Open MIDI and OSC controller platform for custom hardware
OpenDeck is an open-source platform for building MIDI controllers, developed by Shantea Controls in Zagreb, Croatia. It handles buttons, encoders, potentiometers and force-sensitive resistors as inputs, drives single-colour and RGB LEDs, and supports Nextion touchscreens. Controllers send USB MIDI and DIN MIDI, with BLE MIDI and OSC on selected boards, and are configured through a browser-based configurator.
One official board is sold, the OpenDeck L (RP2040, 128 digital inputs, DIN and USB MIDI, no OSC). The firmware also runs on a long list of third-party development boards, including Teensy 4.0/4.1, Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2, Adafruit Metro and several ST Nucleo and Discovery boards; OSC needs an Ethernet-capable board.
Open MIDI and OSC firmware for building custom controllers on many boards, configured from a browser with no firmware coding. Handles buttons, encoders, LEDs, pots, FSRs, displays and sensors.
