I would recommend purchasing a cable with the correct ‘Type A’ specs. They are available on our website as well as the major musical instrument supply sites.
Thank you @chrisk , super helpful. Ordered one (unfortunately the shipping costs from c&g were prohibitively expensive, understandable though). Hope it works!
puredata can read arduino directly… Maybe more work to do but the reward would be to have much more resolution (and less latency) in case that you are using analog sensors. 10 bit res – 1024 values
