Pedal Master

A feet operated micro-keyboard design. Now, you can use digital piano/synthesizer pedals to control your keyboard!

Compatible with digital piano pedals with a 1/4" connector (example), inverted and standard. See the buildguide for more details.

Motivation

The primary use-case for this is to use pedals to hold modifier keys such as CTRL, SHIFT and ALT while operating an ordinary keyboard normally. For an in-depth explanation of the motivation behind this project, see this page.

See the blogpost for an overview of the design process.

Rev2

The latest revision of the Pedal Master is the rev2. See the buildguide. Fabrication files for the PCB and the case are available in this repository.
