The #ObliquePalette 0.5.4 is on my workbench!

Fingers crossed that errors are small and easy to track down!

There looked to be errors in KiCAD that…don’t actually seem to be on the board? I hope that’s true!

Fingers crossed for #modularsynth control of a #plugdata patch and the patch being able to turn that back around to control servos, #synthdiy , #eurorack , or other #experimentalart & #robotics things by the weekend!

“Computers are for fucking around, making art, and falling in love.”

Continued thread

The #ObliquePalette analog outputs are working, voltage and servo alike!

Inputs seem to have an electronic error. Trying to figure it out.

Servo current draw might be too high through basic USB even with power capacitors. There’s a connector to add a separate power plug, too, but I’m pretty sure the answer is USB-C PD that will additionally give the voltage range to be fully #Eurorack compatible.

It’s really exciting to see #plugdata outputting position and voltage to the real world!

Hey, Tim Schoen, the core developer of #plugdata , finally opened up a Patreon! He’s put uncountable hours into making it thoughtful, creatively inspiring, and backward-compatible with its immediate ancestors Pure Data so that artists have a programming languages designed by and for us.

It’s an enormous amount of work, and is critical to the #ObliqueEasel and #ObliquePalette projects that I’m working on to build computers to be art- and exploration-first. patreon.com/TimothySchoen

@villares
Max has since evolved into Pure Data, and from there to #plugdata (plugdata.org), all in the interest of making programming available to knew kinds of minds!

There is no reason that Turing machines have to be controlled with indented ASCII text. Teletypes weren’t even the state of the art when the compiler was invented. They were just available.

This 3D render is making me emotional.

The #ObliquePalette is about to get its first manufacturing prototype! Firmware is working, #plugdata objects are working!

Soon, REAL SOON, we'll be able to...well, find out whatever mistakes and excessive compromises we made in the board before moving to prototype 0.4!

(It's a peripheral that lets Eurorack synthesizers, Arduino projects, and analog electronics communicate with the plugdata patching language at plugdata.org so you can let you computer art out of the little box!)

A PCB is available for the asking for anyone supporting the project (and my other nerdly arts) at patreon.com/joshua !

This is a big deal! #plugdata, the graphical audio programming language, is now available for iOS!

It’s still early days, but so much if it is working spectacularly well on this first early release!

Not only does it run as a graphical programming environment, it also includes Automatonism, styled after Eurorack objects, from simple oscillators and filters to Mutable Instruments.

Make your iPad into a really weird guitar pedal!

Integrate it into your Eurorack!

Fediverse, bring me your weird nerds!

I’m looking for a rare skillset to join the #plugdata project (see my pinned posts).

1: You love to share mutual support with fellow creators.

2: You love sound synthesis.

3: You want to build a graphical programming language.

4: You can help develop a compiler.

We need help on the Heavy compiler within the plugdata graphical programming environment compiling for Daisy (and more!) μC synth dev boards.

Just finished the soldering for the #ObliquePalette, the IO interface for th #ObliqueEasel. I dread testing.

Soldering this way is satisfying & meditative but I think it’s time I learned how to get my cheapass CNC machine working so I can have it cut PCBs. This board has taken me days of soldering and error fixing so far. I don’t know how many errors are left.

Next up, I need to revise the firmware to know what these controls are.

Then I get to build #plugdata objects to talk with it!

@neauoire I did a terrible thing - I made this monstrosity so #orca would play this track itself and I didn't have to suffer trying to turn everything on and off in time myself (It was even worse, I shortened it).
#febrajam #16, this time I finally tried out #plugdata - a beautiful #puredata wrapper. I struggled to remember how the puredata works, but it all worked out in the end.

The big project I'm excited about right now is #plugdata. plugdata.org

It's a graphical programming language based on & compatible with Pure Data. But it's not only far more legible, it also runs as a VST plugin in your DAW.

As much as I love what it does now, I'm most interested in developing it for my general purpose programming and experimentation. I want to program drones and synths and costumes with it at patreon.com/joshua

We need more coders! Come help!
