Hey guys,
We (my partner and I) have written a small computer application for sending and receiving info via System Exclusive (SysEx) through a midi to usb converter on my midi LED project. We can transfer info to the atmega128 through the midi connection but since there is no TX connection we can not pull info off of the chip.
Ed (programmer/partner) says that it works if he shorts the RX and TX pins, but I can't imagine that that is a viable way to accomplish this. Is there a way to do this and protect the pins? A diode maybe?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
