My senior project is to build a small version of a laser harp. we're having trouble with the programming.
we're using a software synthesizer, 10 laser beams that can be broken, which 7 are them are for notes and 3 of the lasers are for changing effects.
we connected one midi jack with a 220 ohm resistor to digital pin 13 and ground. we have a usb to midi jack cable to connect the female DIN 5 pin to our laptop with our software synthesizer.
we need help with the source code where we are so unfamiliar with program and less experience.
my university isn't familiar with arduino so was wondering if anybody can help me with the source code.
That sounds like a very dodgy setup with the MIDI output, that will not drive the MIDI interface to the correct specifications. Also you will need to connect it to the serial output because MIDI is a serial protocol.
i fillowed the library on midi on this website. thats the way they set it up. was hoping somebody can help me or give me an idea or lead me to how i can make this work.
the programming is really difficult for me as well as my university really didn't help out with arduino programming
