On this page we are documenting everything that is needed to create rapid prototypes of a complete electronic music instrument/controller.


Contents

3D printing

Sensor interfaces

  • CUI: Dan Overholt's open source platform based on the PIC controller.
  • Arduino: open source platform based on Atmel microprosessor. using Wiring for programming.
  • Phidgets: commercial USB-based sensor interface with standardized connectors.

Communication

  • OSC: Open Sound Control for communicating between devices.
  • uOSC: the Open Sound Control Reference Platform for Embedded Devices, currently working on PIC controllers.
  • SLIP: Serial Line Internet Protocol used for creating packets passed over the serial communication.
  • HID: Human interface devices. The game controller specification is the one that is implemented everywhere. The generic HID class would be a better solution for us, but is not supported in Max, SuperCollider, etc.
  • USB CDC: communications device class
  • nRD24H1: 2-way remote controller from Nordic
