After going over my work last night, I realized that I had wired the potentiometers wrong. After fixing them I plugged everything back up and tested it and it worked. I first tested it with a trigger from a Drumfire machine and it worked. I thought the drum pads didn’t work but I later tested them and they too worked. I think I had the sensitivity dial turned all the way.
I didn’t test the Yamaha drum pad but getting it to work with the triggers and Pearl pads was enough for me. I may need to use a different potentiometer to make fine tuning the sensitivity a little easier, especially for stage settings but this is a great start!
