Since this guitar is intended to be used in an ectronic music environment, it has to communicate with the rest of the gear, at least to get a clock signal on which it can synchronise it's actions.


There are two output jacks, one is a 6.3mm stereo jack for the guitar signal. The other one is a RJ45 jack wich combines the two USB-Ports from the Arduino Due and the Teensy 3.6 as well as a power line (two wires for Due, two for the Teensy, two for +5V and two for Ground).

The Guitar communicates via the OSC-protocoll to a PureData-Patch which is connected to other gear. The two microntroller are also connected together via serial port.




Here is the adaptor on the other side
