# Control Surface Motor Fader

Motorized fader example code for Arduino using [tttapa/Control-Surface](https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface).

Documentation: 

## Contents

- `Motor-Controller`: Arduino Uno or Nano sketch running PID controllers for up to four motorized faders with touch sensitivity. Optional serial MIDI in/output.

- `MIDI-Controller`: Arduino sketch running [Control Surface](https://github.com/tttapa/Control-Surface) code that communicates with the motor controllers over I²C and allows the faders to be controlled over (USB) MIDI.

- `Python/Tuning.py`: Python script for trying out and comparing different tuning parameters for the motor controllers.

## Installation

0. Install the Control Surface library ([installation instructions](https://tttapa.github.io/Control-Surface-doc/Doxygen/d8/da8/md_pages_Installation.html))

1. Download the .ZIP file using the green Code  button on the home page of this repository

2. Extract it to a convenient location on your computer

3. Open the Arduino IDE

4. Use Ctrl+O or use the `File > Open ...` menu

5. Browse to the `Control-Surface-Motor-Fader-master/Motor-Controller` folder you just extracted and open the `Motor-Controller.ino` file

6. Select the Arduino UNO or Nano in the `Tools > Board` menu and select the correct port

7. Use Ctrl+U to compile and upload the code to the Arduino

Similarly, you can open and upload the `MIDI-Controller` sketch to a MIDI-capable Arduino such as the Leonardo.
