I think for the encoder it needs a ADC board also (or it's the buttons? I'm not sure, the Enc is not digital in thoery??) , but it's an I2C related problem ( the pot is the only thing that I got working, with a definition of 1 Bit ![:lol:]( "Laughing")
) , Midi is the main focus here.
My biggest hurdle is to get a good working midi_handler.py script that can read and write to and from tx and rx and create a
Pi5 Midi Input and a Pi5 Midi output device / tree that can be used from the OS...
The OS create Midi port very easily when connecting a Usb midi card.
I have an Akai Midimix controller I normally use with my Win x86 laptop, usb, with plenty of controllers and buttons.
Also a Cre8Audio Eurorack Usb interface that I contacted and they told me I need Usb drivers from the Pi5 side to work, that has Midi also.
I'm trying different routes, generally speaking the Pi5 Usb-Midi works fine.
I'm still searching for some good guides for enabling the internal Midi, I enable raspi-config serial for now, installed midi-rt or rti-midi libs.
So in theory, all I need is to be able to write a good piece of code to tell the OS to use the TX and RX ports for the internal Midi.
On Windows is much easier because there are programs like Midi-loop that create Virtual Midi ports, on the Pi I think it's possible to do that with Pipewire, but I would need something like Virtual Midi loop in python if I can't do it with Pi OS config...
Time will tell... I am in no rush, it's just a small diy project. I'm having a lot of fun experimenting.
Cheers.
