Projects involving circuits, sensors, microcontrollers, MIDI hardware, or any logic‑driven physical mechanism. Covers both analog and digital builds, from simple LED gadgets to complex control systems.

MIDI in/thru interface

The circuit receives MIDI data from a panel‑mounted MIDI IN jack, isolates it through a 6N138 optocoupler, conditions the signal using a 74HC14 Schmitt inverter, and distributes four identical copies to panel‑mounted THRU jacks. A 7805 linear regulator provides a stable 5 V supply for all logic components. The MatrixPortal, Arduino, Raspberry PI, or other logic board receives the same cleaned MIDI signal for lyric display or other processing.
