My electronics skills are not great, but I am trying to learn as much about this as I can. I believe I can figure out the coding, but I still don't understand what needs to be setup to communicate with the chip. I have been working with the Arduino, and I have been able to write some code to get the MIDI I/O working. But aside from a degree in electrical engineering, where would be a good place for me to start understanding how you are accessing the chip?<br /><br />Also, does this run off of the power supplied to Arduino, or do you have have a separate power source for the NES stuff?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07767264160531986679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013321629326850952.post-75535805759828158572014-01-31T17:59:04.649-06:002014-01-31T17:59:04.649-06:00+1 for using MidiBox.

MidiBox is a great ecosystem so it may see a bit more success that way, but on the other hand, is more complex to use and doesn't have as friendly of a toolchain as Arduino.<br /><br />Either way, I'm quite excited too! I finally have a good desoldering gun to rescue a 2A03 from a busted NES mainboard and have been thinking about how I could go about making an NES and, turns out, you did a lot of the work already!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282955036067528496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013321629326850952.post-43440802183774923152013-12-24T19:30:56.191-06:002013-12-24T19:30:56.191-06:00Github must be having a problem, down again, not j...Github must be having a problem, down again, not just your file but all of it. will try back.<br />YogiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013321629326850952.post-6769218691182049562013-12-23T23:23:34.408-06:002013-12-23T23:23:34.408-06:00Thanks.

It w...Thanks. Looks like the link is working now. <br /><br />It would probably be a bit simpler of a design and perform better with the MidiBox. The PIC it uses is much faster than the Arduino (40 vs 16 MHz) and there's probably enough I/O to interface to the 2A03 without the shift registers.. <br /><br />The code could probably port without too much trouble (there's not really much to it). I don't have much experience with PICs or MB though.Nathaniel Shiftmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481292350575189257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013321629326850952.post-92119230059576302862013-12-23T14:08:56.405-06:002013-12-23T14:08:56.405-06:00So glad to hear updates are coming!

Been watching with interest; the hardware would make a good interface with a MidiBox core(?).<br />Just a note: GitHub seems to be down ATM, will try later.<br />YogiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
