I want to make my own MIDI Controller to use with Traktor. I want to make one with 12 rotary knobs and 14 (or 16) backlight keypads. So I want to use 2 omni boards with a Brain Jr. Is it possible to connect 2 omni boards to 1 Brain Jr. ? In an earlier post I read something about an omni shield for brain jr. but I couldn't find how to use it. And do I need 1 or 2 shields?
Thnx Jelmer.

You can easily make a 16 knob and 16 button/led midi controller using 1 Brain Jr. and 1 Omni Shield. The shield connects to all of the pin headers on the Brain jr. and adapts them to 10pin ribbon cable headers.
Follow these instructions, then instead of connecting to a brain v2, connect to brain jr!

There will be more documentation for shields and kits coming soon!
