help purchasing Adafruit 8x8 NeoTrellis M4 Kit Pack and Adafruit NeoTrellis M4 Kit Pack

Post by Burla22 »

good morning, my name is Emanuele and I'll start by apologizing but I don't know if I've created a double topic, but I can't find the topics.

there are three questions:
1 Do the following products communicate via MIDI USB?

2 I also use Max4live, am I able to load the firmware for Monome?

3 What if major changes need to be made in the code?
I'm not very familiar with Arduino.

Thank you Emanuele

The 8x8 NeoTrellis M4 Kit Pack:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/1929
is essentially four NeoTrellis tiles:

There's a general guide here on NeoTrellis:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neotrellis

The 8x8 NeoTrellis M4 Kit Pack also comes with a Feather M4:

but other boards can be used to control the NeoTrellis's. See the general NeoTrellis guide for basic usage.

The NeoTrellis M4 Kit Pack:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/4020
is a little different. It contains a NeoTrellis main board:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3938
which has the buttons and the controller (M4) all on one board.
There's a general guide for the NeoTrellis M4 here:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neotrellis-m4

1 Do the following products communicate via MIDI USB?
They can. It just requires the correct firmware loaded. Look through these guides as potential examples.

2 I also use Max4live, am I able to load the firmware for Monome?
Probably not? Not sure what Monome is, but unlikely it is firmware that is built for, or supports, the Adafruit products.
3 What if major changes need to be made in the code?
I think same answer as 1.
