Re: Ghetto MT32-Pi

I've been iterating on the cable design for this, and the best I've been able to come up with is this: H0Worb6.jpeg Easy to plug in and pretty clean - just made with a ribbon cable and dupont crimper (they run about $20-30 on Amazon if you don't have one). And in a pinch those single pin dupont cables "jumper wires" work great! Honestly, ...

ClumsyMIDI looks really nice too. I guess you'll use a USB to Midi converter? That will be pretty slick I bet, please post when you get it all done!

Re: Connect MT32-pi hat without I/O board?

Finally got around to putting together a Dupont cable. Turned out pretty good, although the RPi side doesn't have all the pins together, so I did a 3 pin connector, a 2 pin, and two 1 pin connectors. In practice this is still a lot nicer (especially on the MiSTer side,) though the previous solution with jumper cables worked too - if that is what yo...

Re: Connect MT32-pi hat without I/O board?

@cognitivegears Did mine all with single straight jumper wires, so it's a bit dumpy...wouldn't mind something a little cleaner. Happen to have a link to the cable you bought? Here is the ones I am using currently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H9T7H34 I just left this as a ribbon instead of splitting into separate jumpers. That said, tomorr...

Re: Connect MT32-pi hat without I/O board?

Also a few pictures of my (currently ugly but functional) setup. Linked instead of images so people who don't want them can scroll on by. :) Setup: 6idHRN7.jpg (the two pins left dangling are for the 5V and RX that I didn't end up using) Raspberry PI side: 5BUZT6U.jpg MiSTer side: NKFS3he.jpg (ignore the pin pulling out here, it was just moved arou...

Re: Connect MT32-pi hat without I/O board?

this is cool I have a SC55mkII on my desk i use for old dos games, besides a smaller formfactor would pi-mt32 give me other advantages with mister? Several potentially: You can install your own soundfonts for general midi, and you can install multiple ROMs for the MT32 side. Also it routes the sound back to the DE10Nano and is mixed with other sou...

Re: Connect MT32-pi hat without I/O board?

Yes! I just got this working last night in fact. This works fantastic. I didn't have an I/O board (no real need currently besides,) nor the mt-32pi hat. I was able to hook this up with just a bare PI and bare de-10 nano. A couple of notes: * The user port connection page has been updated with Pinout information, perfect for what we want to do. * I ...
