I threw together a quick video showing my arduinome and my monome both plugged into Arduinome Serial, but pointing at two seperate applications, in this case flin and 64_slide. The audio is non existent and the camera shaky, but hopefully it answers some questions. It makes me wonder why there is an Arduinome Serial and why not just Monome Serial that can also talk to Arduinome’s?

Finally found some time in between flu forced naps to finish off the display portion of the knobome idea. Now all I need to do is stuff this into the small looking enclosure I have and then work out what I’m planning on doing for an input. LyodMilligan has some very promising ideas over on the other post. Although he very quickly got me out of my depth in terms of technical know how, so I’m hoping he’s going to throw me a lifeline before I start drowning. I also suspect I might run out of room. For that reason I’m thinking I might go with a simple 2 x 8 position rotary switch and a small momentary switch.

Twist the 2 rotary switches to the 8×8 co’ordinates you want and press the button to trigger a press.

I should be able to get away with that with nothing more than some imaginative wiring and no additional components – but we’ll see.

Then I might approach the knobome enclosure slightly differently.

Original inspiration for the knobome is the orange keypadless monome (except if I’m correct Tehn’s has no monome input, other than maybe ADC or ENC), video of his in prototype.

Update, it took a great deal of trimming, pushing and bending, but it’s all inside the enclosure now. Absolutely no room for switches or knobs. So this one will become a viewNome. Knobome will need a bigger house.

The Stribe 1 has been launched and it looks really nice. I love the fact that it’s modular. $94 a pop, means you could pick one up a month and after 8 months you’d have a nice looking piece of kit.

I’m curious to see what’s needed above and beyond just having the modules. How much you need to do to get it working with the arduino and what max patches are available. I’m already thinking that a arduinome 64 with 2 or 3 of these strips off the side in the same enclosure could be pretty neat and very useful. I wonder if there will (or is) any cross fade patches yet. I’m very tempted to get a couple.

Finally managed to sort out all the bugs. The Arduinome is now fully functional. Now we move onto creating the enclosure.

I have a fair share on iphone music making apps. This one has a certain Eno twist. Check it out.

I love this sort of stuff.

Nerdscroll is mirrored, which is pretty weird.

Simplest musical test available, also demo’s some of the shorts I was having, they are now fixed. The 2nd from left column is the one that the LED’s don’t work, but as you can see from the video the buttons do.
