Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm currently working on a project that includes both the TI-84 and my arduino.
So the entire premise of my project was to be able to hit any button that I assign on my TI-84 to send MIDI messages. I already completely understand the MIDI part, but what I'm missing is knowledge on how I'd be able to make my TI-84 trigger my code to send the MIDI messages for me.
For example, in a more rudimentary way, if we ignore the MIDI messages for now, if I wanted to turn an LED on and off by pressing "1" on my calculator, the code would look something like this
if( //[1 is triggered in TI-84] )
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH)
}
and with this, I could just replace this with sending my MIDI messages.
how would I be able to do this?
To try to accomplish this project, I've read quite a bit on this forum but I'm still kind of confused.
What I know currently:
I should probably be using an arduino library called ArTICL

I need an 2.5mm I/O cable to connect with my arduino
What I don't know:
Which pins do I connect my 2.5mm cable to? I know which cable is ground, but is there any tutorial out there that would be able to help me figure out which of the other two cables is which?
Will my 2.5mm cable work for this project? I'm using an old cheap white Xbox 360 headset jack.
What kind of software would I need to load to my TI-84?
How do I make it so I don't have to use the command "Send()" on the Ti-84, rather, I'd just simply have to press a single button to trigger the code to send MIDI data.
Is there anything out there that's more condensed than the Example code on "ControlLED" that only controls 1 LED? I'd like the code to be a little less complicated as I'm relatively new to all of this.
I'm really new to tinkering with my TI-84 so if there's any other advice or help you guys have too I'd be really grateful for it.
