I've had a MIDIsense (v1.0 resist) board that's worked, and it sat in the drawer for while as I came up with ideas on what exactly to do with it.
I built it at a EYEBEAM seminar Ladyada taught in 2005.
Well, recently I came up with something. Pulled out the MIDIsense, got it running, using the little photo-resistor that came with the kit. Tried out a few pushbuttons (nc), pots (100 k), nothing crazy.
Anyway yesterday while I was working, the red power led went out in the middle of my using it, but the green activity light kept going. I thought that the 9v battery died, I ran out and got another, replaced it, same problem. I metered the first battery, it was not dead, put it back in, same problem. Used a (12v dc) wall wart, same problem.
Did I do something I should not have? Made some unfortunate connection with hand holding the bottom of the board? Thanks in advance.

Okay to clarify, in MIDI Monitor, it is getting messages, but, the value for data column does not change except if I change sensors in the terminals.
MIDI Sense fails to find the board every time.
With the voltage regulator, I checked it with my multi-meter in diode mode and it appears to fine. Is there something else I should be looking for?
