Yesterday I've tried to connect arduinoboy with ableton with no success.

The only way I see arduinoboy doing something is by connecting nanoloop as master, in that case the leds blink in order, and detects when I put nanoloop in mode E. I think midi in and out doesn't work.

I will send back to lowtoy the arduinoboy to fix it and check it. I think I can't test anything more. Thanks!

Hi,

I have the same arduinoboy from Lowtoy, with the same problems. I've trying to sync a nanoloop to a roland-mc-505 midi clock, but seems imposible. I was started to think that was a problem of mc-505 midi out. But after buying a usb midi inteface I've checked all the midi configurations of the roland groovebox. Now I know that the mc-505 midi works fine.

Anyone knows if it's necessary to make something more to get arduinoboy working? I don't know what I can do.

I'm making the following connections and configurations:

- I set the mc-505 to send midi clock messages.
- I put a midi wire from mc-505 midi out to midi in in arduinoboy.
- In arduinoboy I select nanoloop mode.
- I connect the gameboy with nanoloop in mode E connected to gb1 wire.
- I press play in mc-505 and nothing happens to the gameboy, nanoloop don't starts to play.

I check this configuration with my new midi interface putting "Ableton live" as slave and works well, when I press play in th mc-505 "Ableton live" starts to play.

What can I do now?

I'm using dualarduinoboy code because lowtoy's arduiboy pcb is designed to work with dualarduinoboy. I've not installed arduinoboy code because I don't know if it will works.
