date de : <b>Mar 8.6.10, Pierre Massat <i><<a href="mailto:pimassat@gmail.com" target="_blank">pimassat@gmail.com</a>></i></b> a écrit :<br>

There are two problems arising when attempting to built a USB pedal : first you need to actually make the pedal (the traditional cry baby
design is probably the easiest way to go), then you need to connect it to a good usb gamepad. I insist on the "good" here because it is essential if you want to have a decent expression pedal. The best would be to test the gamepad before buying it and turning it into a pedal.<br>

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="font: inherit;" valign="top">Hi Pierre<br>and thanx for your answer.<br>I am looking for an expression foot controller. Something working somehow like a wah-wah pedal. But I am unsure if I need a device with an OSC dedicated driver, or if any USB pedal would do the job. What I primarily expect from this device is accuracy, and low-latency. <br>
Do you have any examples (photographs, audio samples) of the device you made? I am curious!<br>Achim<br><br>--- En date de : <b>Dim 6.6.10, Pierre Massat <i><<a rel="nofollow" href="http://mc/compose?to=pimassat@gmail.com" target="_blank">pimassat@gmail.com</a>></i></b> a écrit :<br>

Hi listees<br>I'm looking for a pedal controller that is accurate enough to send OSC messages to pd, in order to control some effect patches for my guitar.<br>Can anyone help me in finding a good one, maybe providing a perqsonal experience feedback?<br>
