Electronics Description:

At the heart of this MIDI Foot Controller lies an Esp32 microcontroller, expertly orchestrating communication between various components. It seamlessly handles user input from 10 foot switches, drives the informative OLED displays, and precisely dispatches MIDI messages to the AMPERO II STOMP, ensuring flawless control over your sonic landscapes. While currently utilizing the ESP32.

Components:

• Esp32 DoIt DevKit V1: Processes user input from foot switches and controls the OLED displays.
• Foot switches: 10 momentary switches for selecting presets, activating STOMPS, and other functions.
• OLED displays: 8 individual displays (compatible with SSD1306 library) showcase patch names, effect details, and parameter values.
• Additional components: Resistors, capacitors, and wires provide electrical connections between all components.

Schematics and wiring diagrams are included in the project files for detailed assembly instructions.
