Hello, I am trying to control MIDI thru via AJAX. Unfortunately, I found that both:
MIDI_CREATE_INSTANCE(HardwareSerial, Serial, MIDI);
MIDI_CREATE_INSTANCE(SoftwareSerial, SoftSerial, MIDI);
causes an issue with the html code (listed below). When MIDI_CREATE_INSTANCE is included, the html repeats itself in the
section. I had thought that switching to SoftwareSerial would resolve this but sadly that is not the case. I am using a Arduino Uno and have a Arduino Mega on the way thinking having 2 hardware serial ports may help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Arduino Html Code: (basically from Arduino AJAX Web Server for Reading a Switch Automatically.)
