2024-12-14 (Sa) EWC_Noodle Sound works!

I did a quick-and-dirty mod to the Arduino MultiSerial example so it would send a MIDI signal whenever I sent data from the computer. I was pleasantly shocked that I heard sound immediately! The max volume was underwhelming, but it would be fine for a quiet room, which is how I planned to use the EWC_Noodle. I implemented the potentiometer I installed to change velocity and discovered that I wired it backward, but that was no trouble to fix in the code.

I want to seal up the guitar, but I still have some fixes to perform on the inside. The biggest problem was the battery board, and a little research suggested that there was no boost circuit to convert the battery to 5V, which I had expected. Another purchaser had the same problem. I searched my stock and found a small boost converter. I have a hefty list of things to fix and finish before I reclose the guitar. I opened my button reading code and added a rule to play a MIDI note when I moved the paddle to test functionality while doing the final touches to the innards.
