When you ask questions about a problem...

[dmitri]

When you ask questions about a problem please include as much relevant information as possible (e.g. type of pads used, settings, firmware version, MCU type and speed, crystal frequency and so on). If not sure if it is relevant or not - include it anyway.
It'll take me approximately 3 and a half months to come up with an answer to a question like "Nothing works. Why?"

A reminder again - the less information you give when asking for help with a problem, the less likely I'll be able to help.

I have a feeling I will need to make this thread sticky. Honestly, I'm not a mindreader:)

A pop-up Marquee?

Either I'm missing something or some people think I have all kinds of kits/pads/cymbals/PCs/OSs/etc, tested all possible combinations, have settings for everything, know everything in advance but because of my weirdness I decided to keep all this knowledge secret.

Don't sweat it, Dmitri.

You do a great job of not only providing this project to others, but helping them along their way. If people feel slighted by the fact that you can't help them when they aren't providing enough details, that is their concern, not yours.

I'll try to post help were I can as well but I honestly feel rather outmatched here in terms of electrical engineering.

I think you've made the terms of help rather clear, and considering you're providing the help for NOTHING in return, you're doing a fantastic job.

I agree with fuzzysnuggleduck. You do a great job! Pointing people to a topic is a great way for them to figure out a problem. I think almost everything has been asked before, but it's not always that easy to find so it helps a lot to be directed to a particular thread. It is a DIY project in case people forget, not a DIYWDHYH (do-it-yourself-with-dmitri-holding-your-hand) site. Folks should at least have a good grasp on basic electronics and midi before they tackle this project in my opinion.
