Software1) Arduino Software - Download

2) JDK 7u4 with NetBeans 7.1.2 - 32 bit Download 64 bit Download Windows3) Arduino Moppy Download

4) Timer 1 - Download5) MoppyDesk Download

6) RXTXcomm Serial Driver - Download

Optional Software



Midi Song Pack

Step 1. first get your power supply and look at the 24 pin cable plug now put wire from GREEN wire to BLACK wire as shownon the image.

Connect these two wires will my the power park activated.

Step 2. now look back floppy drive there should 34 for pin the the floppy cable shown on the image.There 2 rows on pins

2 to 34 Pin (Red) Active Pin 1 to 33 Ground (Black)

Step 3A. Take a Floppy Drive cable cut end of it the size with twist in the cable (1.)



Step 3B. Cable with end off



Step 3C. now street the cable



Step 3D. now cut down the cable so you have 34 cables (be very careful as the blade very sharp)



when finish cutting look look this



Step 4. now count the wire you cut and get 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 20 starting for left side (yellow dote end top at the red line)

over wires you cut then off or been over and on type on them



Step 5. now connect 11 and 12 giverthen

now connect 17 and 19 giver

pin 18, 20 for Arduino



A, floppy B mode to activate it The light of the floppy drive should turn on made it in mode BB, floppy Direction

C, floppy StepD, Floppy Grounds

Step 6, now do step 3 to step 5, 5 more time

Step 7, now take your cable and power cable and plug then into floppy drive



some floppy drive cable have one pin cover so you have had to drill it out with 1 or 1.5 drill ( very care when doing this as only wantthe cover )

Step 8. now take your Arduino and put the wire form the floppy into it



A, put the Foppey Ground to - Ground of the ArduinoB, put the 17 pin cable to pin 3C, put the 20 pin cable to pin 2

D, Don't do anythen it this

( I only done one drive here but same thing for all driver)

20 pin cable to pin 417 pin cable to pin 5

20 pin cable to pin 617 pin cable to pin 7

and so on Arduino 13 pin max

FloppyDrive 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6

Step 9 Establish a connection to your Arduino.

Download, Arduino Software - Download and Timer 1 - Download and Arduino Moppy Download

First thing install Arduino Software (Guide Here) after finish

download Timer 1 and it in (Documents\Arduino\libraries)

Download Arduino Moppy and put in Go to (Documents\Arduino)

step 10, now open Arduino software and open your Arduino Moppy



Step 11, next upload this to Arduino by using icon or ctrl + u



Step 12, now download JDK 7u4 with NetBeans 7.1.2 - 32 bit Download 64 bit Download Windows and installed it

Step 13, next download RXTXcomm Serial Driver - Download

Step 14, now go to C:\Program Files\JavaI have two file always get highs one ( jdk1.8.0_05)



open the file jre

open the file lib



cope the RXTXcomm to this folder



now back one so in jdk1.8.0_05\jre



and then open binnow cope the rxtxParallel.dll and rxtxSerial.dll



Step 15, now open NetBeans open file go down to import project then form zip



now click cancel

now close the project



Step 16, Download MoppyDesk Download now go to documents and find NetBeansProjects and open the file

now cope MoppyDesk to this folder



Step 17, now open NetBeans and file then open project ( ctrl + shift + o )



now click moppydesk then open project



Step 18, now click the play icon

now should have box come up



Step 18, playing

Fist look top said Arduino port this it the com port you upload code earlier (Step 11) to Arduino

then click connect

click load sequence



now get your song some mid in moppydesk or Midi Song Pack

click song then open



then click start

Congratulations!!! You have now a musical floppy...
