Problem with Saguino sending MIDI notes
Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2011 11:59 pm
Hello,
I have lots of experience working with Arduino clones like Miduino, BoArduino – all with 17 I/O pins. Recently, I bought Saguino kit from Modern Device. It has 32 I/O pins. I thought that, I will be able to solve forever my dilemma of playing together two sides of a bigger piano accordion with the installed MIDI CPU like Saguino.
Until now, I was using Arduino clones to do mostly small accordions fro both sides, and the treble side only in bigger accordion units. I had no success with 12C communication or other means of joining two sides MIDI Output – treble and basses as one unit only. The "Pocket MIDI Merge" didn’t work either.
So far, after preparations, wiring and uploading the Saguino, the regular Arduino sketches that work on Arduino do not work on Saguino. There is not even one blink of the PinLed that would indicate that the unit is sending any signals to the MIDI Sound Module.
The green led indicates that the DC current is flowing. Prior to that, the Saguino card accepted all sketches made for Arduino clones. Those sketches were adjusted and uploaded to Saguino without any glitch with the note “uploding complete.”
I’m looking for a help, how to convert the sketch from Arduino clones to Saguino? It could be that, I use improper pins to send MIDI Output to the Sound Module. I use the same pins as in BoArduino, or two pins – TX and 5V.
Is there anyone on this Forum, who works with Saguino as the accordion MIDI CPU controller? Is there anyone who installed small sound card into his MIDI accordion?
Best Regards,
Vlad
