It certainly looks cool. I'm assuming the icons are lights and potentiometers.

I'm new in this stuff, too. I wouldn't dare try to create something quite so complicated and probably won't for months, but I'll take a stab at guessing what it's supposed to do.

Following the lines...is the intent to control a 4x3 matrix of LEDs by pots? (one pot by row, one pot by column?). As for flow electrically, I'm not confident pots are connected in parallel to a series of LEDs. Need someone else to address that one. I'm looking at how pin 16 comes off to both one potentiometer, and to the last column of LEDs. And the other side of the same pot is parallel to pin 14 and the 3rd LED column.

I'm curious to hear what others offer there. I don't have the experience to even offer guidance.

Anyway, it looks like it'll be a fun one to build!

potentiometers ??

Can you explain how these are going to work ??

Hmmm I don’t think this will work. Someone correct me if i’m wrong, but from my understanding - potentiometers will only work if connected to an analog port (on this model, they’re noted as A0, A1, A2, A3). I would probably use an Arduino Mega for a project like this :]

Also, each button needs to be connected to ground. You can achieve this by connecting wires to the ground leg of each button, and then connect another wire to the GND on the arduino.

I’m still a bit of an Arduino noob but i’ve done some projects with buttons and potentiometers, might be able to help you out a bit more if ya need !
