Make sure you check the link cable lines to the GB

Oh you might also want to check your cable wiring on the gameboy port, since I'm guessing you dont have leds to indicate midi is actually working. You could also use the arduino serial monitor to see if its getting data (it would print garbage of course)

I do have the leds connected, They do blink when i sent data..
My guess is they should be blinking if they recieve data as well?

Anyway, they don't tongue

Yeah I don't know. if you tried flipping the wires on the midi jack, tried flipping / disabling the diode, then its either the code that is running, the midi cable or host midi device, or the 6n138.

I've used plenty of the pro minis for various projects so I know its not that, if it is indeed the 16mhz/5v version.

Yeah, i'm gonna try getting another 6n138. And see if I can use it with something else, like a drum machine, if I find one tongue

Midi-out was the main reason I built it, but it still would be nice if in worked tongue

Are those speakers loud enough for basic monitoring onstage?

Ah no, I had to remove the speakers... pretty much everything inside... to fit in the arduino. So it's just a shell at the moment.

Besides, they are just a bit louder than the normal speaker, (and stereo) but the sound is not that great actually...

That is a mighty clever thing to build an arduinoboy into! smile

Thanks, I was quite pleased with that solution myself big_smile

This is how the total set looks like, I like the colours, blue and neon green go together nicely smile
I added an extra 1/8 inch connector on the bottom for headphones, and the arduino is connected to the gameboy via an USB connector that i wired to the external connectors.
I just made a gap where the pro-sound goes in tongue

Send a picture of what you're done so we can take a look at it

I tried taking a picture, but i only have a phone cam at the moment, as it is blurry as hell, i added some pointers tongue

with added lines:

Hope that helps in any way big_smile

It's a arduino Pro Mini.
But the strange thing is. Tx0 is connected to the midi out, and that works just fine...
I'll see if removing the diode works...

-edit-
No beans...

3.3volt or the 5volt pro mini?

It's  the 5volt version.
