Having remembered this is a thing, I'm highly considering picking one of these up once I have the funds to afford getting a wii drum. Possibly after the holidays depending on circumstances. Would be something great to play around with when I'm not up for really hard songs.

Email notifications froze again, sorry for the delay.Jism wrote:
Will I need a wii controller for this?
No Wii controller required! The controller plugs directly into the converter as though it were a wiimote.
Nice! I sent my money through paypal, hoping that this converter will be pretty good.Thanks!
The adapter came in the mail in about 3 weeks, and there isn't any noticeable delay from it. The only thing I need to do is fix my tatacon's rim, the hits are not very accurate and I have to hit pretty hard for it to register. Overall I'd give the adapter a 10/10. My drum however gets a 3/10.
Wow, that seems great!
I'll be ordering one since I was given a knock off Taiko remote, but I actually want to try and replicate your work as a side project.
Thing is, I know next to nothing about Arduino and the likes.
How do I go about making my own Tatacon to USB converter?
I'm prepared to learn whatever it takes.

is this tatacon only? would this work on the wii fight stick?
Safe assumption that this doesn't work for the wii fight stick. May want to look into a different converter for that.
I just hoped on the taiko train, this seems really nice ~ Any updates on the refill ?
And since nobody ever asked ima ask here : can it work without installing Chrome - and ever better, can it be customised without using the Chrome app ? Mytoaster laptop's burning at 60°C without anything launched, so I'm not too keen on installing new softwares on top of that.

If I had a dollar for every missed 'new message' notification from the forums, I'd have... at least 6 dollars.
Oh, and sorry to crush the colourful people, but the next batch will be black only (unless you 3D print your own case). I've had ongoing issues with getting parcels out on time, and I don't like being that guy. Making them all black lets me pre-print everything for massive gains in shipment speed.
Arduino Leonardo (for keyboard emulation), nunchuck adapter for arduino ($1 off ebay) and communicate via I2C to the nunchuck. You can even use my code, just as long as you hook it up to the right pins.SugoiReborn wrote:

Refill coming ~soon~, waiting for my PCB fab to ship. You do need the Chrome app to configure things, but can uninstall it once you do, since it remembers the settings.Stalzak wrote:

Far longer than promised, but back in stock! And $5 discount for the next month.
USB adapter came in today. Works great! I have a question more so about osu. Is there any way to lower the sensitivity of drum hits? Because I feel like I have to hit really hard on the drum for it to register hits.

If it's an official drum, use this mod. If it's a chinese clone, you just have to hit harder :\
Yes, it's an official drum. Thanks for the link! Definitely going to look into this.montymintypie wrote:

Does all knockoff tatacon were made the same design? the official drum is very pricey 
thinking of buying a knockoff since there is no way i can afford the official ones..
oh btw, is the discount still available? :3 /cheapskate

2 months late, I'm afraid. Knockoff is all the same (as far as I can tell) - design is simple and playable, you just have to hit don a little hard. And noisy. But it works well!

Oof, very sorry about not updating the website - more stock in 2 weeks (hopefully less)giopde1ste wrote:

Sincere apologies, I've been overly busy in the leadup to Xmas - I should have posted an update sooner.TREEToTREET wrote:
What about srock? And how many does it cost at all if its possible to send this in russia?
I've got all the parts, just need to print cases + solder things together. I've been having some Z-axis issues where the USB connector doesn't fit through the final print, so I've expanded tolerances and will reprint soon. I expect to have stock shortly after Christmas, maybe only a few days after boxing day.

PS: Russia is same as everywhere else, $25 delivered.

Alright - we're finally back. Thanks again for waiting!
Well, I hope that this actually worksmontymintypie wrote:
Still waiting for the parcel, but while I wait, I got hard numbers on latency.
Using my scope, I had 1 probe connected to a piezo mic, and another to the LED of the converter. This LED updates at 1KHz, the same rate as the USB update rate.
I then smacked the drum 50 times, and recorded the delay between the moment the piezo started to respond, and when the converter registered a hit. An example measurement:
After 50 hits, here are the results:
Average: 1.802ms
Median: 1.77ms
Std Deviation: 0.44454517
Min: 1.1ms
Max: 2.78ms
Rounding the max value up, I can confidently say that there is an absolute worst case 3ms lag. And average lag of 1.8ms. This is imperceptible. Lagfree = confirmed!
Anyway, where can I buy dis thing

Never would I have thought I'd known of Mon years before getting into bemani...
i am so interested in this and taiko is something i am starting to really get addicted to so i am going to buy a tatacon converter tomorrow.
so just plug it in and get the TaTaConfig on crome web store and turn on the osu! settings for it and its all set for a beating?
i hope i am lucky and they both arrive on the same day.

if you're happy with the default keyboard bindings, you don't even need the config app at all! Plug and play
Phew.. 7 months since anyone said anything- luckily I do have a specific reason!
Does anyone know if MontyMintypie still sell these or is it completely inactive? I tried contacting the sellers email(just to ask a few questions) and PM on this community but no response, so I figure I try asking here on the forum where maybe anyone might know? xD (Worth a short!)

Hey montymintypie! Are you still selling the USB adapters? I wrote you a few weeks ago to sales@mon.im and got no resply. I would like to purchase 2 of your awesome adapters if possible...
Hi,
I wanted to buy a Tatacon to USB converter but Paypal told me you don't have any left. So I wanted to ask if you had any left somewhere or if you would produce more of them sometimes.
