Hey guys,
I am trying to write a PD patch that load an audio file into an array then plays it on command with a potentiometer (in the most basic form) manipulating volume. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this and could help out with the Python script I am writing to bridge it into PD.

Please let me know! All help is welcome.

I am an experienced Max user trying to translate my skills to PD.

I am also looking for a simple way to connect a few pots to the pi.
I just found that:

http://wiringpi.com/
http://www.abelectronics.co.uk/products/3/Raspberry-Pi/14/Delta-Sigma-Pi-18-bit-Analogue-to-Digital-converter

But I am quit new to I2C and SPI stuff, so I can't say any further yet.
I think there is no ready to use [I2C] or [SPI] object out there.(?)

Hi,
i made some Pots talk to Pd by connecting a mcp3208 to the gpio. Polling and Reading is done by a Python script based on this german document:
http://erik-bartmann.de//download/PiMeUp_MCP3008.pdf
The Python script is loaded on startup and communicates to Pd via Udp.
Connecting to Python this way is great since I can can also send messages from Pd to a lcd and the system even when I am not logged in as root.
It is not so hard to do but you will need an A/D-Converter like the mcp3208 for the pots.
best regards
