CircuitPython USB MIDI to serial MIDI converter for Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040)
# CircuitPython USB MIDI to serial MIDI converter for Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040).
# IMPORTANT! Should *only be used for MIDI in*, i.e. from USB devices to hardware
# MIDI synths, and *not* in the opposite direction. Doing so could risk damage to
# the microcontroller, your computer, or both.
# Wire a 10Ω resistor from the Tx pin on the Raspberry Pi Pico or other
# RP2040 board to the 3.5mm stereo jack tip, a 33Ω resistor from the 3v3 pin on
# the Raspberry Pi Pico to the 3.5mm stereo jack ring, and the ground pin on the
# Raspberry Pi Pico to the 3.5mm stereo jack sleeve.
