Trying to build a one button looper using the rpi gpio

Hi @jesta and welcome to zynthianland. What you want to do sounds like something that zynthian should be able to do. You describe setting it all up but not what your problem is. I think you say that you want some advice on wiring a button, configuring it to perform an action and assigning that action to one-button-control of sooperlooper. Is this right?

See the wiki for info on adding extra buttons.

Look at this thread for a discussion on using SooperLooper and this thread on foot control.

  • Adding a hardware button - connect a switch between a GPIO pin and GND.
  • Configure the button - in webconf, HARDWARE->Wiring, add you GPI to the config - I don’t know how you have configured this bit or what hardware you have so cannot advise. You need to give more info about your build.
  • Configure the button action - in webconf, HARDWARE->Wiring, (ensure Advanced View is enabled) configure the switch (short) action to “Zyn CC”.

This is where it breaks down! The button doesn’t seem to work properly as a CC message. We may need to drill in further here.
