code worked great. mine is on a atmega168 with a ft232rl breakout board right now and a 8×8 led matrix from sparkfun. it’s fun having a tiny monome haha.

Also, which LED lights did you use? I’m having a hard time decided between basics and superbrights.

Sparkfun.com has the 4×4 buttons back in stock!!! But don’t get too excited, there were five left, and I bought four of the remaining five.

I’d still REALLY LOVE to see something in that ‘hardware instructions’ section.

You could get on the waiting list to use the actual monome button boards. They are a bit smaller but have a great feel and are made extremely well. While developing, Owen was using the monome boards / button pads and I was using the Sparkfun buttons…

Sparkfun.com is currently sold out of the 4×4 led buttons… does anyone know of a different source?

@bitbutter — Owen posted the correct wiring configuration on the Monome thread and Julian (who was having the same issues as you) confirmed, there were some wiring differences, and it now WORKS. I’ll update the website with the written configuration.

@JP — As far as instructions go, perhaps we’ll do a full step by step… but mostly, its source the parts, solder everything, and upload our software.. thats pretty much it!

Hey guys, I’m super stoked that I found this blog, and that you are doing this project. This is exactly what I want to do this summer and I had a feeling I would be in way over my head without a little guidance.

I hope you still plan on posting the rest of the instructions.

Thanks, JP

Thanks Jordan that was indeed the key to the problem with the wrongly oriented buttons. Now it’s just the ‘button on’ problem that’s the sticking point.

Does the photo @ http://bricktable.wordpress.com/30/pictures/monomeconnections/ Help you out?

As you can see, as far as cross board connections go, if looking at the backside of the sparkfun boards, RIGHT TO LEFT, Led-Gnd 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 go to pins 1-8… likewise reading in the same direction across the top, SWT-GND 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 go to 9 – 16.

Reading down the left side (when facing the backside again) BLUE 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 are pins 1 – 8 and SWITCH,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 are 9 – 16.

We are using that attached breakoff pcb and (2)ribbon cables to go from these points to our shield, but you can wire it direct as well. Is this where you are having issues getting the wiring correct?
