Beginner Needs Help Installing MIDI to GBA Code on ATMega168

Hi guys…

I’m new to this and need some assistance with installing MIDI to GBA code on an ATMega168.

Could someone guide me through the process? Any tips or step-by-step instructions would be incredibly helpful. I’m particularly interested in understanding the setup, necessary tools, and any common pitfalls to avoid.

First, make sure you have an ATMega168, a MIDI interface, and a programmer like USBasp. Install the AVR toolchain on your PC, then grab the MIDI to GBA code and compile it—just follow the readme instructions closely. Flashing the code is the next step: connect your ATMega168 to the programmer and use software like AVRDude to upload the code. One thing I learned the hard way was to be careful with fuse settings; they can cause issues if set wrong. Also, double-check your connections to avoid problems. It might seem tricky at first, but it gets easier with practice.
