WOW @SrMouraSilva 
that is way too cheap!
@James yeah…I would say that a lot was saved on certifications, licensing of Bluetooth device, etc. 
Anyway…nothing agains that. We will probably just not see a lot of them.

Hej @Ant, another option would be a diy midi controller. Granted you have to have a few tools - and 3D Printer helps but you really just need a few footswitches, some kind of SparkFun Pro Micro (clone) and a case.
I’ve had the same Problem but wanted to keep the size to minimum. I’ll also had to add a Relay for switching channels of my Amp. This is the prototype board i giged with.

Looks really cool!
I’m curious to see and listen when you get that setup ready

A note: The 17 euros is related to other thing. When you enter on the page, you need select the equipment. See that the price is twice (but also cheap).
Note 2: I couldn’t find the equipment’s website. I’m not promoting with that link.

Hey, did you use the Mod shield? If not, what did you use to communicate your controller with the Dwarf?

No, I didn‘t use the modshield. The Pro Micro is basically an Arduino Leonardo Mini. They are USB-MIDI class compliant. You just hook it up to the usb port. The code needed for the controller is pretty straight forward.

Sounds like a better solution than “hacking the Dwarf”

Still cheap to cover all certifications and licences. Funny that this clearly uses BLE MIDI, but they don’t use the Bluetooth logo anywhere - what is a requirement. Most likely they don’t have the license.

Cool controller Spunk, going to go down the arduino road too instead of control chain.
Did you write your own code or did you modify one. I normally use Notes and Volts for my stuff.
Love the fact the enclosure pretty much matches the dwarf - is it a hammond ?

Can be connected to Dwarf via USB cable to send midi signals?
thanks. I’ve adopted heavily from 8 button USB MIDI footswitch by vrmmm - Thingiverse
and https://github.com/tttapa/MIDI_controller. With some custom code for the relay and my amp.
The enclosure I designed and printed myself. The measurements match the dwarf exactly.

You can even connect it via Bluetooth with something like WIDI from CME. (again…I have one, don’t love it, but it works ok…yet I question a few design choices)
Yep but i prefer MIDI over wired USB. It seems that it’s possible anyway.
I guess the pedal also has USB MIDI. But maybe when @SrMouraSilva receives it he can give us some more feedback

Just ordered one too. The latency might be an issue but worth exploring. Will probably turn up same time as my dwarf. Will post findings when I can.

Cheers for the pointers - never even thought about printing an enclosure.
Best get planning

I use/work a lot with Bluetooth MIDI and quite honestly the latency was NEVER an issue. In some cases, I even had bigger latency with cheap MIDI USB/DIN interfaces.

well we will find out in new year hopefully but that is great news not worked with BT Midi before
