I have taken delivery of a spanking new eBlock to do MIDI on but the test files do not work again on FC5.4 and I (once again!) removed FC4...

Any ideas of what's wrong and why it keeps happening to me? :-{

Hi James,

Here are versions of the MIDI test files which are written in v5.4 using the MIDI component.

The files Master and Slave show how to transmit and receive MIDI messages.

The files Master_HW and Slave_HW do exactly the same thing but I have switched the standard software UART for a more reliable hardware UART by slightly modifying the code in the defines macro for the MIDI component.

Let me know how you get on.

Ben you never let me down!

I'll let you know how they go...

Hi Ben,

Still not working - it can't find midi.c file...

Sorry about that there must still be a reference in the files to the include file which is present on my machine which explains why it was working for me.

If you go into Build -> Project options and untick the "Use supplementary code" then the reference to the external file should be removed and allow you to compile.

Hi Ben,

Thank you very much for that. It is showing an Error on the LCD but it does compile now and transfer correctly so I can keep going from here....

Have a good one and give yourself a pat on the back...

Best regards,
