Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm glad to hear this can be of use for someone other than myself.

@cyberic: I think what you want is possible. From what I've read on the Arduinoboy GitHub page it seems like the LSDJ Master sync mode sends the song row position as a MIDI note message.
This note can probably be changed to a Song Position Pointer message. It feels like the best solution is to modify the Arduinoboy code to achieve this.

@unexpectedbow: Sounds like a nice setup! May I ask which USB-MIDI adaptor you use? (I will add it to the list of supported devices).

A Raspberry Pi with Raspbian can do USB to DIN MIDI out of the box if you have a USB MIDI interface with DIN connectors.
You can route USB keyboards to a DIN port on the interface using the aconnect command.

This way you dont have to solder anything.

See here for an example:

Side-note:
I've made a program which lets you route MIDI like above while adding clock and more. See this thread:

Very cool, great job!

Would it be possible to keep the link port untouched and add the usb port somewhere else? Then we can still sync two GBs via the link port (for LSDJ master/slave, games etc).

Is it an easy mod to move the usb port if a user desires?

I wonder if I understand the ArduinoBoy MIDI out code correctly.

Sending 0 and 1 to the GB clk pin should trigger the GB to send notes and CC on the SO (out) pin.
One bit is sent from the GB for every 0 1 sent to the GB clk pin, so 0 1 is cycled 8 times to get a byte.

I tried this today while sending MIDI notes in LSDJ, but I never got anything from the GB. The SO pin is constantly 0.
Maybe I use the wrong pins.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Great job getting slave sync working! Have you looked at MIDI out mode as well? I'm doing a MIDI clock program for the RPi and would like to implement GB link communication too.
Åre you connecting the link cable directly to gpio pins?
Have you uploaded your code somewhere?
Do you want to work together with this? An idea is that our programs could communicate via a virtual ALSA MIDI port.

I haven't found any specifications other than the Arduinoboy code either.

I've had similar problems when using a usb 3 port. Switching to a usb 2 port fixed it for me. I guess you could also try to disable usb 3 in bios.

Have you tried setting sync mode to MIDI out in LSDJ and on the Arduinoboy before connecting the cable to the link port?
I have also got crashes and hanging, but I solved it by doing things in this order.
