I was browsing around and couldn't find a whole lot on this, one or two threads with speculation and ideas but...has anyone somehow tied actual potentiometers into their arduinoboy to control mGB's parameters? I'd like to have kind of a self contained unit (I only use mine for playing with keyboard). Any ideas? I read one person who suggested hooking up the pots to another arduino, and having that arduino pass the midi cc data to the gameboy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Two quick questions for you guys...my arduinoboy is working, but is there a way to get mgb to cycle through midi channels? Every note I play when connected to my junk 106 and my studiologic 990 pro, the only channel that works is the first channel. Both these keyboards can only output one midi channel at a time, but I figured that there would be a setting on mgb or arduinoboy to rotate the channels...is this not the case? I can change the channel and get the other voices to work singularly, so I know it is at least working...if there isn't a way to do this, does anyone know of a way to make Logic Pro to do this rotating midi channel thing so I can get some polyphony?

Secondly, am I able to take the ATMega out of the arduino and just use that singularly without modification with the arduinobiy circuit so I don't have to stuff my arduino in my project box?

Hello,

Recently built an arduinoboy using MEOW's kit (http://meowindustry.blogspot.com/p/products.html,) which relies on either the GB link cable or a 9v with a voltage regulator to power it. Long story short, it seems as though it was working (except for 2 LEDs being dead and possibly a problem with MIDI,) but I didn't have a link cable to test it out. Got a link cable, soldered the wires to the leads (including the gb 5v power) and the gameboy wouldn't turn on. I'm positive I soldered the correct pin from the 5v and ground to the arduinoboy, I took a look at it multiple times to be sure. So, gameboy wouldn't start, and arduinoboy wouldn't start. I put the 9v back in to see what the damage was, and the arduinoboy will not start anymore. Also noticed the voltage regulator gets extremely hot very fast now. So I know that's dead, but I also know that isn't needed if powering the arduinoboy via link cable. I guess my question is, is there any way to test my ATMEGA with a multimeter (I don't actually have an arduino, this kit only used the ATMEGA,) because I'm afraid I may have killed it.
