Hello to everyone.
I have a problem with my ARDUINOBOY in midi out. It's work at home but when i do live with "?instable?" electricity wiriness i have some glitch, lose note or hang on a note. it is difficult to explain, because I use google translate :s
I have the last lsdj rom arduinoboy: 4.10
I use a external power supply in 9V ( i try several)
And on midi in i have : tr-505, doepfer dark energy, dave smith evolver and modular synth with midi in.

Ok
FTDI USB/TTL - I/O 3.3V - VCC 5V
or
FTDI USB/TTL 5V
I know nothing about this.

This is a dream come true for me. How would one go about acquiring an Arduinoboy?

Okay, so I downloaded the rom and flashed my arduinoboy with the latest version and I set up a single note with the Q00 command to send the note as is. I switched LSDJ to midi mode, and the 3rd and 4th lights on the arduino started flashing like crazy, and i hadn't started the song playing yet. WHen i try to start the song playing it says "Too busy". The lights also seem to be going insane when i select "slave" as the mode. nano freezes it.
What would be causing MIDI mode in LSDJ to be causing the arduinoboy lights 3 and 4 to be going nuts, and make the sequencer "too busy" to play a song.
Also, is MIDI the correct mode for this? There's really not much documentation...
And i'm assuming that the correct arduinoboy mode is the one where all 5 LEDs flash when activated? Again, there is no documentation for this but that appears to be what the label on the image of the arduinoboy case on the arduinoboy page would indicate.

like, which arduinoboy mode do you use?
You have to flash the aboy with new code, and it generates new modes. When youa re in midi mode, each led will flash as each channels midi notes are being sent.
I GET IT NOW, THIS IS AMAZING

nah, lsdj sync needs to be in the midi out mode - it is the last one.

I made the same mistake twice now, i did not scroll past the options i was familiar with to find that new options were added to the end (like NXQY are after the normal letters, not inserted within them... because i'm lazy, and impatient)

Ok, so I updated the arduino code and LSDJ is sending midi notes to my computer with no issues. But yesterday I tried to send midi sync to my TR-505, with no success. The 505 syncs to the computer without a problem, but not with the Game Boy.
LSDJ is in midiout mode, and it even has an instrument for sending midi data. Again, the computer accepts it, but 505 doesn't.
Is there any reason for that?

Did you set the right channel on the 505?
Do you want to sent note data or clock sync..
It worked fine with mine tho.

I just want to send clock sync. Shouldn't it be just "pressing play on lsdj" with midiout?
Or do I have to send a midi note to a specific midi channel?

midiout doesnt send clock sync. You need Lsdj master.

Tried master mode as well, prof.
Is there some setting in the 505 itself? I'm still fresh at roland DM's.
