From the project
a public release of the plinky sw and hw
Stijn from This Is Not Rocket Science routed the original Version 3. Steve / Okyreon from denki oto added the LPZW midi circuit to allow plinky to have on-board midi without the expander. Kay** from LPZW Modules then contributed a circuit to fix the input noise, and then polished everything into a 'Version 3.1', which is the current version linked here. Kay also was one of the original people who helped me with the hardware design of V1 and V2.
