the same wiring works for input in most situations, but if you want to follow the MIDI spec the input should have galvanic isolation by using an optocuopler like this: wiring output

Basic usage


//Set the midi in and midi out pins
midiInOut.setMidiInPin(SerialPin.P0)
midiInOut.setMidiOutPin(SerialPin.P1)

//Send notes (note number, velocity, duration, midi channel)
midiInOut.sendNote(45,127,100,1)

// Act on incoming MIDI messages
midiInOut.onReceiveNoteOn(function (channel, noteNumber, velocity) {
    basic.showNumber(noteNumber)
})
