MIDI for the Arduino - Circuit Analysis

A detailed analysis of a Midi Input and Output circuit for the Arduino

[SL-jmrt]

This is one of the most clear tutorials I've ever watched. Thank you for the time, detail and clarity. +1 sub.

Good job. While it will work fine and not damage anything, the schematic in the video is slightly wrong compared to the actual MIDI standard. It is missing one 220 ohm resistor on the TX pin on output side. That will add up to the correct 660 ohms in series when driven from 5V, and not 440 ohms. The current also drops to more like 5 mA, which is the proper value.

What can i say you are the best teacher ever i have seen you do not assume that anyone "must or should know this or that" you do it from grass Exceptional, wish the videos help all. Even those having no background could get all of this....thank you

THE best explanation of the MIDI interface. Saved my neck already!

[tinagolph]

Your video is very enjoyable to watch. the explanations are easy to understand and for someone whose English is not the native language, your English is perfect.
thank you

Just found your channel yesterday and wanted to say you are a great teacher. I've always been stumped on how to figure out when and where to use certain components like diodes and capacitors in a circuit, but you have made it very easy to understand. Subscribed and will be watching more. Thank you!

Came here looking for why you need the optocoupler on the midi in. Now I know how that entire circuit works. Excellent video, keep them coming!

Currently studying electronics engineering, attempting a homebrewed project, I can't express enough how clear your explanation of the circuit is. Congratulations for real!!! (instant sub)

This taught me so much more than what I was wanting to know. Great

[markfdesimone]

This video was excellent! I rarely find resources that do such a good job of demystifying something.

[svonk]

The most well documented video I ever watched. Congratulations.

Thank you very much . You have opened a door for me to enter into the world of MIDI & Arduino . Very much appreciated .

[erichimmelblau]

Wow, very well explained. I rarely like videos, but this one definitely deserves one.

This is amazing. I'm building an Arduinoboy and this just helped me understand what the hell I am actually doing.

this is one of the best things i've ever seen on youtube. great work.

As happens frequently with such things, I knew most of it already. It's always nice to have all the various gaps in my knowledge filled in and integrated.

Most importantly; the style and manner of your presentation is simply marvelous: perfect pacing, pleasing little animated flourishes, and seamless repetition and summarization.

YouTube originally served me an episode later in the series, and I'm glad I decided to load the Playlist and watch all of your videos on this subject.

What a magnificent explanation. You've earned an Argentine subscriber. Nice work.

[konstanzification]

Thank you so much for all the midi videos, I've been watching midi videos for the past few days and yours are the best!!!! Thank

[litalienvisual]

Great explanations, it really helpsunderstanding the MIDI In circuitry based on the 6N138
