MIDI over SPI instead of UART

Post by AmazingCircuitPythonFR35 »

Hello

The VS1053B component can be driven from the UART or from the SPI. I would like to use it in MIDI via the SPI bus. However, the Adafruit Midi bookstore is based only on UART.
Is there a possibility to use the SPI to send Midi codes to the VS1053B circuit?

Thanks.

Mike

The Adafruit examples are all MIDI using software serial.

You can see some success stories on the VSDSP forums of people getting SPI MIDI going.
