 At a recent show, there was a problem with the monitors leaving the rest of the band unable to hear the beat. \\
 We normally use a click track but it was not possible at this show. This lead me to come up with this design for a visual metronome so the others know where we are in the bar.

 I posted my original design in the forum, the reply from technobreath inspired me to redesign the project. \\
 The project is now in 2 parts, a master unit and a slave. The master can be used as a midi clock master and a standalone midi & visual metronome. \\
 The slave can be used with the master or with a sequencer or with your DAW's metronome output.\\
+Version 02 has 32 preset memory locations to store the setup for quick recall.\\
 The master hardware consists of \\

+Here are some pictures of the master unit that I have built. The board is a home made version of the pic core along with a custom DOUTx2 DINx1 board. I had intended to separate the 2 boards but the whole panel fitted in the case so left them as one. I left several components out of the core part, only the parts required for this project are fitted. The unit is powered by a 5volt SMPS.
