Arduino and SP0256A-AL2 – Part 6

Finally I'm doing something arguably slightly musical with my SP0256A-AL2! Playing it over MIDI. Part 1 - Basic introduction and getting started Part 2 - Arduino programmable clock Part 3 - Using a Raspberry Pi Pico as a programmable clock Part 4 - Using a HC4046 PLL as the clock Part 5 - Using an I2C SI5351 programmable clock … Continue reading Arduino and SP0256A-AL2 – Part 6 →
