# Pi-Pico-ExpressionPedal2Midi
#
# using USB midi. Midi messages are sent simultaneoulsy to UART1 and USB.
# Set desired midi channel, change control, and maximum and minimum values
#
# Upon run/power on, move expresson pedal from maximum to minimum to calibrate
# your pedal. CC commands will immediately start sending once calibrated.
