FaderBuddy

by @scottbez1

I’ve been building a plug-and-play controller to use motorized faders with ESPHome and other microcontrollers easily, called FaderBuddy. It’s a small board with a ATtiny1616 and motor driver that mounts to the bottom of Behringer MF60T replacement faders and provides an I2C interface for reading the position, moving to a specific spot, and even setting up haptic detents, like a linear version of my SmartKnob project. Perfect for making an intuitive smart light dimmer switch or a macropad. Just need to find some time to finish making a proper video about it… https://github.com/scottbez1/FaderBuddy
