Adding MIDI to an organ pedal keyboard with Raspberry Pi Pico and CircuitPython #CircuitPython #MIDI @diyelectromusic

diyelectromusic on Twitter has added MIDI to an old organ pedal keyboard using a Raspberry Pi Pico programmed in CircuitPython.

Quite a number of years ago, I found an old set of organ pedals and MIDI’d them up by the crude method of wiring the pedal switches onto the connectors for the keys of an old Amstrad MIDI keyboard… It was the technology and expertise I had at the time!

I stumbled across them a few weeks back in the garage and thought it was time to bring the idea back to life with a microcontroller.
