via monome.org"monome kit. pre-orders july 16. shipping late july.
specifications
* USB bus powered
* supports up to four 8×8 keypad grids, for a total of 16×16
* auxiliary ports for additional digital or analog i/o, such as knobs, joysticks, accelerometers, rotary encoders, switches, LEDs
* boot loader for easy firmware updates and customization, no external programmer needed
* open source firmware and schematics
we've designed a modular system which allows scalability and customization. the individual parts are:
* logic: hub which communicates with the computer and other connected modules. easy user firmware updates allow extended functionality.
* driver: helper electronics which light up the grid and collect keypad data. connects to the logic section with a single ribbon cable.
* grid: 8×8 keypad surface, connects to the driver board directly. customizable LED color (not included).
one driver is needed per grid. for a full 8×8, you'd need 1 logic 1 driver 1 grid. a full 8×16 would require 1 logic 2 driver 2 grid. etc.
note that a full kit still requires the user to create or source a top plate and enclosure. past users have found fantastic creative solutions for mounting these kits– don't simply resort to purchasing a prefabricated enclosure before considering your options."
