Hey there
The Faslink could work, but i stopped testing after the AxeFx started to blink... guess i had the power conductor (on my end the blue wires) connected to the Midi out. Luckily everything is still working.
I soldered the cables after i found this writing about the XLR wiring By fractal audio:
/*
If "I" were adapting FASLINK to CAT5 I would use each pair as a conductor. I.e. blue and blue/white tied together as one conductor, green and green/white tied together as another conducter. Then the drain wire (and maybe another conductor pair to ensure low resistance) connected to the XLR shield.
FASLINK uses two conductors plus shield (standard mic cable). One conductor is power. The other conductor is data. The shield is the common return for the two conductors.
*/
I guess this is diffrent in my situation as the arduino is using TX/RX. 1 Faslink Data conductor can send and receive, as the Arduino has this seperated. This still could work i guess.
I want to try to power the pedalboard from the Axe FX, so i will only use the power conductor and shield from the Faslink and send this throught the RJ45 cable (2 wires). The other 6 RJ45 wires i will use for midi in and midi out. I will make custom connectors and wire them to the RJ45 box. Then 1 RJ45 cable holds the midi in/out and power /shield. On the other end i will do the same. (And hope for the best).
So it will still work with Midi in and out, but with power from the Faslink and all wired with 1 RJ45 Cable.
Here is the scema i used for connecting Faslink to rj45 and to midi in and out. Cant figgure out if 4 = RX or 5 = RX will work.
I am going to leave it for now before i blow the Axe up.
Cheers
