    Update (Jul 9, 2019):Now, Raspbian Buster, released on 6/20/2019, has bluez 5.50 by default! This post shows how to update BlueZ on Raspberry Pi from 5.43 (the default version comes with Raspbian Stretch) to 5.50 (released notes [1]). In this post, I assume that you already have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ or Raspberry Pi Zero W running Raspbian Stretch. Steps [2]1. Check Current BlueZ Version1-1. Before…

    Most of my research these days is about getting to the heart of how we interact with musical instruments, exploring the essence of a nuanced touch that a piano player has or that subtle vibrato that makes one guitar player different than another. As a departure or brief interlude I’ve been thinking also about how…

    I’m going to start documenting each Sonic Interactions experiment for the purpose of marking where I am in the process. Each one of these is merely a rough sketch to build upon and are in no means finished. My first experiment takes data from the accelerometer of a SenseHat and uses it to change parameters…

    After a fair bit of deliberation I was able to install Pure Data 0.49 on the Pi running Raspbian Stretch. I’ll walk through this step by step in case you’re not familiar with command line in Linux. The default way to install PureData (Pd) is: The only problem with this method of installing Pd is…

    How do we move from analogue to digital? There seems to be quite a number of ways including 2D & 3D scanning, photography, and sensors. For the purposes of intentionally limiting our options we’re going to create a physical interface with potentiometers and buttons. We’ll be using the LOP board with a Raspberry Pi. Once…

    Design Process To me, the MINEBLOCK project represents an excellent example of the convergence of a vast number of technical, digital, physical and human constraints. Knowing that being able to keep a close eye on all of these considerations simultaneously was going to be next to impossible, I asked a few friends to help with…

    One of the first things you do with a Raspberry Pi is connect it to a wifi or ethernet network but what if you don’t have an extra keyboard or screen available, but you have a laptop? There are times when a HDMI monitor is not available to use with your Raspberry Pi.  In those circumstances it can…

    Over the week I’m working on two current areas of practical research for Mineblock. The first has to do with one of the biggest gotchas of working with networked devices, particularly ones with no screen: getting it on the network and talking to it. The second is about installation and interaction: choosing the level of flexibility. This…

    UPDATE: I’m using Etcher now. It’s an incredibly easy way to format disks and works cross-platform. This is the first of a series of articles about RaspberryPi, I’ll start with a few introductory tutorials to get you up and running. The first thing you’ll want to do once you have a Raspberry Pi is set…
