Midi Stopwatch - Prototype

The MIDI Stopwatch is a compact timing device designed for live electronic music performances, especially DAWless setups.

Built around the M5Stack StickS3, it connects wirelessly to MIDI equipment via Bluetooth MIDI. When a MIDI Start command is received, the display changes instantly and a stopwatch begins running. A MIDI Stop command ends the measurement and shows the elapsed performance time.

The project aims to provide a simple, camera-visible timing reference for recording performances, synchronizing video and keeping track of individual takes.

The working prototype is currently being refined and tested for timing accuracy and reliability.
