Happy to report the updated SquishBoxes and kits are available in the Tindie store! The new update uses a custom PCB with SMT components, which means no need for a separate break-out board for the DAC, and an on-board switching voltage regulator that provides much steadier and more reliable power for your Raspberry Pi from a standard 9V effects pedal power supply! I also moved the contrast trimmer for easier access, and added a breakout for the Pi’s serial port to allow connection via a USB-TTL serial console cable, or even a possible future expansion to add 5-pin MIDI ports. There are a bunch of software updates on the way as well – stay tuned!

New Lesson Video!
A third video in the FluidPatcher lesson series is up! This one is all about using control change messages to their maximum capability. As usual, creating these lesson videos prompts me to make some updates, add features, and of course find and fix sneaky bugs – so make sure to run the update script!
