2024-11-11 (M) EWC_Noodle New guitar controller

I thought about how my finger position would work with the Rock Band guitar controller, which had 2x3 buttons at the neck, and I really wanted the 1x5 configuration. I had another style, but the neck was not removable, a feature I liked about the old style.

All the buttons and lights were on pluggable headers, but they had two-millimeter spacing, so my prototyping boards were not compatible. Some of the connections were confusing, like the tilt switch, which had three wires, or the 1/8" headphone jack, which used two wires. I made notes about everything I found.
