I struggled with the MIDI input all day. The solution was to build the circuit on a solderless breadboard and copy it into the device components. One issue I did not predict was using a 270Ω resistor to pull up the incoming data line. I used a 10KΩ one before, but that produced unusable data.
I recalled my notes and pictures to ensure I had captured all the changes so far. The drawing expanded to include the encoders' pull-up resistors, and I triple-checked the MIDI input circuit so I could build it flawlessly next time.
I made a road map for the programming by listing the menu options. Some of the categories are expansive, but there are numerous subcategories, and others are commands like bypass or PANIC.
I found a program that generated Arduino code for interactive menus. I watched part of the tutorial video and started building my menu structure. I tried to compile the code, but it would not work. More research needed.
I kept researching the compilation error and tried a few fruitless techniques, but the winner came from a post stating that the troublesome variable was removed in the latest major revision for ESP32 boards on Arduino. So I downgraded it, and the compilation worked! I can see and navigate the menu on my device.
On Critical Affection, we talked to Braxton A. Cosby about his book series Broken, a zombie apocalypse book, and The Walking Dead.
The rest of the summary posts have been arranged by date.
