Can't install library "themidibus"

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
1

Hello There!

I want to translate midi to leds, but I can't install the library "themidibus".

This is the error I get: Arduino: 1.8.20 Hourly Build 2022/04/25 09:33 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Specified folder/zip file does not contain a valid library

Invalid library found in C:\Users\Kyarah\Documents\Arduino\libraries\themidibus: Missing 'maintainer' from library

Invalid library found in C:\Users\Kyarah\Documents\Arduino\libraries\themidibus: Missing 'maintainer' from library

I've tried to add maintainer = to the "library.properties", but it gave the same error (this error is without any edits).

I really hope someone can help me with this. I'm new to Arduino but i'm excited to start learning it! :slight_smile:

Have a nice day!

Is this the library you are trying to use?

This seems to be a Java library.

You can't use an Arduino Uno to communicate with a MIDI device with the USB connector. To do that you need a Leonardo or Micro.

All the UNO can provide is a serial interference which needs an other program on your PC to do the translation, like hairless.

As @jfjlaros says this library is not designed to be used with an Arduino but on the stand alone programming language called Processings that runs on your PC.
