TRS MIDI

My Waveshare 4.3B arrived and everything works perfectly!
I have a question: is it possible to add 1/8” (3.5mm) TRS MIDI input and output connectors in Waveshare 4.3B?

Hi. Its possible to add Midi input, refer here:
https://github.com/Builty/TonexOneController/blob/main/HardwarePlatforms.md#midi

The 4.3B is a little difficult as it needs an extra PCB to convert protocols. The FeatherWing board has the option to fit 3.5mm sockets.

In terms of Midi output, this is not currently supported, but I have had a number of requests so it might happen.

If you wanted to check out an existing custom pcb design for adding TRS MIDI, check out the Pirate MIDI Polar GitHub repository and you can find the schematics and other files.
