SerialEvent NullPointer Error with Proccessing and Arduino ATmega8u2
July 27th, 2011 – 8:03 pm
We were running into a weird bug yesterday when trying to poll serial data from one of the new Arduino Megas in Processing 1.2.1. It seems that if you have a lot of code, or multiple tabs in your processing patch, there is the chance that the Serial Class won’t have time to load before [...]
Some good resources for starting to learn SuperCollider
July 24th, 2011 – 9:23 pm
SuperCollider comes with an extensive and comprehensive Help file already. This includes a bunch of tutorials (from several different sources it seems, with material overlapping from different tutorials), and provide a great introduction to the language. However, I’ve also been looking for a few other resources as I’m trying to teach myself. Probably the best [...]

July 17th, 2011 – 5:31 am
We have updated the build instructions for the Chronome. At this point there should be enough information on the website to build one, but there are still a few pieces left to finish. We have serialosc working at the moment (with full existing monome protocol support), and have decided to go in that direction instead [...]

Chronome Prototype
November 28th, 2010 – 8:27 pm
For the last year or so I’ve been developing the Chronome, an RGB/Pressure sensitive version of the Monome/Arduinome. The Chronome uses the same TLC5940 chip as previous RGB grid controller efforts such as the Octinct, but with new firmware designed around Matthew T. Pandina‘s excellent TLC5940 C Library. I was also able to provide pressure [...]
