Hihat Stealth conversion module / 2box

Ok, thank you Rob.

I guess, it will be easier to check and go for some of the other DIY hihat solutions then ...

Cheers, Frank

Have a look at the hall-sensor thread in the DIY section here. I just followed this guide and built my own hall sensor this weekend. Took me about 2 hours to finish and works great!

[Dewaaachner]

Yes, saw it already. Thanks.

Beeing used to playing hall effect pedals (ddrum & 2box) I would prefer this. Also, no mechanical wear to be expected is a big advantage to me.

In the manual there is a wiring diagram and reference to a compatible sensor. It doesn't offer the greatest resolution, but it's easy to build uses current from the eDRUMin, so there's no need for external power.

Thank you Rob & Flaphead, just ordered a honeywell ss49e and going to try a build, powered by the edrumin.

Cheers, Frank

I use one of this, made by drone triggers in the UK, it's an optical controller with reflection plate and works perfectly with my diy cymbal.

Cool. Looks good...
Thanks for sharing... haven't noticed that type of pedal sensor before.

So, did it today. Indeed, easy to build.

I copied the ddrum4-design, where the sensor is fixed at the pad and the Magnet is mounted like a clutch.

nice, post a short video demoing it, otherwise "sounds great" doesn't mean anything to me
