I found this thread quite useful for a project I'm working on (a midi controller that uses button presses from a single-button to control two separate teensy's and therefore, two separate computers at the same time).
However, I wanted to verify that using diodes like this are also a good way to connect a variable resistor to two separate teensy 3.2 boards. Same use case, computers need to get a midi signal at the same time and both need to operate independently if one fails.
I'm also wondering if I need a diode (5817) between the wiper + the power of the slide resistor and both boards. Thanks for any help you can offer. Relevant portion of schematic attached.
