This is the first audio demo of my AEclidian beatdivider I'm building to extend my case. The eagle-eyed may notice the use of the no input polamix module as makeshift potmeter input for the arduino.
Enjoy.

Cool stuff, nice work!! You have a resource or did you code/design everything from scratch?
My Topograph has the euclidian mode, but it would be awesome to have something smaller/cheaper Arduino based to generate euclidian stuff 😁

I designed and wrote the code from scratch, I'm definitely more comfortable with code than with electronics, but arduino electronics is overall quite straightforward.

I really love this! It would be great to see a rough "what's going on here..." video, if you get time.  |

I started the process to make a permanent version of the AEclidian using one of robertlanger 's diy modules:
Step 1: solder bridges and pull down resistors:
Step 2: solder more bridges
Step3: you guessed it ; solder more bridges and diodes to protect outputs. Hurray for magnifying glasses.
Step 4: put the arduino in place

Time to fix the controller board:
Make sure to install the frontpanel with the spacers BEFORE you solder the switches and the leds in place, so they align nice and flush with the front panel.
Now it time to 15 double check all the connections and make sure there are no shorts between Vcc and ground.
Once everything is soldered correctly it's time for the first tests with usb power and share common ground with the modular, a breadboard comes handy to make that connection if you have no spare bus cable lying around or a female/male patch-cable.
This is the time to bug fix the arduino code a couple of times and make sure not to brick its bootloader again.  Believe me it's a pain in the neck to unbrick, I posted a thread here with a link to a how-to.
Once everything seems to work fine, it is time to put the fully assembled module in the modular system, for some extra testing.
And now I have to think about what to put on the front panel, and how to make it look pretty.
And that's how you build a 3 track Euclidian (plus one weighed random latch track), trigger sequencer in one unit module. Each track has two outputs, the euclidian tracks are also triggering the leds.

Here is a (badly synced) video of the built-in module demonstrating the 3 separate rhytmic tracks triggering 3 voices and the random track triggering envelope controlling the grains audio.

Looking great, so clean!!!! I would 100% buy a 1U AEclidean module, would be a perfect fit for my live techno-oriented stuff. I do have an AliExpress arduino laying around, but still have to my first project with it (haven't even done a blinky light yet  ) |

It is definitely an excellent platform for making more complex modules for the AEmodular. I would advice to first hone your coding skills on an arduino uno or something similar; there is less change of messing up your bootloader with buggy code than when coding for the arduino pro micro. The micro however has a small enough footprint to be used in 1U modules. I will also look into teensy modules since they seem to be a bit more powerful/advanced on the interface level than arduinos.
