The idea is to use the Pandora and it's I/O on the Ext-Connector in combination with an MSP430, buttons/knobs, and Character-display, to make a 'stompbox' effects-pedal using hardware inputs and software processing.

Hardware

  • Pandora portable computer
  • MSP430 Launchpad for prototyping (communicating over UART)
  • ext-connector and breakout-board
  • Audio-plugs, buttons, knobs (pot-meter? rotary-encoder?), hd44780-display,

Software

  • Puredata
  • Possibly a Pd-external to talk to the GPIO-pins (UART/serial should work 'out of the box')
  • MSP430-embedded code

Ideas

  • Use Pandora touchscreen for direct control -> Kaospad-ish effects
  • Do video-processing as well (GEM, pdp) over the video-out for live visuals (GEM may not (yet) work on OpenGL ES2)
  • Next project -> replace Pandora with RasPi, which to embed inside the stompbox
