MIDI Shield Trouble Shooting Help Reqested

Development Boards Arduino

Hello all

I’m using the MIDI Shield and have a sketch that sending a simple midi note on and off using the following commands

MIDI.sendNoteOn(60,100,1);

delay(500);

MIDI.sendNoteOff(60,0,1);

I also have configured the MIDI Shield for “Software Serial Port” following the directions posted on the “midi-shield-hookup-guide?” on Sparkfun.com.

Putting a scope on the Tx pin, I can see the packet data being transmitted, however I’m not getting the data out the MIDI out port. I can confirm this in two ways, first my midi receiver is not receiving any packets from the shield, and secondly using a scope I don’t see the same signal on any of the MIDI out connectors pins that is present on the Tx Pin.

My guess is that I have not correct configured the serial port correctly for “Software Serial Port”.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks all
