I learned today that when the teensy does serial over USB, it can run closer to USB speeds! I’m fully tabling the internal LFO / sequencer idea in favor of the teensy being a dumb relay for external triggers over USB. Tested that everything worked the same when switching the current firmware from 9,600 baud to 230,400 baud (!!) this morning and I could already feel the difference in latency when keyboard mashing. It feels much more responsive to interact with, so that’s good.

I’ve also settled on a first pass of the little protocol I’ll use for serial communication. I’m only sending serial messages from the laptop to the microcontroller right now, but I plan to support listening for them as well, which will let me connect pippi to future homebrew hardware controllers and other external devices via serial bridges.

In the normal case, sending a trigger from astrid to the relays just looks like sending any ASCII byte over the wire. The values map to a given state for a given relay. There aren’t many states, just toggled or not for each of the relays because I’m skipping the internal sequencing for now so there’s plenty of room to grow there.

Alternately, astrid can send a special message struct over the wire, which can contain values of various types. The firmware will know if it should keep reading more bytes beyond the first if the sign bit is set, so the serial message structs are packed with that as the first member. 

typedef struct lpserial_param_t {
    unsigned int flag : 1;
    unsigned int type : 31;
    size_t id;
    int group;
    int device;
    /* a union whose type is based on the type field */
    lpserial_param_value_t value;
} lpserial_param_t;

This’ll all certainly change as I work on it, but that seems like a reasonable place to start.

I don’t actually have any use for sending anything except discrete triggers right now, but I’m excited to get that in place for when I extend the hardware into motor controls etc where I’ll want to be sending more than just toggles.
