Communication

Things Necessary to Communicate
  • Timeline - October 14th
    • Package Structure
      • Byte Width, What to use, Chords
    • Expressing the structure in code
    • Having slaves able to pull from that structure
    • Testing
  • People
    • Nico, Andrew, Jon, Doug
  • Communication is Serial from Master to Slave and from Computer to Master
  • Pitch
  • Duration
  • When to Play
  • What Instrument
  • Velocity
  • Pulse
    • Send every 64th maybe, updates allow for tempo change
    • Throw data on the slave and then update with the pulse
    • Wiimote controls heartbeat
  • Chords -
    • represented as packets
    • Each instrument represents differently
    • Xylobot- might have delay issues, will experiment
      *Representation
    • Current: ~7A
    • Certain number of Bytes
    • Chord Delimiter to tell how many more bytes to read
    • How do we represent glissando or Pitch Bend
      • Structures for different instruments
Direct MIDI to Instrument Notation
  • Timeline - End of October
    • Working Demonstration
  • People
    • Mike

Repository

Poll {#$} returns {#$}
  • Poll {3A} checks to see if flutophone is there will echo back
  • {#B$$$} $$$ milliseconds per division (3 letters)
Interept
  • () interupts- Do this now
  • #0 - Computer
  • #1 - Master
  • Master (0A) start sending
  • Master (0B) stop sending
  • Computer (1A) Play
  • Computer (1B) Pause
  • Computer (1C) Stop
  • Computer (1D#) Disable instrument
  • Computer (1E#) Enable instrument

Identification numbers

  • Computer = 0
  • Master = 1
  • Xylobot = 2
  • Flutophone = 3
  • Brassbot = 4
  • Hi-hat = 5
  • Bassbot = 6
  • Whamola = 7
  • Snare = 8
