Arduino Based midi foot controller

[diydidi]

Hi.
I would like to construct a 3 switch midi foot controller for a guitar fx pedal a friend of mine has.
Anyone know how to do this with arduino, or done something similar willing to share ideas, code, schematic.
Regards

It's quite easy, google is your friend, there's loads of projects using an arduino as a midi foot controller.

It's basically an arduino, with buttons, and the midi out goes through serial tx. Write an app that reads the butto state and send the desired midi through the serial line.
Arduino has already libs in order to process MIDI (read and send).

Here's a few pointers:
