Red Feline Stompbox - USB guitar pedal using ATTiny microcontroller

Red Feline Stompbox is a USB keyboard with just one key, albeit a multifunction one. It is designed to be built with a foot switch and a strong case in order to provide a foot operated control for a computer. The keyboard recognises both single and double clicks as well as detecting if the key is held down for a long time. Customized key events can be attached to any of these user actions.

It can be used:

• to start an stop playback of backing tracks,
• to engage/disengage software implemented effects,
• to switch patches or presets,
• to trigger looping actions.

Red Feline Stompbox is free software with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. It is licenced under the GNU General Public Licence.
