You can turn an old Guitar Hero accessory into a USB MIDI controller for your synthesizer! Wii accessories use I2C to send all of their data, so we’ll couple the Guitar Hero controller with a STEMMA QT Nunchuck Breakout and a QT Py to read all fret buttons, whammy bar, strum bar, and joystick data.
You’ll be able to send MIDI notes, chords, octave changes, whammy bar pitch bends, and joystick CC messages to any software synth, or USB MIDI host-capable synthesizer.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
