• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Wow, I'm impressed. Very nicely done, ilyasivkov! Would you mind me asking what's the total cost of this project? And how long did it take you to put it all together?

We (me and my dad) have made a pedalboard within five weeks. The cost is about $30 for a wood and the same for electronics (PIC18F4455 and 32 photointerrupters), totally $60.

@ilyasivkov: You've done a hell of a job there for $60.00. I have become a huge fan of yours. Did I see a picture where you used wood for PCB to mount PIC18F4455? Please correct me if I had mistaken. The pedalboard looks great too, you guys have great skills.
