Guitar hero as -standalone- MIDI device! Works on iPhone!

July 18, 2015Arduino, music, retrointerfacesguitar hero, usb midi

The world has seen some versions of the guitar hero controller used for live music. Most versions included a MAX/MSP patch or other software running on a computer. In this retro-interface I’m looking at a different option, connecting the guitar as standalone USB MIDI device, so it can be connected to iphone directly!

Two components are used:  a standard Arduino Leonardo board and a standard USB host shield. The not-guite-USB plug that comes with the controller is replaced by a (color-wire) compatible standard USB-A plug. The software in the Leonardo does the rest. Libraries arcore and USB-host shield have been used straight from the repositories and everything was compiled using a fresh arduino 1.6.4 install (tested on linux and OSX)
