I’m working on The Machine documentary pretty heavily lately and so am always looking for something to help me to not go crazy. I must have clicked on some monome link recently that made me remember that I had a monome kit waiting in my closet.

I soldered it together last night and am trying to figure out how exactly to create the grid of buttons. I have a bunch of lit buttons from an old audio mixing console and I’m trying to figure out if I should replace the lamps in them (not LEDs) or try to go with what I’ve got. They look good as is, they just might burn out after a short while.

I took photos as I was going to see what kind of stop motion animation that would make. So that’s what you’re looking at.
