GPIO Potentiometer control?

Would it be possible to wire up some pots between Vs GND and an analogue pin in order to give me some analogue controls on my SamplerBox? That way I could put the SamplerBox on my Guitar pedalboard and add a foot pedal so I could do things like building up the volume or perhaps bend the pitch or something, all in software, without buying a new pedal and adding it into the signal chain. Is this possible?

Hi Deep,

Two facts:

  • Raspberry doesn't have an analogue pin
  • Original samplerbox doesn't support pitchbend (or wah-pedal, or you name it)

So you're actually asking for two unsupported things in one question :-)

You can consider the fork at homspace-dot-nl/samplerbox because it does support pitchbend and other pedal driven continuous changes (replace "-dot-" with ".".
Still you need either a pedal sending midi messages (like the good-old Behringer FCB1010) or have arduino/esp/Pico/whatever intermediate for translating the analogue pedal signal into midi control messages. I think this is your main challenge.
