Forgive my ignorance in electronics. I know (next to) nothing about all this. I have however altered some example code to do what I want it to do. It works great! This is a simple MIDI sketch that uses 5 buttons and a toggle switch to send program changes. When the toggle switch is enabled it changes what program changes are sent.Thus giving me 10 different program changes. I have the on-board led light turning on when I turn on the toggle switch letting me know I'm in the 2nd bank of programs. My question is, do I need some sort of resister when using a regular LED light? I have some left over LEDs from an Arduino UNO kit that I got about a year ago and never used. They have 2 long leads on them. One shorter than the other. Can I just connect the ground and pin 13 to the LED and make this work? I appreciate any help you can give this novice. I'm using a Teensy 3.2. Here is the code I've hobbled together. Thanks.
/* Simple Teensy DIY USB-MIDI controller.
Created by Liam Lacey, based on the Teensy USB-MIDI Buttons example code.
Contains 8 push buttons for sending MIDI messages,
and a toggle switch for setting whether the buttons
send note messages or CC messages.
The toggle switch is connected to input pin 0,
and the push buttons are connected to input pins 1 - 8.
You must select MIDI from the "Tools > USB Type" menu for this code to compile.
To change the name of the USB-MIDI device, edit the STR_PRODUCT define
in the /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/teensy/avr/cores/usb_midi/usb_private.h
file. You may need to clear your computers cache of MIDI devices for the name change to be applied.
