The idea is to use the Pandora and it's I/O on the Ext-Connector in combination with an MSP430 I2C port Expander and LCD-display to make a 'stompbox' effects-pedal using hardware inputs and software processing.

Hardware

  • Pandora portable computer
  • MSP430 Launchpad for prototyping (libs I wanted to use are not yet compatible, and I don't have the skills to rewrite them :) )
  • I2C port Expander (TI PCF8574N)
  • ext-connector and breakout-board

Software

  • Puredata
  • Possible external to talk to the GPIO-pins
  • 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)
  • Rename/categorize, because of no more MSP430
  • Next project -> replace Pandora with RasPi, which to embed inside the stompbox
