Schematic

Hi! Do you plan to publish the schematic for your project?

I've been struggling with NTS-1 for days and days and your resource seems to be the best analysis/documentation out there.

I'm just trying to make the STM32F103C8T6 "Blue Pill" to work with NTS-1. I was even able to compile and upload the original nts-1-customizations code to it (by changing includes and changing pins; I'm trying to use the SPI1 instead of SPI2). But when I connect everything, it simply does nothing (a MIDI device doesn't even appear on the computer connected to NTS-1). So maybe I connected things incorrectly.

You mention that you lost several days because you didn't connect all the pins properly. Maybe I got something similar.

I also have an ESP-WROOM-32 board from DOIT but I have zero documentation on it, so I don't even know what pins can be used for SPI.

All in all, I'm just desperate to find some setup that does something. As long as it initializes NTS-1 and gets ready to exchange SPI messages, I'm down to reverse-engineer them if the NTS-1 library doesn't work. But I don't have much experience programming SPI (other than using SPI displays, where everything's done by libraries), so this initial setup is being a big pain.

Anyway, thank you for this repo, it's been a huge help!
