I’ve got most things working on my new Daisy Pod––Flashing the device via make program-dfu works; reading log messages via serial device works; Audio in and out seems to work fine;
Unfortunately, MIDI data doesn’t seem to reach the device–at least, not using the pod/Midi example. I’ve instrumented it with PrintLine statements, but hw.midi.HasEvents() is never true.
I’ve tested that the MIDI output from my MIDI controller is working on other devices and if I plug the MIDI cable into the audio input of the Daisy Pod, I can hear the noise of the MIDI signal; but, no joy in the actual MIDI input.
Is this a known issue with this device? Is there a workaroud? Do I have a bad unit?
How are you getting MIDI to the Mini TRS plug? An adapter cable or does your MIDI device use TRS? Either way, it needs to be a ‘Type A’ cable or adapter - the difference is whether the Tip or Ring pin is active. If your MIDI is on 5 pin ‘DIN’ and you’'re using an adapter, Electro-Smith sells the correct adapter:
TRS 3.5MM MIDI ADAPTER
Here’s an article about TRS and the different MIDI ‘standards’ for it - type A, B and C.

I don’t know that is your problem, but it seems like a possibility, and I think your test using the audio in would work with either type A or B, but the midi signal would only work with type A.
