Hello there,

We're two guys from Holland trying to construct the CDJ 800 Midi Conversion, a project

The source code we used is mentioned in this video on Youtube:

We use Arduino 1.8.2, and followed the software installation steps
mentioned on this page:
https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html

As you could guess, we're two newbees and tried to assemble this
project, but we encountered a strange problem.

When we choose the midi option in Arduino, the serial monitor, after uploading our sketch to the teensy 3.2 usb micro controller, indicates a com- port connection, however, in the tools section of Arduino, it appears as an emulated serial. We can't connect and we dont get anything out of the CDJ800, no button seems to function.

However, what's very strange, in the beginning, when we first tested the circuit on windows 10, with an emulated serial connection, many functions seemed to work fine. After we tried different settings, it went dead and that's were we are now.

We can't change the emulated serial into a working com port, because it's greyed out.

We used both Windows 8 & 10.

We would much appreciate all the help we could get, for we are newbees with the teensy 3.2 and pretty stuck!!!

Use Tools > USB Type to select "Serial + MIDI". Then upload your program again. This will cause Teensy to act as USB MIDI and a real COM port.

When using pre-10 versions of Windows, please be aware there's a very confusing bug in the Windows serial driver. It's triggered when you unplug the cable while the COM port is open, or when you have a non-Arduino program using the COM port when Arduino uploads.
