What's been your major hurdles, hangups or problems?

Everyone gets to that point where they feel they've hit a brick wall, there's something they perhaps just don't know, perhaps the hardware hasn't arrived, they've ran out of solder or there's something else going amiss.

 

For me in my projects lately I need access to a 3D Printer, but the one at my local hackspace isn't working!

 

So what's stopped you from progressing with your musictech project? Either now or previously?

  • The main problems I've had whilst undertaking this project:

    • Loosing a couple of weeks trying to figure out why I was getting frequent audio glitches and artefacts within my synth engine on the BBB. After trying everything to optimise the audio code, thinking that's what the problem was, it's turns out it was related to sending data to the MIDI-out serial port; the audio optimising idea was just a really annoying red herring.
    • Hitting a brick wall when developing the panel circuitry and finding that some of the potentiometers just wouldn't work, even if replaced. Talking to my superiors at work helped me solve this one.
    • My BBB stopped working. Luckily Element14 were quick at sorting this out for me though.
    • Getting ill and run-down a couple of times from spending most of my free time on the project, causing me to force myself to step back from it for a few days here and there.
