MIDI Connections

With a few jumper connections, the board will boot up in MIDI mode that will read 'classic'

31250Kbaud MIDI data on a UART pin and act like a synth/drum machine - there are dozens

of built-in drum and sample effects.

Prepare the breadboard

Place the VS1053 breakout on the breadboard.

Center it so that there is one row of holes on

each side.

Add the breakout friendly headphone jack and

wire power and ground jumpers as shown.

VCC -> 5v

GND -> GND

Configure for MIDI operation

Add jumpers as follows:

GPIO-0 -> GND

GPIO-1 -> 3.3v

Rx -> Arduino Digital #2

RST -> Arduino Digital #9

Connect the Headphone Jack

Same as the earlier tests, add jumpers for:

AGND (v2) or GBUF (v1) -> Center

LOUT -> Left Pin

ROUT -> Right Pin
