Fliper-2 arcade MIDI controller

Twelve arcade buttons and four potentiometers send control information to host software. It is not a complete DJ deck or audio interface.

Documented MIDI performance controller · Sources reviewed 11 September 2026

CAIBI assessment

A concrete arcade-button controller with source code and fabrication files. Confirm the Pro Micro variant and host mapping before turning it into a finished performance device.

Cost and commitment

The source shopping links do not establish a current UK/US complete basket. Confirm exact board and button variants, fabrication, delivery and software costs.

Lead and build time

No measured assembly or elapsed time is available.

Parts and fabrication

Compatible Pro Micro board
Twelve arcade buttons and four B10k potentiometers
Four M3 × 35 mm spacers, screws and wires
Source enclosure parts, USB data cable and host music software

The repository contains enclosure, schematic and code directories. Check the selected button diameters, board connector, material thickness and spacer dimensions against the files before fabricating or printing.

The linked source BOM and files control exact quantities, dimensions and revision. This summary is not a replacement fabrication file.

Assembly and test route

Follow the creator’s detailed instructions at each stage. The sequence below identifies the decisions and checks that connect them.

Choose a supported board variant and inspect schematic, enclosure and code together.
Gather all controls and test-fit their actual diameters in a sample panel.
Wire and inspect the inputs using the published schematic before uploading the baseline program.
Check every button and knob in a MIDI monitor, then configure the intended host mapping.
Finish the enclosure, secure wiring and repeat tests while using several controls at once.

Where AI helps

AI can help with note/controller mapping and enclosure changes. Mechanical fit, wiring and live performance reliability require hands-on tests.

UK and US purchasing

No current regional basket has been verified for this exact build. Use the source parts list below to establish UK and US variants and delivery costs before buying. We have not substituted generic shopping links for compatible parts.

Prompt for Fliper-2 arcade MIDI controller

CAIBI project benchmark: Fliper-2 arcade MIDI controller
Prompt version 1.0

Help me build Fliper-2 arcade MIDI controller using the existing creator project at https://github.com/silveirago/Fliper-2. This is a CAIBI benchmark adaptation of the project build brief, not a claim about how the creator used AI.

Project context:
- Twelve arcade buttons and four potentiometers send control information to host software. It is not a complete DJ deck or audio interface.
- Build context: Compatible Pro Micro board; Twelve arcade buttons and four B10k potentiometers; Four M3 × 35 mm spacers, screws and wires; Source enclosure parts, USB data cable and host music software.
- Fabrication scope: The repository contains enclosure, schematic and code directories. Check the selected button diameters, board connector, material thickness and spacer dimensions against the files before fabricating or printing.
- AI role: AI can help with note/controller mapping and enclosure changes. Mechanical fit, wiring and live performance reliability require hands-on tests.
- Known limitation: Source-based review only. No current affiliate-link availability or complete regional cost has been validated.

Read the source first. Use its published design, files, dimensions and parts as the baseline; do not redesign it unless a missing detail requires a clearly labelled proposal. If you cannot access a source or verify a revision, say so.

Provide one practical build package:
1. Design and files: explain the source design, link the original editable files, and identify missing files or modifications.
2. Parts and fabrication: give quantities, exact variants and compatibility, plus a cutting or printing list where applicable. Preserve source dimensions; flag anything unconfirmed.
3. UK and US purchasing: direct product links, checked dates, stock, pack sizes, taxes, delivery and regional costs. Mark unverifiable details as unknown; do not invent links, prices or availability.
4. Assembly: an ordered guide covering fabrication, fitting, wiring or software as applicable, setup, checks and troubleshooting.
5. Cost and time: separate parts, fabrication, delivery, hands-on time and machine time, with assumptions and exclusions.
6. Function and ease: a test plan for the project's stated purpose, likely difficulties, required skills and any corrections or limitations.

Keep source facts, your proposals and items needing physical verification distinct. An estimate is not a measured build result. Do not claim to have built or tested hardware. Include failed attempts and omissions. If a section does not apply, say why.

Use the source as accessed during this run and record its revision or access date. The prompt is fixed; the linked source can change.
