I love bringing back the rockband style tilt sensor, i have a modified controller where a tilt sensor is soldered to the star power button, and glued to a screw i put through the back of the case, which made it adjustable, it would be cool to have a dial added to this model to adjust the tilt sensor.
I’m currently using this (and another video) as blueprint for a cardboard only version. Some of us don’t have 3D printers but there are services online! I’ve successfully recreated the body with cardboard, just waiting on the buttons and strums to come in! Thank you so much for this! Let ya know how it all turns out
I said cardboard only but I know some part (namely the small ones, are super important for durability so having those printed at least will make this budget friendly version feel goood
so far so good. switches came in so started doing wiring. Had an old half size keyboard that i ripped apart to get the motherboard out. using that over the arduino (still coming in from temu). Think I'll start posting updates on my personal blog and share once done. Cheers and thanks again! You Rock!
I have a custom 3D printed guitar from a different vendor, I think I'll need to replace the strum bar assembly with something similar to what you've designed. Great video!
I wouldn't recommend the solder job that you did, lol. Mainly just melting the plastic with the soldering iron. However, the whole project is really cool. I have a 3D printer I haven't used yet, maybe this will be the first project I try to tackle with it. Thanks for the video!
i want to do this project, could you explain a little bit more the sensor part? also if i dont want to take off the neck sould i skip some parts? this seems interesting and fun to do , would be my first 3D project
You’ll want to print this model then. The parts list also follows the non-removable neck version www.printables.com/model/479046-minicaster-mini-clone-heromidi-controller
It's a very simple circuit with a shared ground. Basically, run a ground to all the switches then run independent wires from each switch to the ProMicro. I will draw something up and put it on my printables page.
@@VladTheInhaler1 i like the implementation of your strumbar, wish i could use in a fuller size unfortunately i have no idea how to 3d model to remix something :(
Haha. As you can see I wasn’t much better when I made this. But this is a really great starter project as there aren’t any tiny parts. Learn from my mistakes here, you want to heat up the area you’re wanting to weld and then flow the solder instead of carrying solder with the iron. And use flux!
The only pins that matter are the ones for the whammy pot. You want to make sure you put the signal wire to an analog pin and the hot wire to VCC. Otherwise the configurator will be able to sort out all the buttons when you map them!
Those keys under the strum bar just keeping it centered and acting like an official controller is so clever!
Thanks! It plays much better than other 3D-printed controller designs I've found.
lmao now i can teach my 4 year old son how to hit moar notes
I could also teach my son how to spell “more” properly
@@joshgriffith6775 Let me inform you that is how it's supposed to be spelled. It's from the end of the chart for Obsidian by Exilelord...

@@anemiapwns1i immediately knew it was from the section of the song obsidian great callback!

ive legit been looking for one of these for YEARS and was going to have a friend build me one. this will be perfect.
Estaba tratando de averiguar cómo funciona el strumbar y con este video aprendí mucho sobre cómo funciona la guitarra, gracias :)

@brandonthedev that is so damn cool! I’d love to see how everything turns out!

oh yeah, for my version - I altered the sizing quite a bit, made it much less travel friendly but also feel like it fits me a bit better (under 6'0)
You're absolutely amazing! Definitely gonna make this!
Awesome, sounds like a bit showier version of the “ruler-sized” portable GH controller concept!

The Guitar looks insane
Thanks for showing a real build :). Now I feel like I could do it too.

thanks for putting together the guide
Awesome stuff!
would love one of these
wish you could sell these guitars, they are awesome!
ok lets dont kid ourselves. This is gonna be a second generation YoGabaGaba guitar. Lets just gabba it over with
maaaaaan its so scrunglyyyy
so cute :)
Nice work man
ukelele hero 🔥
super cool! do you have any intent to sell at anypoint?
Im working on my own using just the neck of an original guitar
i wonder you share the scheme to wiring the cables
It's awesome, but wouldn't be for me...to small imo. Still great though.
i want to do this project, could you explain a little bit more the sensor part? also if i dont want to take off the neck sould i skip some parts?

@@VladTheInhaler1 thanks for the answer! will print this in a few weeks
@@VladTheInhaler1 another question , what are these cables called? the ones for the switches and Arduino
i need this for my small ass hands
Is there one that looks same but the bottom part is small enough to print on prusa mini+?
The buttons that detect the strum bar returns it to the original (mid) position?
what would happen if i used low profile switches what would that look like
Low profile switches work really well.
Duuuuuuuuude how cute and awesome is that guitar!! is this compatible with xbox 360 (with rgh obviosly)???
Yes it is with the plugin inside of dashlaunch need to put the guitar on xinput obviously
It is! You can program it for any system, but it defaults as x-input which will work on the Xbox.
@@VladTheInhaler1may I ask later for some assistance? I need first to get the supplies to make my own. 😅 thank you again for posting this
@@DavidGMelo21 of course!
Skipping the exact part I was most interested in at 17:22 :(
It's a very simple circuit with a shared ground. Basically, run a ground to all the switches then run independent wires from each switch to the ProMicro. I will draw something up and put it on my printables page.
Will this print on prusa mini+
I’m 13 but small I need this
yo this is way too complicated for me (I am dumb) but I would pay you for one
any shot at making a version with a longer neck?
Kinda defeats the purpose. There are plenty of full size models out there.
@@VladTheInhaler1 i like the implementation of your strumbar, wish i could use in a fuller size unfortunately i have no idea how to 3d model to remix something :(
Do you feel any sort of latency when you use this?
Since it’s hardwired no.
i'm appallingly bad soldering or i'd be all over this
Haha. As you can see I wasn’t much better when I made this. But this is a really great starter project as there aren’t any tiny parts. Learn from my mistakes here, you want to heat up the area you’re wanting to weld and then flow the solder instead of carrying solder with the iron. And use flux!
Does it matter which numbered pins I use on the board?
The only pins that matter are the ones for the whammy pot. You want to make sure you put the signal wire to an analog pin and the hot wire to VCC. Otherwise the configurator will be able to sort out all the buttons when you map them!
@VladTheInhaler1 alrighty man! Thank you!! I have most of the stuff to make one of these just lying around, so I figured why not? 🤣
@@Freddy-BA that’s awesome! Feel free to hit me up on Printables if you have any other questions! You should also share your build when you do it 🙂
@@VladTheInhaler1 oh I will dw, I've just got to buy that arduino board and the keyboard switches
One last question, bro 😂
Does it have to be 14 gauge wire? I've got 6 rolls of 20 gauge sitting in my drawer. I need to use 🤣
Bro is playing Ukelele hero
is there a link to your printables page?
There’s one on my channel but I’ll add one to the video too!
@@VladTheInhaler1 awesome! do you by any chance have a list of parts and tools you used?
Can you make me one and ill pay for it i dont have a 3d printer or any software
Can I get a link for this

good video, but why's your voice sounds like you're about to start crying?
are you good?
can't do it on camera don't do it.
