			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>in case you&#039;re working from this schematic: <a class="postimg" href="http://trash80.com/arduinoboy/arduinoboy_schematic_1_1_0.png" title="http://trash80.com/arduinoboy/arduinoboy_schematic_1_1_0.png" id="forum_image_8576833"><img src="http://trash80.com/arduinoboy/arduinoboy_schematic_1_1_0.png" /></a></p><p>if i remember correctly, the piece of link cable that is shown represents a cable that is cut up and soldered to the arduino. <br />When you check the link cable with a multimeter, you&#039;ll find out that there are two leads that are crossed over in the cable, so the pinout is different when you use a link port and plug a cable into it. <br />I think it&#039;s the bottom left and the top middle ones, but i&#039;m not sure. Try to swap these two.<br />i can check if you need.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve had the same problem every time I&#039;ve tried to use MIDI out with LSDJ and an AB... Haven&#039;t messed with the new LSDJ version, but I&#039;ve built tons of AB&#039;s in the past and couldn&#039;t ever get MIDI out functioning. The way I usually test if the MIDI out jacks are working is by testing the MIDI thru functionality. If you can send MIDI thru, then your AB/MidiOut is fine and it&#039;s a problem with LSDJ. I believe the problem with mine is that I use a Mac and USB Smart Carts, which do not work well together, and it&#039;s corrupted my LSDJ roms.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for the replies.<br />Of course I set the sync mode to Midi Out. Ardiunoboy software is 1.2.3 (the newest one, I think)</p><p>My circuit is a little bit like Frankenstein&#039;s monster because I wanted to test everything before thinking about how to put everything inside a box, so I hope the annotations are helpful. There are no short circuits or loose connections. I tried to change the sides of the pins of the MIDI ports - I have no clue which way they have to go (the schematic is not very good at describing the MIDI pins).</p><p>Overview:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://abload.de/img/img_1777d6qzl.jpg" title="overview" id="forum_image_17054438"><img src="http://abload.de/img/img_1777d6qzl.jpg" /></a><br />I guess you can&#039;t see very much here, but I uploaded it just for a overview of that beauty.</p><p>GB cable:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://abload.de/img/img_1778ynqlm.jpg" title="gb cable" id="forum_image_32095582"><img src="http://abload.de/img/img_1778ynqlm.jpg" /></a><br />This is a part of the four-player-link-adapter thing. It was too hard to desolder it so I destroyed the PCB. The pins on the top layer are those of the flat side, the pins on the bottom are those of the shaped side of the plug.</p><p>Midi-In:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://abload.de/img/img_17790gqo4.jpg" title="midi-in" id="forum_image_21952660"><img src="http://abload.de/img/img_17790gqo4.jpg" /></a></p><p>Midi-Out:<br /><a class="postimg" href="http://abload.de/img/img_1781hbqeh.jpg" title="midi-out" id="forum_image_97403135"><img src="http://abload.de/img/img_1781hbqeh.jpg" /></a><br />The 2K Ohm resistor that goes to the GND pin of the MIDI-Out is the pulldown resistor of the button. The 220 Ohm resistor goes to +5V.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Obvious question: Did you set the sync mode in LSDJ to MIDI OUT?</p><p>Maybe post a picture of your circuit, I know the arduinoboy page has a mistake/is confusing about the pinout on the midi outand has some cables swapped, which led to problems with the scienceguy run... not sure if that was ever fixed.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys, nice to meet you.</p><p>I wanted to try out the MIDI-out function of LSDJ 4.7.3 (arduinoboy version) and built an Arduinoboy (using an Arduino Uno SMD Edition) so that I can hook it up to a SammichSID and a Korg Electribe.<br />The probem is: I don&#039;t get any MIDI signals.<br />I have checked the pinouts of the MIDI socket and the GB cable and LSDJ is playing some notes with Q commands.<br />Do you have an idea what I could possibly have done wrong? Or some common mistakes that I may have overseen?<br />As I don&#039;t need the MIDI-in I left that whole part away from the build (i.e. pins RX and 4 are not used) - could that be a problem?</p><p>Thank you very much.<br />Fabian</p><p>//edit:<br />I added the MIDI-in so that I can look if I can connect via MAX. The Midi-in seems to work (as the status LED is flashing when I try to connect). But for whatever reason there is still nothing coming from the Midi-out <img src="https://chipmusic.org/forums/img/smilies/sad.png" width="15" height="15" alt="sad" /></p>]]></content>
