The Wireless, Battery Powered, FCB 1010 project

Edit; updated with the How to here:
http://pipelineaudio.net/2018/02/07/wireless-battery-powered-behringer-fcb-1010/6/Day 1, and realizing that even with the power of SWS and REAPER, MIDI is still tricky and painful.
I wasn't able to get auto engage working but I did get a pretty good setup using SWS extensions' snapshot (not sure that SWS Live Configs is where I need to go, the snapshots seem good
Drilled a footswitch in under one of the expression pedals and tied it to switch ten
Spent hours trying to force the FCB 1010 into CC only mode

Still spending a ton of time to come up with a not impossible scenario to get this working, trying to do a decent template that anyone can use after this, and I tell you, this is a no fun deal....
And by that I mean I'm still struggling with the software....pain...SWS Live Configs actually murders for this, as long as you just want a pedal board of preset loaders...I'm trying to make a more complex yet simple setup with toggles for different fx and stuff, which is requiring writing some custom scripts, a lot of questions on facebook and various forums and general pain. I promise I'll have something sensible sooner or later, but hopefully you guys can help
What do you usually want to see?
-
ten pedals picking ten different presets (with zero switching time between them)?
-
5 presets and five sets of stomp boxes you can toggle on and off?
-
Some other sort of configuration? Please specify

Most likely blew the entire power supply tonight, won't know till tomorrow when I can buy some more fuses
On the plus side, I have tested and confirmed that we can now use IK Multimedia iRig Blueboards in Windows!

@pipelineaudio
I would like to see:2 pedals for switching between banks
4 pedals for recalling certain patches
4 pedals for toggle on/off some pedals or functions like: tap tempo, tuner, delay, booster
-
And, here we go! Wireless, Battery powered, and even got auto engage to work!!!
Check it out!!!

@salvatore-di-piazza do you have an FCB 1010?
-
@pipelineaudio
No I don't have it anymore, I sold it months agoI see you're doing good with that now..don't you?
-
Yeah, I'm working on the suggested setup you suggested, and was just seeing if you'd be able to test it on your end once I'm done...
I'm making a few versions:
-
8 patches, 1 tuner/mute/places tuner on the screen, closes tuner window and unmutes on any other pedal press (including expressions, 1 tap tempo (working out how to bring the BPM up on a window and somehow allow manual entry of it as well), plus bank select up/ down, two expression pedals
-
4 patches bottom row, 4 stomps top row, plus 1 tuner mute, tap tempo, bank select up/down, two expression pedals
-
4 patches top row, 4 stomps bottom row, plus 1 tuner mute, tap tempo, bank select up/down, two expression pedals

Sounds cool!
Can you also implement secondary functions on buttons like "double press" or "long press"? That would be very interesting..
-
Double press for sure....long press, maybe
-
Got tap tempo working, trying to figure out a way to display the BPM in a big window while you're doing it

Here's the How to
