USBMIDI on Blue Pill board...

[Angr77]

Hi!

First, I am quite new to this forum...but I have managed to get my blue pill board programmed over ST Link from Ardunio IDE 1.8.8. First I tried the blink example...and it working great on the Blue Pill.

But what I want to try is to see if the I can get the internal micro USB connector to run a small application that sends core midi information over the USB port. What I wanted to see if I can plug in the Blue Pill board to ipads, PC and see if the sequencer programs is able to handle Core Midi and get the info. I have tried this on a Ardunio Pro Micro...and it works great. Just plug in the Ipad or PC and it will receive the midi information sent by the Ardunio boards...

The code I have been trying is the following:

Code: Select all

#include 
#include 
MIDI_CREATE_DEFAULT_INSTANCE();
void setup() {
  MIDIUSB.begin(10);
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // play notes from F#-0 (0x1E) to F#-5 (0x5A):
    MIDIUSB.sendNoteOn(0x5A, 0x45, 0x90);   //(note, velocity, channel)  
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
    delay(2000);
    digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
    delay(2000);
}

But when trying to compile...the IDE just states…
Exit status 1
Error compiling for board Generic STM32F103C series.

Looking on the deatils in the logs...

Code: Select all

#error MIDIUSB can only be used with an USB MCU.
 #error "Unsupported architecture"

Do any body have any hints..? Is it my environment? Is not MIDIUSB supported? Or what…

That's the libary for avr arduinos, use this libary instead

Great advise! Big thanks!

There was a code example describing the midi-out function in the library. I tried this and added a blink function when the midi notes was triggered.

Code: Select all

#include 
const uint8_t notes[] = {60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 72, 61, 63, 66, 68, 70};
const int numNotes = sizeof(notes)/sizeof(*notes);
USBMIDI midi;
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
    USBComposite.setProductId(0x0031);
    midi.begin();
    delay(1000);
}
void loop() {
  for (int i=0;i

Results? - My goal was to try the Blue Pill board and if the STM32duino library did support usb-midi class compliant devices)
