Connecting the Synthex USB MIDI Board to MegaDrum32?

[jxn]

Hi everyone,

I stumbled across this project while surfing the web and I am looking froward to building it but before I do, I have a question regarding how to hook up the USB MIDI board. I plan to build the MegaDrum32 as well as the Synthex USB MIDI Board but I am unclear as to how to connect the two together. I noticed the USBExt1.1 port on both schematics but on the USB board I am unsure where ICSP.1 connects too. I have searched around the forum but haven't been able to find anything to answer my question. If anyone could clear this up it would be great.

Thanks!

The ICSP connects to the ICSP cable needed to program the firmware for the PIC18F2550. Hope that helps.

So then the only connection would be the USBExt1.1 on the MegaDrum32 to the USBExt1.1 on the USB board and then the USB connector on the MegaDrum32 goes the computer?
