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…
