MIDI SWITCH

 The basic functions of the MIDI switch prototype work well. I'm still developing the system but at the same time, I'm redesigning the printed circuit board. 

The prototype was developed from an Intel OEM FPGA module placed on a motherboard that I created myself. On this motherboard, four connectors connect four small printed circuits each supporting four RJ45 sockets, for a total of sixteen ports.

This way of doing things was perfect for a prototype but not at all suitable for a finished product.
What I particularly appreciate is making it as simple as possible. And since the study from the prototype I experimented with a new type of FPGA more practical to use than Intel circuits, I took the opportunity to redesign the entire switch on a single printed circuit :

The circuit used will allow me to route the MIDI ports but also to perform some processing on the MIDI data. Everything will be programmable using, I hope, a small software running on PC and potentially on MAC.
