AUnit VS Arduino-AppleMIDI-Library

To give some context, ESPecial is an Arduino based firmware that gives you the possibility to control your esp32 via a web interface or telegram bot, and add dynamically all kind of automations. It’s a bit like ESP-Home, but without the compilation step (and far from having all its features!). It has nice features like web socket, Camera, Matt and more. The thing is that the whole code is not tested, I’m a web developer and never done C++ so when I started that project I just wanted something working for my prototypes. Now that I want the thing to be more robust, I’d like to implement unit/functional tests. I found this: https://github.com/bxparks/AUnit and of course the Expressif IDF page on the subject: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/unit-tests.html But I’m curious about what you guys could suggest, what would be the best option for this project? Thanks for your help!

I‘ve used https://github.com/bxparks/AUnit in combination with the arduino framework. Worked very well.

I'll post the whole thing in a separate message. I've already modified it a little, because there seems to be a quirk in the rtpMIDI implementation that seems to not send a second MIDI message if two of the same type are sent in sequence in the program. Even a few milliseconds delay between them seems to fix it. Here's the github link to the original.

Changing the order of libraries didn't change anything. BUT with that in mind, I tried disabling one of the libraries I wasn't using at the moment: AppleMIDI. The flashing mostly stopped. It flashed for a few times in the beginning, and then stopped almost completely.

Just a thought, in a future build you could go totally wireless (theoretically) if you use: - an ESP8266 or ESP32 with wireless MIDI and - MIDI mixer on Windows.

Just FYI, network MIDI is a thing and you may want to look into it if you haven't before.

As a bonus, the controller I'm using (ESP-01) also has Wi-Fi, so I added on the AppleMIDI library for receiving wireless MIDI (and sending, too, if I so choose). As a final touch I added VirtuinoCM to switch between 3 modes: - MIDI-response - some generic animations - manual colour control.

This is the sketch that worked for me pretty much out of the box. Mac OS has built-in support for Wi-Fi MIDI, but in Windows you'll need to install rtpMIDI. Once the Arduino sketch is loaded and running, rtpMIDI is installed, and both the computer and ESP32 are connected to the same network, the ESP32 should show up in the rtpMIDI control panel.
