Has there been any movement on getting midi output working?

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of any progress successfully getting MIDI output from FreePIE?
I've been looking at some custom Python libraries to this end has anyone had any luck this way?
The thing is i've nearly finally learnt enough arduino to make my own custom devices but still want to use the nintendo wii remotes for midi into a DAW.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Solone

If you are willing to learn, it might be sensible to look at the sources of the MIDI plugin itself:
https://github.com/AndersMalmgren/FreeP ... iPlugin.cs
plus two other files in the MIDI folder.

From what I see, it uses CannedBytes.Midi library to create a MIDI object and communicate with it:
https://github.com/obiwanjacobi/midi.net

If you look at the examples or possibly another program that uses the same library to handle output, maybe you will manage to add that to the plugin. It will be more work than creating a custom script, but it will be more universal, moreover you will earn gratitude of the (admittedly small) community...
