RPi3 setup

On a different page because it's going to be quite long... The Ultimate RPi Installation Guide

Pi skin conductivity

Aims:

• 3 pairs of GPIO pins are used as to capture skin conductivity
• python reads GIOP (should run as a deamon)
• OSC sends messages from py to pd

Pis have no ADC, therefore the simple way to read a Pot's value is via a step response technique as explained in http://razzpisampler.oreilly.com/ch08.html

hardware

• Rpi breakout board (cobbler) + cable from GPIO to breakout board cable.
  • buy https://www.kiwi-electronics.nl/40-weg-t-cobbler-breakout-board-voor-raspberry-pi-model-b-plus-kit
• 1x 220 nF capacitor
• 2x 1Ohn resistor
• 550 ohm pot (values go between 0-800) OR metal points

notes on RPi GPIO

In model 1 there were only 26 in the following configuration

Model 2 B and 3 B keep the same configuration for the first 26 pins, but expand it to 40 pins, in the following configuration

Circuit

I am using 500K variable resistor(pot) instead.

touch pressure

In order to use touch pressure: I kept the circuit only replacing the variable resistor with 2 metal pins.

The result is very interesting.

• because the circuit is interrupted while no one is touching, the stream or reading is interrupted
• values can go from:
  • Max: 3 (very strong,wet contact) (0 if there is a metal connection )
  • Min: 273337
