Over the past week I've been working on various parts of my project - designing the front panel, starting on the panel electronics, as well as optimising the sound engine software. All of these things are only half-finished so I don't want to...
Hey again! I've been getting into PureData a bit, since I will probably be running PureData either solo or in conjunction with SuperCollider to generate and manipulate the audio of the suit. I have very minor prior experience with PD; so this ha...
Since my blogpost a couple of weeks back where I highlighted the design for my audio synthesis engine I've been hard at work attempting to implement it using the C++ audio synthesis library Maximilian. I'm now at a stage where I have a workin...
Hi there, This week, I have made significant progress on porting Kazumi to BeagleBone Black, but before I go into more detail about this, I would like to set some objectives and motivations for this challenge. The current set-up has a few p...
PlectralEffects Update If you are curious as to the status of my project. I am still awaiting parts, the BeagleBone Black and the majority of the parts have not arrived -- Currently, I have been testing physical prototypes of the plectrum ...
Since I now have a working stretch sensor, I really have to get started with the suit! This is one of the most challenging things for me right now, as I am really a perfectionist when it comes to design. As this is a conceptual art project, I wa...

Over the past couple of weeks I have been dipping in and out of various parts of my project - developing the MIDI I/O interface (as seen in my last couple of blogposts), as well as starting to implement my audio synthesis engine design into a working...
The eViolin has two main interactions between the musician and the instrument. Specifically, the left hand is on the fingerboard and the right hand is on the bow. Both need to be solved and their information integrated. Let's start wi...
Hi there! I'm back again with a new update of my latest work. I was SoftLab yesterday, which I introduced to you in my previous update. It is a place for learning, collaboration and innovation in the fields of wearable technology and fashion (and...
To see all my post about this challenge新年快樂過年期間比較空閒，補一下進度。買了幾塊加速度感測器，先選MPU6050來玩，搭配Nucleo32-F031K6。接線圖如下，Eagle還不熟，只好先用Fritzing畫。實際接出來長這樣，配線顏色特別符合上圖。MPU6050是使用IIC通訊，這部分前幾個禮拜才剛學著用，所以不太熟。還好mbed上有前人完成好的範例可以參考，Import Baser Kandehir 建立的I2C_MPU6050 ，修改成Nucl...
Hi everybody, I'm a Product Design Engineer and musician based in London. It has taken long for me to make this first blog post but I will hopefully start posting more regularly from now on. I will start off by giving a short introduction o...
This week I've been looking at the communication between the hexynth modules and the BBB. I'm using i2c, which is a bus consisting of a Serial Data Line (SDA) and Serial Clock Line (SCL), for communicating with connected devices. The BBB will...
In my last blogpost I talked about the implementation of the electronics needed for adding a MIDI interface to my vintage toy synthesiser. As a suitable follow-on, within this post I thought I'd talk in-depth about MIDI message processing; specif...
MIDI is an essential part of any serious piece of electronic music equipment. In a nutshell, MIDI is "a technical standard that describes a protocol, digital interface and connectors and allows a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, c...
Hi friends! How are your projects going? I'm attending a BeagleBone-based musical accessibility hackathon this weekend, and will be shooting some footage of the hacks & projects people build for my next update video- should be a good one...
It looks like I jumped the gun a bit with upgrading to the latest version of Debian on BBB if I wanted to use beaglebone-io. Bonescript, the JavaScript library for working with the GPIO pins that beaglebone-io is built on top of, does not work correc...
I’ve spent the past 10 days in sunny Anaheim, California at The NAMM Show 2016 exhibiting with Modal Electronics, so I haven’t had much time to work on my project. However it’s given me a chance to think a lot about my synthesis engine design, so I t...
Hello again! I've been waiting to begin most of my work until my kit arrives, but as I am still waiting for it to arrive I realized I need to get some work done. Since our local SoftLab has opened up about a week ago, I began working at the same...
Hey everyone! I hope your projects are coming along alright. Don't forget that you can get in touch with me if you have any questions or need a bit of help with something. I recently got to spend a little time learning about one of our challenge...
My motivation for the hexynth project is to produce a system of snap-together modules that can be programmed, that I can use to teach coding and tech skills alongside sound synthesis concepts. I use the johnny-five JavaScript Robotics framework in ma...
BBB Paint and Play Drum Set This Project is all about designing Open source, Low Cost and innovative Drum set using BBB as main sound generating Unit, and ESP8266 Based wireless drum sticks and pedals. I have given name "Paint...
This week, for my design challenge project, I've been attempting to get started on the sound synthesis engine for my synth, as well as setting up an audio output on my BeagleBone Black. There have been quite a few frustrating evenings in doing th...
I'm waiting for the MusicTech challenger kit parts to make their way downunder, so in the meantime I’m experimenting with an old BeagleBone Black. It’s a couple of years old, so I figured I would install a new image on a micro-SD card to make sur...
