Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 5 – MIDI IN

Having now tried a number of stand-alone projects, I thought it was time to get the Synth Shield hooked up to something else. And for music, that means MIDI! This project looks at building and using a serial ("traditional") MIDI IN circuit for the Synth Shield. The full index of projects and my personal build … Continue reading Arduino “Make Your Uno” Synth – 5 – MIDI IN →

2022 Year in Review

As I write this at the start of the new year, I'm going for a little self-indulgence and am going to summarise some of the things I got up to in 2022. Partly as a "looking back" but also as a way of thinking about all the loose ends and "further ideas" that I often … Continue reading 2022 Year in Review →

Arduino Tones – A New, New Hope

Having just completed my Arduino Nano Multi-tone or PWM PCB Build Guide I wanted an example application. So I went back to my Arduino Tone One Year On! project which was designed to do something interesting with my very first projects in celebration of one year of my blog! At the time, I wrote: "Note it should … Continue reading Arduino Tones – A New, New Hope →

Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited

A little while after my last set of experiments for a Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer I found a video from "Gadget Reboot" showing how to use the KS0835F subscriber line module from an Arduino to interface to a phone more easily. So I bought some and this is the start of a set of new experiments … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Telephone Ringer Revisited →

Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB

This is a version of my Arduino Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB designed for use with the Arduino Nano. Specifically I've been looking at what it might take to get Mozzi running on the Arduino Nano Every, which is quite a different beast to the original Nano, but with the same pinout. This board should be … Continue reading Arduino Nano Mozzi Experimenter Shield PCB →
