2026-03-05 (Th) VictorianLightPiano Schematic first draft

The drawings for my previous projects were rife with blocks I could copy and modify, so I started by opening a bunch of recent schematics. Most of the things I needed were there, but the microcontroller, an Arduino Micro in this case, was not detailed enough in previous work. I found a similar demo board and used that with a few changes. Most of the inputs and outputs were attached to IO expanders, so I started with the piano buttons. There was a 10 kΩ pull-up resistor for each, twelve per octave. I did a similar arrangement for the LED filaments, with a 300Ω resistor on each. The controls were a few switches and a couple of potentiometers, which I drew, imported, and addressed accordingly. I suspect there will be issues with the IO expander addresses, and pin numbers will almost definitely need relabeling.
