    Hi all,

    when i try to verify or upload a MidiTutorial file from the MidiLibrary from the ruinwesen site i get the following error:

    /Applications/Arduino/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/libraries/Midi/MidiClock.cpp:3:21: error: helpers.h: No such file or directory

    I am using Arduino software 0017, and i'm pretty sure i copy'd all the files in the right directory's, contents/resources/java/hardware/cores for the arduinomidi folder and contents/resources/java/hardware/libraries for the library folders.
    I've also copy'd the boards.txt at the end of the original file that was already in the Arduino package.

    I'm on a Macbook running Leopard 10.5.8 and using the Diecimila with the ATmega 168 chip.
    What's wrong here?

    TIA!

    Hi jroen,

    I haven't tried the library with Arduino 0017. The helpers file is in the CommonTools directory and normally the environment should recognize it automatically. I think the location for libraries have changed in the new release, and they have to be in a libraries folder in your arduino folder. I will try to adapt the release for arduino 0017 and incorporate all the changes of the main branch, which has evolved dramatically since the last release. Also integrate the port for arduino mega, which is lying around here for a while.

    also, if you manage to get it to work, can you please post the answer here, that would be very much appreciated.

    Hi jroen, hi wesen,

    I managed to get mididuino working with Arduino 0017.
    Place the "arduinomidi" folder in Applications/Arduino0017/Ressources/Java/hardware/cores
    Also edit "boards.txt" in that directory.
    Then place the other part of the mididuino library in your arduino scketchbook. In my case:
    /Documents/Arduino/libraries
    Also copy helpers.h from the commontools directory into the Midi directory.

    Hope it helps.

    Hi Wesen,

    I simply follow the instruction that are in your dowwload ;-) (MidiDuino-arduinomidi-core/README-core).txt.
    I guess this add the 'Arduino xxx and Midi' as new "boards" in the Arduino interface.

    PS : by the way, you library rocks !!!! (I will have some questions so will come quite often ;-) ... you know ... arduino, CV/Gate, Modular Synth ... hum ....).
