Hi Paul,

I want to experiment with the LED patterns that the miniATM displays so that I can get quicker feedback about what is going on. I have a couple of ideas in this area:

1: instead of showing the control / number combination in the usual way, I'd like to alternate between flashing *both* LEDs with the current digital function colour, alternating with using *both* LEDs to show the pattern number in base 4 (using the four most easily distinguishable colours that the LED can make) . Can you tell me where I'd look in the code to try this please?

2: I'm really enjoying my miniATM, using it mainly via MIDI. I'd like to hack the software further now, so that when pattern '0' is selected (i.e. no sequence is playing), I can use the LEDs to show when a MIDI message has been received. I think I need to hack minEngine.cpp to call a function that flashes an LED when MIDI signals come in - but I don't know what functions to call!

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Simon

Hello,

I've just built my miniAtmegatron, done the MIDI hack and am having great fun with it. One thing I can't figure out though is how to set the miniAtmegatron up so that the on-board sequencer isn't running but notes are triggered by MIDI - is this possible without changing the software - or can you give me some pointers as to what to change in the software if needed please?

Thanks for a great kit!

Simon
