My first goal was sending MIDI data to the PC.
MIDI is a pretty basic serial protocol transmitting data with 31250 baud.
For testing purposes i send data at 9600 baud via the arduinos serial interface to a software called [http://projectgus.github.io/hairless-midiserial Hairless MIDI].
This will be changed in the future.

All of the inner parts of the Super Nintendo have been removed.
This includes the controller ports, the main PCB, the top dark-grey panel and also some plastic struts.

Milestones

1. sending MIDI

My first goal was sending MIDI data to the PC. MIDI is a pretty basic serial protocol transmitting data with 31250 baud. For testing purposes i send data at 9600 baud via the arduinos serial interface to a software called Hairless MIDI. This will be changed in the future.

2. preparing the case

All of the inner parts of the Super Nintendo have been removed. This includes the controller ports, the main PCB, the top dark-grey panel and also some plastic struts. The (still working) parts will be put into a new fancy case to give this classic console a new life.

3. cutting the faceplate
