My life is almost complete. I can finally edit .scd files in #nano on minimal #debian on my #android and then rawdog sclang to experience the joys of #supercollider on my old phone. The #audio quality does leave something to be desired. I’m not sure if that’s a sandboxing issue with the virtual #alsa driver or what. Still. My life is full of joy.
@RichRARobi this is the way. The coin cells are dirt cheap and this is a standard two pin JST connector. I haven't cut the old one open yet but I assume the inside is about the quality you describe doing it yourself.
Don’t forget to replace those old CMOS batteries in your “retro” or “vintage” or “10 yo every day driver” laptops. I couldn’t figure out why every now and again this laptop wouldn’t boot after the battery completely drained. Duh.

The new enclosure is almost complete! At 6cm across by 10cm deep and 4cm tall it is as small as we can make it with the current hardware specs. We continue to make improvements to the software as well, so #osc communication over #udp is faster and more reliable. All so you can sonify whatever you attach this to, human, animal, or machine!

Here’s a new post about your friend and mine, the humble tanh!

In Praise of Tanh - s c o t t e r i c p e t e r s e n
Brothers, Sisters, Cat People and Dog People, Non-human humans and others, I write here today in praise of tanh (pronounced “tanch” like “ranch” — IYKYK.) If you regularly employ tanh to solve your computer music problems, great! If you are “what is tanh?” then read on! Problems You’ve got problems. I’ve got problems. We’ve all…
We are currently working on revising the initial prototype of the CAFFEINE Pod ( https://www.scottericpetersen.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/CAFFEINE-ICMC2025.pdf) to make it smaller. Here we see most of the important components, the #ESP32S3 , the #mpu6050 IMU, the #LipoRider boost and charging module, the #hcsr04 distance sensor, and a sound module (microphone.) #floss #creativecoding #creativetoots
@bls true, but each #raspberrypi has a unique host name. Ultimately, the students are modeling #installation artists so this is part of the preparation and troubleshooting for if/when the installation breaks and they need to remote in to fix things. Screens are not part of the configuration - no additional hardware is allowed :) (and not just because we lost our funding…)
**Then, on your lappy:**
1. Make sure `avahi` and `nss-mdns` are installed on your system.
2. Make sure avahi is running. On Linux, this is a systemd service as above.
3. Edit **`/etc/nsswitch.conf`** so that `hosts:` line includes `mdns_minimal` before `resolve` or `dns`
You can use `avahi-browse -a` to see *everything* on your local network, this should include the Pi. You can also just try to ping it: `ping student334@334CES-N`
