not entirely sure if this is in the right place or even done right, I'm new.
i would just like to know how to send midi out through the rx and tx pins on the arduino so that i can use it with an external midi to usb interface.
if anyone can help then please let me know.
many thanks

hi,
thanks for your reply, I'm sure this is just me but I'm sure just setting the baud rate to 31250, it doesn't automatically route the output message to the rx and tx pins on the arduino.
any ideas???
thanks
marc
help!!!
There ya go, let me know if you need anything else. XD
??????
like i mentioned i am still new to arduino. thanks for the link about the forum, thus already done!!!
so still no input to my question??

Are you sure you want to involve the rx pin as well? If so, may I ask why? Please note that the linked tutorial contains code and schematics, with wires going from Arduino pins to MIDI jack pins. Did you try any of it or just glanced at the baud rate?
To send data (of any kind) to the PC you use Serial ie Serial.print/Serial.write. Serial uses the Tx pin (pin 1?) to send and the Rx pin to recive and that's it! No magic no complications its done.
The IDE creates Serial and hooks it up with the Rx and Tx pins. Job done!

On the Uno, Serial automatically uses pins D0 and D1, so you don't have to tell it. You just tell it the baud rate.
Thanks guys this has been a great help.

The baud rate 31250 is important to MIDI. You have to use it.
