using Arduino Nano

[reformy]

Hello,

I have some nanos sitting here. Can I use them instead of the micro? The main issues here, I think, are:

• is the wiring the same?

• is the code the same?

if so – I can simply edit the stl to make longer room for the board, and that should be enough.

Thanks,

Yair

The Pro Micro is specifically needed in this case because it natively supports the USB HID profile, which is necessary to have the device recognized as a MIDI controller.

In years past you could use a board based on the older Atmel chips and “bit bang” the USB messages but for the most part that no longer works.  You need to use a 32u4 or SAM based board in order to have native HID support.
