Connect two MIDIboxes

MIDIbox NG
1

Hey people,

 

I’m looking for a solution to combine the fast scanning speed of the MB_KB app and the features of NG. With that said, I want to use two STM32F4. One is running NG and one is running KB. 

Is there a simple way to connect the KB to NG without using MIDI? I read about the CAN-protocol, but I’m not sure, if the STM supports this method and it’s even not clear to me, how this connection should work. 

 

Thanks!
Chris

(box1) DIN <- DOUT (box2)

Depends on how complex the data structures are, that you need to send, but setting up s.th. with a simple pulsed clock and maybe parallel data transfers should be < 50 lines of code on both ends :smile:

(i never said how long those lines are :-))
