These demos distill MIDI WiFi to its simplest form. This makes understanding how the programs work much easier. One ESP8266 or ESP32 WiFi board with a button is all that is needed. No DIN connectors, UARTs, or USB are needed.
The demos were tested on an ESP8266 NodeMCU 1.0 and an ESP32 development board. Both boards include a button. If the ESP board you use does not have button, you can add one to any available GPIO pin.
Additional software is required on Macs, Windows, and Linux computers to speak MIDI multicast and RTP MIDI. I highly recommend reading the TouchDAW documentation. The same procedures to get TouchDAW connected, are required to make these demos to work. UDP multicast is much easier to setup but RTP MIDI may perform better on busy WiFi networks.

The midi1button demo uses Multicast UDP to send MIDI messages. Three
options are included. Option 1 sends Note On/Off when the button is
pressed/released. Option 2 sends Change Control Sustain On/Off when the
button is pressed/released. This could be used with one or more foot
pedals. Option 3 sends All Notes Off on all channels when the button is
pressed.

The midi1buttonrtp demo uses RTP MIDI (also known as Apple MIDI) to send
MIDI messages. The demo has the same options as the first demo but uses RTP
MIDI instead of UDP multicast.
