Hands-Free YouTube Foot Controller
Learning a new guitar or piano riff on YouTube, but are
annoyed at having to put down your pick and clicking
your mouse or keyboard to go back a few seconds? Now
you can control the playback of learning videos with your
foot! Using the FREE “Controls for YouTube” Chrome
Insert, you can have your video go back three or five
seconds, START/STOP, or fast-forward three or five
seconds. Learn that new guitar part MUCH faster and
easier! Requires a $10 Arduino Pro Micro, five guitar
footswitches (about $12), a 5V LED, a USB jack ($12), and
about five minutes of soldering. We supply a Printed
Circuit Board to mount the microcontroller with easy-to-
solder through holes, the Arduino computer code script,
the plastic enclosure .STL file, an instruction manual, and
a parts list (with Amazon links) to build it. All you need is
a soldering iron and some solder.
