So, I've been using this little gadget for about a month now with no changes in the code and it's proven pretty useful. It works 100% as intended and, even when it's not plugged in, I find myself unconsciously reaching for it when editing. I think that is a great sign. The wiring is still a mess and I've yet to make a proper enclosure for it, but I think I'll do that after the holidays when I have the time to get my hands on some wood and craft the case.

There is a hiccup I've been noticing, though. For no apparent reason, it will sometimes refuse to send any signals and won't go back to work until it's been reflashed. This only happens after a powercycle and I can't willfully reproduce it. I'm sure the problem is in my coding, but I don't know where since it compiles just fine. I'll have to ask someone to look over the code and see where the problem lies. *shrug*

The next step is to make the menu system and finally put that top encoder to use. I may also use the button on the bottom encoder to set a multiplier for scrubbing speed.
