How is your optocoupler wired up?

Like this:

Even if the optocoupler wasn't wired correctly, wouldn't midi out still work?

Sorry to necrobump this thread, but I'm having the exact same problems as OP with the arduinoboy I just built. The leds run through the startup sequence just fine and I can switch modes with the pushbutton, but no matter what I do I cannot get any midi activity in or out. The status led does not blink when I send the aboy midi notes. I'm trying it with both my rockband midi keytar as well as one of those cheapie usb->midi cables. Both of those methods of midi output work fine with my FB-01.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd love to be able to get this puppy working.

Star Versus rules

Totally awesome! I particularly like how all of your demos do something cool with the nintendo logo. Does anyone know if any games had cool effects like that? I mean how cool would it be if Mario ran and jumped off the nintendo logo or something?

Also, how did you do the music for this? Carillon Editor?

I would suggest hosting the code on github. Not only is it a great (and free) code host, it has a lot of features that are great for open source projects.

Catskull, my work gateway won't allow me access to most social areas of the internet (including your link above). Unfortunately the best time for development discussion is during my work hours...

Oh, no problem. Just thought I'd throw that in there!

With the rate at which development talk happens would it be worth it to try and move the conversation to another channel? Gitter is an irc like web based chat system that's free to use and integrates with github well. I've created a chat room here: https://gitter.im/catskull/GB303

Simple project landing site is up at http://catskull.net/GB303 (hosted on github pages). If everyone hates it I'll take it down. I just thought it could be easier for people than digging through a huge thread and downloading a zip.

Benn, if you ever get to a point where you'd like to make another beta (or alpha) release, let me know and I'll update the code on my github repo and create a release with an attached .gb file for downloading.

Did you remove the battery contacts when you painted it?

No you're fine, thanks for the offer. Do you have much VCS or git experience? I'd be happy to share some pointers if you would like.

Great work Ben! Where is your source code though? There's only two forks on github and one of them is mine. The other doesn't have any of the changes you're talking about.

Why wouldn't that be okay? You'd be well within the bounds of the CC license.

I would love it if you did the development on githib, not just host the code there. It could be a great learning experience to dig through each commit. It would allow be helpful for issue tracking, as well as getting outside help.

Thanks for the explanations everyone! I still feel like the guy in the space harrier video though! That part at the end is the most metal thing of all time.
