Hello, I just made my first Arduino project. A simple 9 button, 5 potmeter midi controller.
It works perfect via USB.
However, I need to connect it via a DIN-plug to my lighting desk.
What do I need to add to the code so I can connect a Midi - out on DIN?
here's the code so far...

Remember to also assign the correct board in the IDE (like Tools / Boards / Sparkfun AVR / Pro Micro...)

. In the end you only interchanged pin 2 and 4-
