IT WORKED!!! After months trying, I got it working!!! I love you, dude!!! I used an Arduino Uno (clone) and a 4n35 optocoupler to use my old Casio keyboard as a controller in LMMS (a DAW like Ableton, FL Studio...). All it takes are different resistor values and different coding (100 ohms at opto LED, 1K ohms at collector to 5v, and using SoftwareSerial as input pin instead of main RX pin).

Good job. While it will work fine and not damage anything, the schematic in the video is slightly wrong compared to the actual MIDI standard. It is missing one 220 ohm resistor on the TX pin on output side. That will add up to the correct 660 ohms in series when driven from 5V, and not 440 ohms. The current also drops to more like 5 mA, which is the proper value.

You're right, it can't be 5 volts. The principle should be the same with the lower voltages amounts I suppose.
@ericwright3382
@ericwright3382 3 күн бұрын
When the LED diode has the voltage in reverse, it has near infinite resistance. While yes, there are a couple 220 ohm resistors in series with this very high resistance... the diode will see approximately -5 volts. [Say the diode reverse biased is 1,000,000 ohms... the math would be 1000000/ (1000000+220+220) multiplied by -5v. That means the diode is seeing -4.9978V. That is too close to the spec that says the maximum reverse voltage of 5.00.] Reverse voltage kills diodes without much current, so those resistors don't help... you need a typical diode backwards and in parallel to the LED, to protect the LED.

I'm building a MIDI filter with Arduino Pro Mini, and noticed the odd thing about gnd of MIDI out being connected at one end of the cable. I was able to get the board to come up with power from a MIDI in. It can't use the optocoupler (because it gets power from IN). It works (a MIDI IN/OUT filter that can be reprogrammed with Arduino code). The main deviation is that I connect the IN.4 (pin 4 of MIDI IN) straight to regulated power), IN.4 to 220ohms to 5v, IN.2 to ground, IN.5 to rx. Then I think it's OUT.5 to tx, OUT.4 to 220 ohms to vcc.

Serial transmission (in particular MIDI) begins from the least significant bit up to the most significant bit. So, 10010100 at the beginning of the video actually has to be read as 00101001, which is not a MIDI message. Other than that, GREAT video!

isn't the anode the negative pole though, it being the part where oxidation occurs, whereas the cathode is involved with a reduction reaction and therefore the positive pole (attracts electrons)

I think the reason for the naming is that in a rectifier circuit, the positive voltage appears at the “anode” of the diode. I agree that it seems wrong in the video.
@fphenix
@fphenix 6 жыл бұрын
I believe from 1:40 to 2:00 is misleading because it is shown on a timing diagram. AFAIK, the LSB is sent first (i.e just after the Start), the MSB is sent just before the Stop, just like RS232. Hence the message here is actually 0x29 (not 0x94 as you imply) and 0x29 is most likely a data byte, certainly not a Status byte which must have its MSB high. So a message "Start note / channel 5 (4+1)" should be drawn as L(Start)-LLHLHLLH-H(Stop) on a timing diagram. Watch out, I've seen several wrong diagrams on the Internet...

Hi Frederic. Midi is big-endian and the MSB of the status is always low.
@fphenix
@fphenix 6 жыл бұрын
That's incorrect. BTW: I'm talking about the serial physical communication, not how to read a byte on a screen! The status messages go from 0x80 to 0xFF, that means MSB=High right there and serially the MSB is sent last just before the Stop-bit (so close to the right hand side on a timing diagram).

Excellent video but how do you handle the timing of bits coming in on the Arduino accurately? (I'm not looking for an answer here, but I'd like a link to such a video, or if there is none, it'd be an idea for a video. My understanding is that the Arduino language is just Java, and it's too jittery to do something with tight timing requirements like a MIDI clock. Yet the existence of this current video certainly implies it's possible.)

At 11.04 I don’t understand why you say it’s passing 0.7v? I thought it subtracts the 0.7v forward current from 5v leaving 4.3v to pass through the LED?
@jeberle1
@jeberle1 4 жыл бұрын
The two components (the diodes) are in parallel. If the component on the left were an open circuit (missing), the component on the right would see all 5V. If the component on the left were a short circuit (just a wire) the component on the right would see 0V. The component on the left has a voltage drop of 0.4V (imagine it's a resistor), so the component on the right sees that same voltage, 0.4V. No more or less. This is w/in the diode's spec and so does nothing, nor is it harmed by this arrangement.

UPDATE. I could get it to work with 4n35 only (sw serial is not a good idea for midi lots of misses so RX is a way to go). Same diode between 1 and 2, 1 goes to (midi 4) thru R1 (220-330+ Ohm)... (use any you have), 2 goes to (midi 5). 4 goes to GND, 5 goes to RX and thru R2 (800-1.2K) to 5V. That's it. 3 and 6 pins are not used. OLD I cannot get it to work with 6n136, PC817, 6n138 all of them work separately, but not together with the Atmega328p. Tried 2 different functional midi outs. Tried it with 2 new Arduino Nano, with a standalone atmega328p on a board (with all required components) Rx,tx are workings because I use them to upload code via USB-TTL. I've tested the schemes manually by connecting +5v to pin4 and ground to pin5, so i can get LOW signal out of RX, which I can read on any digital or analog inputs, even if connected to rx on arduino. So it works by connecting external VCC. But if I connect to midi outs (tried 2 different 1working with 100% working cables) to this scheme it just does not react at all... It does not read. I've tried Midi input test example, serial software, just serial with baud rate 31250... it just does not work and I don't understand why.

Hey, I’m wondering if anyone knows if there is a signal sent when a midi device is paired with another and if that signal is readable? Ie. if I built a midi controller that connected to say a multi channel midi enabled synth would there be a signal when both devices are paired together regardless of parameter changes? I imagine something like this: Midi Controller(MC) Midi Instrument(MI) MC pot set to CC32 MI “attack” is CC36 MC 32 xxxxxxxxxxxxx MI 36 MC 36 -------->MI 36 X = no connection -> = connected If there is a message does anyone know how I can approach reading that data to actuate LEDs? Cheers

Can you tell me why the hell they chose such unintuitive pinout numbering for midi? Is there a reason that it's not sequential from one side to the other?

Does the midi output from a Casio keyboard to the arduino have some sort of buffer? I have a circuit that tests for 4 keys to be pressed simultaneously, and then it sets a pin to HIGH for ten seconds. What I have found is that if I press those same four notes within that ten second period, it adds additional time for the output pin to be HIGH (triggers a relay), as if there is a buffer from the midi device ready for the circuit to read it. Any ideas?

Hi Ghost. There should be no reason that the MIDI output form the casio should be delayed in any way. I would go back and check your program to make sure it is handling the incoming messages correctly.

What is the purpose of the diode connecting on the base of the first transistor?

That is the photodetector diode that 'sees' the optical transmission of the LED. They operate in reverse bias and conduct when they receive the light, thus turning on the transistor.

Do a video on MIDI in out communication via Bluetooth LE to Arduino please!!! What libraries do I use, code tips, etc. That would be very helpful! Thanks!
