Monome + Raspberry Pi


Basic monome functionality for now...

Video Description:


Video Showing an Arduinome (arduino based monome) connected to a Raspberrry Pi which is running a sample playback software synth with Linn Drum samples.
There is no pd or Max running on the Pi, not even monomeserial or serialosc, it is just a C program that processes the raw serial stuff coming from the Monome and converts that into calls to the synth.

  1. will yoube sharing the source or this program for connecting the pi to a monome/arduinome?

    1. Yes, I will be sharing that soon. As said in the video description:

  3. hi there! thanks for this - i would like to try this myself with my pi and monome! i was wondering if you know if this is possible to do with the python libraries that come with, say, raspbian? not planning to do any music stuff for now; it's merely an excuse for me to learn python ;)

    1. I am sure it is possible, I just found it a mess to install even on a Linux PC running Ubuntu, so I gave up trying to install it on the RasPi. The communication protocol is rather simple, so getting it to work without even going through SerialOsc or MonomeSerial should be easy, just need to know how to do serial communications with Python.

  4. WOOW! This is great!
    I would be possible to download the code?

    Thanks a lot
