Here is the last part of my @arduino Make Your Uno series for the time being - putting everything together for a MIDI Mozzi FM synth using the Synth Shield.

The 5th set of experiments for my @arduino Make Your Uno Synth Shield adds MIDI IN by building a DIY circuit onto the Make Your Uno practice PCB.

Done it. I've turned the @arduino Make Your Uno solder practice PCB into a MIDI IN interface :)

What do you think?

I'm wondering if I can turn the Make Your Uno practice pcb into a MIDI IN interface?

Part 4 of my @arduino Make Your Uno Synth Shield experiments is a port of the "O2 Minipops" drum machine (simplified).

Have I just ported the O2 Minipops drum machine sketch over to my #MakeYourUno?

Maybe :)

Details to follow at some point...

Here's the second of my @arduino Make Your Uno synth shield experiments. This one is all about Mozzi, starting with the recommended sketch, some more examples, and finally my own 5-pot FM synth code.

Here are my first set of experiments for my @arduino Make Your Uno Synth Shield. This one is all about tones!

Having been pretty critical yesterday, I thought I'd be a bit nicer today and get it to play some Bach :)

Here is the first in a planned series of posts about the @arduino "Make Your Uno" Synth Board.

Warning: This first post is the critique (and although I really like this board, I am quite critical here) - to get that out of the way.

Future posts will move onto the fun stuff where I start to turn some of my existing projects over to run on the board.

We have noises!

Right, time to write-up where I've got to so far... then the real fun begins :)

Ok plan B is go.

#Arduino #MakeYourUno #Synthdiy

Ok. Anyone spot the flaw in my plan to use extended headers with the synth shield...?

Yep, that's right - no solder pads on the other side of the board!? Really @arduino? I so want to like this board and use it for more than just the basics!! :(

#Arduino #MakeYourUno #Synthdiy #NeedAPlanB

Right, I'm going to make a start on the synth shield, but not sure how far I'll get... I've nearly run out of solder!

Note: I plan to use extended headers rather than pin headers so I can use the GPIO pins!

#Arduino #MakeYourUno #Synthdiy

Success! Upload works and no magic smoke :)

#Arduino #MakeYourUno #Blink

That's the Uno built... now to find a USB C cable to plug it in...

(I'd have thought that at this price point it could have included a cable!?)

Still this is a really nice thing to build :)

#Arduino #MakeYourUno

Right. Ready to start!

I've finally got myself an @arduino Make Your Uno kit now they're available in the UK :)

I'm planning to adapt some of my projects to it :)

#MIDI #Arduino #Diysynth #MakeYourUno

Need a #MIDI interface for you nice, shiny, newly built @arduino #MakeYourUno Synth shield?

Here is my stackable, MIDI TRS interface shield using one of my MIDI Proto Shields.
