Is it possible to send and recieve MIDI data over a BlueSMiRF device?
Here's a brief overview of MIDI, taken from a post by brennen:
MIDI is actually TTL level (GND and +5V), and indeed is asynchronous serial at one start bit, 8 data bits, one stop bit, and 31.25 kbaud-
Links for more info:
http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midispec.htm (particularly the hardware link)
It looks like everything is compatable with the possible exception of the baud rate--31.25 is not a standard rate, and the datasheet for the BlueSMiRF does not list a value for 31.25.
I suspect that a ascii value of 130 would result in a baud rate of 31.20 which might be within the margin of error, particluarly for send.
If that worked, then the hardware connection (as described in the link above) would be trivial.
Any thoughts? Is it possible to set the UART in the device to a non-documented value like this?
Thanks in advance.
