Arduino UNO as midi

Projects Programming
1

I am new to Arduino programing. I have an Arduino Uno and Im trying to read some Midi signals.

I don't have a code yet because I don't now what libraries if any to use

2

I suggest you go on line and study many of the tutorials available on this. Then do a schematic, not a frizzy picture. You need this information before you can write code as it is hardware dependent.

I have been studying for the past 3 weeks but so far I haven't found a good answer.

I am building some motorized faders that are controlled by midi. I am able to control the faders with another potentiometer. now I need to change the input for the midi imput.

see the schematics bellow

Duplicate post. MIDI advice was already given
https://forum.arduino.cc/t/help-with-motorized-faders/1017224/33

I'm sorry but he clearly said that he does not know anything about midi. So I created a new forum to seek help specific for midi not the motorized faders

Is it the same program?

Don't know if its the same person you mean, but I read there, "Maybe this will help to make it work with Midi. Tested an works on my setup."

What kind of MIDI messages?
Motorized faders usually use Pitch Bend, in which case you could use Control Surface: Pitch-Bend-Value.ino.
See also Control Surface: MIDI Tutorial.

Here's what I use for my motorized faders: GitHub - tttapa/Control-Surface-Motor-Fader: Arduino motorized fader controller, and example code for integration with the Control Surface library.

yes I installed that, I just don't know how to implemented in my code and test it out

What have you tried? What were the results?

Did you see the Direct MIDI control section?

All of the MIDI logic is here, it's quite simple (compared to the rest of the code at least):

I will try it. I just don't know how to test each part to see where the problem is.

Should I connect an led that lights up or something?

11

That's one possibility.

What issues are you facing right now?
If it's just the MIDI communication, I'd simply use the MIDI_DEBUG option (this uses the USBDebugMIDI_Interface). You can then still use Serial.print() in your code, and you can manually send MIDI messages in the Serial Monitor to see which parts respond incorrectly or not at all.

12

okay I will try that. my biggest issues is not being able to see the serial while using the arsine because is not midi compliant

13

how do I set up the debug option?
