Arduino MIDI Proto Shield

Whilst on the topic of MIDI modules with built-in expansion capabilities, I also wanted a prototyping shield for an Arduino Uno that has the MIDI circuitry pre-built, so this is the next project. Update: Find the Build Guide here: Arduino MIDI Proto Shield - Part 2 Tutorials used in this project: Arduino MIDI Interfaces Notes on … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Proto Shield →

3V3 MIDI Module PCB

I have a range of Ready-Made MIDI Modules but all of my 3V3 ready ones tend to be DIY MIDI Interfaces, so I thought I'd capture the now largely ubiquitous 3V3 MIDI circuit that I keep using into a single module. Note: This is recommended for use with cheap microcontrollers, NOT more expensive single board computers such … Continue reading 3V3 MIDI Module PCB →

Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Module PCB

I've now built several DIY Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI interfaces, and despite several hints via social media, no-one has come forward to make me a simple MIDI interface module, so I've decided to have another go at making a PCB myself. Update: Find the Build Guide here: Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Module PCB - Part 2 … Continue reading Raspberry Pi Pico MIDI Module PCB →

Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” – Part 3

Having been sitting and waiting for my Seeedstudio Fusion order from the board designed in part 2, three weeks later - it's here! So this is by way of an assembly guide and review of the design and production. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not … Continue reading Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” – Part 3 →

Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” – Part 2

I've been meaning to have a try at PCB design for a while. I'd like to add it to the list of things I'm amateurly enthusiastically ignorant about. I've not seen anything like my Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” available anywhere but it is built of individual designs I am very familiar with, so I … Continue reading Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” – Part 2 →

Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield”

Having spent some time now playing with a range of MIDI merge options, one final thing I wanted to do was have a "merge shield" that could quickly turn an Arduino Uno into a simple two-in, one out MIDI unit. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am … Continue reading Arduino Uno Dual Merge MIDI “Shield” →
