sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev

Thanks for sharing such a brilliant and simple idea that everyone else missed.

Happy that it helps you :) Probably that lib is needed for the AUR package too. If you want to add a Debian/Ubuntu section to the README, i would appreciate a PR.

Hi Jikstra,

I'll figure out how to do a PR and make it so once I have your code up and running.

I have a Yamaha PSR-520 keyboard that I'm hoping to connect with a laptop running Ubuntu 21.04 via a USB serial dongle+interface and your serial2midi driver. The AliExpress midi lead I bought only functions sometimes from the keyboard to the PC, I suspect due to the baud rate being slightly off as there is no visible crystal on the PCB. So, I would like to try your approach while I wait for a Roland UM-One midi lead to arrive. We're in Covid lockdown in New Zealand at the moment, it could be a while coming.

I've hit a bit of a road block running your code going the route: git clone https://github.com/jikstra/serial2midi.git ; pip install -r dependencies.txt I get a runtime error as follows: @.***:~/Projects/serial2midi$ python3 main.py /dev/ttyUSB0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/richard/Projects/serial2midi/main.py", line 175, in main() File "/home/richard/Projects/serial2midi/main.py", line 172, in main serial_to_midi.run() File "/home/richard/Projects/serial2midi/main.py", line 70, in run virtualMidiInput = rtmidi.MidiIn() AttributeError: module 'rtmidi' has no attribute 'MidiIn'

I get the same error whether running Ubuntu 21.04 on RaspberryPi4 or my Intel laptop. There seem to be at least three rtmidi libraries for python. I thought I would check with you before diving in too deep. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that you may have regarding where to look to solve the problem.

Regards

Richard Jones

@radionerd oh yes, it was old/wrong dependencies. Somehow the python ecosystem is quite confusing, a lot of very similiar named libraries, that even have the same name when imported, but have different apis. It's annoying. I updated dependencies.txt, have a look if that works for you now. Maybe first run pip uninstall serial && pip uninstall rtmidi and then after a pull, again the pip install -r dependencies.txt. The correct names of the needed modules is pyserial and python-rtmidi.
