I'm finally building one of my dream projects: an Arduino-powered MIDI controller created in the image of a DJ Tech Tools MIDI Fighter. I'm using mini LED arcade buttons along with a Sparkfun Pro Micro as the main hardware for the build.

In Part 1, I go over the thoughts behind the build, the electronics and the code. In Part 2, I'll go over building a final housing and soldering the electronics to a circuit board.
