Analogue Inputs to MIDI Out

This allows up to 6 analogue inputs (with a range from 0 to 5 volts) to produce selectable MIDI control output commands. The analogue inputs could be rotary or slider potentiometers which are connected to 0 to 5 volts. Also the inputs could be connected to Force Sense Resistors (FSR), Light Dependent Resistors, Magnetic hall effect sensors via suitable interfacing etc. Note that unused inputs should be grounded to the 0 Volt line to prevent spurious noise pickup.

The Analogue to MIDI  6-way Controller unit utilizes:

• A Miduino kit including a suitable pre-programmed Atmega168,
• A 2.1mm power socket, and associated LED, 
• A 4-way DIP switch, which selects the MIDI channel at power-on, or in programme mode, shown in table 1
• A MIDI 5-pin DIN input socket,
• A MIDI 5-pin DIN output socket,
• A MIDI activity LED,
• 6 off 0.1" pin-terminal analogue inputs,
• The circuit schematic is available,

 

 

  

  

The Analogue to MIDI  6-way Controller unit requires:

• A 9 Volt battery or equivalent 9 Volt DC power source
• 6 Analogue inputs 0 to 5 Volt sources,

 

Circuit Schematic:

A circuit schematic of the Miduino shows the Input/Output connections. The Miduino is designed to connect to external breadboards or matrix boards on a 0.1" grid.

 

Assembly:

The kit includes all parts necessary, the assembly is straightforward and well documented. This design does not include a USB chip, it is designed to use a FTDI USB 232-TTL cable to program the microcontroller.  However since the cable plugs directly into the Miduino, you can use one cable for multiple Miduinos.

   

MIDI Wiring:

The MIDI  OUT connector uses a  5-Pin 180 degree DIN sockets. Note that the MIDI IN/OUT wiring is polarised and the correct pins should be used.
