pi-Stomp Software and Firmware
The raspberry pi inside a pi-Stomp runs a Raspbian based OS created by blokaslabs called Patchbox OS
Patchbox OS includes a module called modep which is a port of MOD for raspberry pi. modep/MOD provide the audio host (mod-host) and UI (mod-ui) for pi-Stomp
The pi-Stomp hardware requires drivers to interface with potentiometers, encoders, footswitches, MIDI, LCD, etc.
A pi-Stomp software service, mod-ala-pi-stomp, uses the drivers to monitor all input devices, to drive the LCD and to send commands to mod-host for reading/writing pedalboard configuration information.
This repository includes:
- the pi-Stomp hardware drivers ('pistomp' module)
- the mod-ala-pi-stomp service ('modalapistomp.py' & 'modalapi' module)
- setup scripts for downloading/installing the above plus:
- python dependencies
- the 'modep' module for patch OS
- sound card drivers
- system tweaks
- hundreds of LV2 plugins
- sample pedalboards
Installing
Patch OS must first be installed. See this guide
After first boot, set up networking so that you can ssh
Once connected, download the software:
git clone https://github.com/TreeFallSound/pi-stomp.git
cd pi-stomp
Now run the setup utility to install the software and audio plugins. It could take about a half hour. For most hardware, including pi-Stomp Core, just run:
./setup.sh
For the original pi-Stomp hardware (pcb versions 1.x) pass the version to the setup script:
./sethup.sh -v 1.0
If all went well, you can then reboot
sudo reboot
