can you make a pod foot controler out of a pc...

well yes I am sure you can. watch this space.


OK edit time.

I do want to build a foot controller for my pod 2. Its a midi device so it could be controlled by a PC of some kind. I'm keen to keep costs So parts from maplin / radio shack.

I would like to use a raspberry pi but I will struggle with drivers. There are lots of usb to midi adaptors on eBay and the same goes for USB switching adaptors. Making them run in a Linux environment is going to be a son of a bitch.  I want to avoid having a giant multi core going from the board to the PC. I could chop up an x box controller but I want a light above what ever I have selected.

I could just use a lap top and it may start out with that. Work in progress.
