bopOS

A Raspberry Pi and Arduino based framework for networked multichannel sound, light, and motion. This repo provides scaffolding for the bop library for PD Vanilla. Python scripts provide admin services (updating, rebooting, shutdown).

Requirements

• puredata 0.54 vanilla
• python3
• pyOSC3

Optional Requirements for Arduino

• pd-comport

Reads distance sensor and controls lights and stepper motor. Communicates with PD via SLIP encoded OSC over USB serial.

Installation and Setup

Flash SD using Raspberry Pi Imager

• Choose OS RASPBERRY PI OS LITE (64-BIT)
• Set username and password
• configure wireless LAN
• enable SSH
• Flash SD
