[sdiy] Rainy Sunday project

[Neil Johnson]

Hi,

After being inspired by Chris Strellis at this year's Synth DIY UK  
event I decided to have a go at building a MIDI interface for my Palm  
Vx.  After taking the lady wife out for Sunday lunch I spent some  
time in the workshop putting it together and testing it out.

The schematic is here:

It is small enough that I built mine into a standard 9-way D- 
connector shell.

I tried the Beat Pad sequencer from Mini Music.  The demo is limited  
in not saving sequences.
See here:

The result: a lot of fun!

Neil
