Using PedalinoMini to send notes with varying Velocity

[Steffinuss]

I already use the PedalinoMini as a controller pedal for guitar effects and the LoopyHD App. Thank you very much for this incredible work!
Now my son started playing the drums and I would like to build a custom electronic drumset for him. I am wondering if the PedalinoMini could also be useful for this built. I already managed to create actions to trigger notes for base drum, snare and hi-hat in garageband (Press-Release Note ON/OFF) with my existing PedalinoMini pedalboard:

Of course the buttons I have now are not pressure sensitive, thus the velocity is set to a certain number specified in the PedalinoMini Web Interface, in this case 127.

My main question now is: Is there any way to use the Pedalino Mini to send "Note On" MIDI commands with varying velocities?
If possible I could use the PedalinoMini to create my electric drum kit based on piezo drum pads. However, I am not sure if there is any action in the web interface that outputs a "note on" command in combination with variable velocity depending on a certain analog input.

I suggest to test the following setup

• Connect the piezo to an Analog pedal (schematic to be determined but it looks like a MOhm resistor in parallel could be enough)
• Define an Analog pedal without Automatic Calibration and use Min as threshold for triggering
• Define an Action on pedal Move as NoteOn
• When piezo pressure is greater than Min value it is translated into note velocity

If you plan to do some testing let us know the results.

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I plan to do some testing but it will take some time because I need to prepare and buy some equipment first. I will let you know when I started and share my results here!

I am working to suppor a new type of pedal: the Analog Pad. it will transform PedalinoMini into a trigger-to-midi device too.

Here is a short Video of my first test run. It seems quite promising.

Here are my settings:

(In the video I used Note 38 of course)

Here are some basic Midi Notes used in the Garageband Drumset:

Now I analysed the recording from Garageband for iOS in Logic Pro on macOS, that gives me more detailed information about velocity values. Listen to my screen recording here:
