How to automatically run a python script when you turn on your Raspberry Pi

How to automatically run a python script when you turn on your Raspberry Pi

When you've made a python script to handle control inputs, outputs and other elements for your RNBO patchers running on the Raspberry Pi - you'll likely want to start it running every time you boot, without having to initiate it in the terminal.

Using a Gyroscope + Accelerometer module with RNBO on the RPi

Using a Gyroscope + Accelerometer module with RNBO on the RPi

An IMU is a common module to use with microcontrollers for measuring tilt and rotation. They're small and are perfect for use in wearable technology and robotics projects. In this article we'll use an MPU6050 with the i2c protocol and get it talking to our RNBO patcher on the Raspberry Pi.

How to use Bluetooth MIDI on the Raspberry Pi with RNBO

How to use Bluetooth MIDI on the Raspberry Pi with RNBO

I’ve been testing as many MIDI and audio interface devices as I can with the Raspberry Pi export target, since wireless MIDI is becoming a little more common so thought I’d share this in case anyone might be interested.

Light up some LEDs with RNBO on the Raspberry Pi

Light up some LEDs with RNBO on the Raspberry Pi

You've just made your own desktop synthesizer with RNBO and the Raspberry Pi, you're ready to switch the lights off and jam out - but there's no visual feedback... If there's a bleep in a dark studio but there's no pulses of twinkling light - did it even happen?

Adding Potentiometers to your Raspberry Pi with RNBO

Adding Potentiometers to your Raspberry Pi with RNBO

Unlike boards like the Arduino, the Raspberry Pi doesn't have an Analogue-to-Digital (ADC) converter to convert analogue signals to digital. In this article we'll learn how to use an ADC integrated circuit chip with the RPi to read in multiple Potentiometers at once and control a RNBO patcher.

Working with Photoresistors (LDRs) on the Raspberry Pi with RNBO

Working with Photoresistors (LDRs) on the Raspberry Pi with RNBO

In this article we'll cover how to use some simple sensors with RNBO on the Raspberry Pi target. Before attempting these, make sure you're familiar with the basics of exporting your RNBO patchers to the RPi and that your audio interface is working correctly with it.

EZ Gen~ Tute 006 :: Ratcheting 101

EZ Gen~ Tute 006 :: Ratcheting 101

In our final beginner level EZ Gen~ MaxMSP tutorial we're covering one more foundational sequencer technique that dates back to the 1970s - step "ratcheting". We've already learned the tools we need to add this to our sequencer - and it's quick + dead simple.

EZ Gen~ Tute 004x :: Macrophase + Making your own custom [rate] operator

EZ Gen~ Tute 004x :: Macrophase + Making your own custom [rate] operator

This EZ Gen~ Extra covers a few questions around the “macrophase” derivation method I used in the previous tute where I needed to create my own [rate] abstraction which will help us phase align our new polymetric sequencer.
