Install:

1. [Arduino SDK][sdk]
2. [Adafruit LPD8806 library][LPD8806]. See [The Arduino Library Installation Guide][libraryinst].
3. [ino][ino]

Then:

1. `ino build`
2. `ino upload`

Resources
---------

There's info about reading MIDI data over USB with the Arduino acting as the host in a few places around the web:

- [Circuits@Home][cah]
- [Collin's Lab][collin]
- [USB MIDI Driver for Arduino USB Host Shield][usbhmidi]
- Project report at [Electronic Delectables][delect]
- Becoming a class-compliant USB MIDI device (but not a host) can be achieved
using [HIDUINO][hiduino]
