Do you think to use the pressure sensor of the ribbon controller for anything
or only the position sensor?

I bought a touch panel and wrote the software to do that. But it's only the
position, not a pressure value I can use. The disadvantage is - you can only
move one meter at a time. Only one X/Y coordinate could be detected on the
touch panel at the same time.

So. how to go on. My proposal - I would look over my already existing
 material and put it somewhere to the net for others to use. This would
 include all the source files, a compiled version ready for flashing the
 device, a layout of the electronics and further links for others to be able
 to start. The device is not a big thing, it can start and stop Ardour,
 switch the record mode on and off and can send fast forward/rewind/home
 commands by now. My problem: I have a very limited web-space where I can put
 it. Furthermore I'd like others to be able to contribute too. Have you got
 any idea how (or where) to share those things. I had a short look at
 sourceforge but haven't got a rough idea how to start.
