My Arduinome is finally alive! With a little tip from Nils, I got the current firmware working. As I suspected, the firmware is broken with the current Arduino release. Using Arduino 11 solved the issue. Unfortunately I connected the columns of the matrix in reversed order, so I had to do some soldering too.

Initial tests with some Max/MSP scripts as well as Seven Up for Live are very promising. Although the keypad feels a bit flimsy, the keypresses seem to be accurate and to the point. I have not had any missed keys yet, fine! I’m very happy with it.

Now it’s time to do some practicing with Seven Up and maybe a first video on youtube.

Thanks to all the people involved in the Arduinome project. You did an awesome job!
