ESP32-S3 as an USB midicontroller.

Hi,

I am a very lousy guitar player who likes to play around more with electronics than actually play. :slight_smile:

POC is to try and turn a simple ESP32-S3 into an USB MIDI controller, to be used by something like Guitarrig as an input for knobs.

Started out with platformio, but it became to much of a hassle with compatible frameworks/libraries and what you have. Went back to the Arduino IDE and it worked like a charm!

See attached video, serial port communication on one USB port of the S3, the other one pretending to be a USB MIDI device which is recognised by Guitarrig 7 as a midi controller.

Leuk gedaan!
Was platformio zo’n gedoe?

Ik ben platformio fan, ik help graag.

Heb je een repo op github met code oid, dan kan ik wel een platformio config in elkaar zetten. Dan moet ik wel weten exact welk microcontroller-bordje het is, en welk libraries je gebruikt.
