A wireless, open-source foot controller for MIDI and HID commands, enabling hands-free control for musicians, streamers, and presenters.
PedalinoMini™ is an open-source, wireless foot controller that sends MIDI and HID (Human Interface Device) commands to computers and mobile devices. It solves the problem of needing hands-free control for music production, live streaming, and presentations by allowing users to trigger actions via footswitches and expression pedals.
Musicians performing live or in studios, streamers managing OBS scenes and audio, and presenters controlling slides or teleprompters who require reliable, customizable hands-free operation.
Developers and makers choose PedalinoMini™ for its open-source hardware design, extensive customization via a web interface, and versatile connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, DIN MIDI) that works across all major operating systems without proprietary software.

Includes switch debouncing, polarity inversion, and expression pedal response shaping, providing fine-tuned control for reliable performance in diverse scenarios.
No pre-built units are available; users must source components and assemble the hardware themselves, which adds time, cost, and technical effort.
Requires firmware upload and Wi-Fi provisioning via the web interface, which can be daunting for non-technical users, as highlighted in the First Steps documentation.
Some components are closed source, as noted in the licensing documentation, limiting full transparency and customization for open-source purists.
Reliance on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth may introduce latency in time-critical applications like live music performances, compared to wired MIDI connections.
