Crustaceans Chirp Chirp Challenge

[08:28] <kline> i dont know what the standard target for "is this embedded system useful" is but id like to propose a midi synth:
[08:28] <kline> * implement serial comms
[08:28] <kline> * needs timers/interrupts
[08:28] <kline> * includes PWM/etc peripherals for IO
[08:29] <kline> * actually fails if you fuck up the hard realtime aspects
[08:29] <kline> * you get a cool toy at the end
[08:29] <kline> bonus: you can scale to things like polyphony
