Midi2GPIO

Python application that hosts a virtual MIDI port using rtmidi and sends received messages to Raspberry's GPIO. Tested using RPI 3

Setting Up

• You will need a MIDI DIN connector, a 220Ω resistor and a MIDI cable to connect your RPI's GPIO to your synths. This scheme works well.
• Run make install in the project's folder.

Running

• Set GPIO_PIN and PORT_NAME in config.py as you need
• Run make run in the project's folder.
• Use aconnect -l to list your current MIDI ports and connect using aconnect (your midi source:port) (midi port created by this application:port). Reference: https://linux.die.net/man/1/aconnect
