oops…

no real progress, it turns out the guitar does not like to have it’s voltage reversed… so i’ve got a new one. the store was kind enough to let me swap it out. other than that testing was going well.

i think i’m getting some kind of interferance with all the serial transmissions going on. serial.print, shiftOut, shiftIn, (potentially PS2), are all getting in the way of the serial communication that needs to be perfect for the midi to work right. I’m getting notes occasionally, but theres gibberish going down the line too.

hopefully i can work out the bugs tonight. i’ll be separating the program into chunks to find where the real problem is. i may not be getting good data from the guitar. maybe hooking it up to 3.3v will help…
