I had a go at this a few years ago for a music re-release, was a fun project. The materials part was super satisfying. (Also done in b3d) Still my favourite format!

So very close to getting the LDMX software ready. A lighting desk for synth geeks. if you hate disco lights on auto but don't want to run a lighting desk all night this may be for you #cosmicsystems

Finally set up an end to end stress test for the lighting desk software / hardware I’m building.

I'm a huge fan (/s) of the fact Unity's Unity->Settings menu item opens the Preferences screen. (on a Mac at least)

This weekend’s films. Both very, very different but well worth your time.

Genuinely nice to type on. Not too clacky but def not one for the open plan dwellers! I also got the numerical keypad that doubles as an old school calculator!

Semi related, I’m very happy with my new keyboard.

Turns out that getting into TDD for my resurrected side project is not doing my sleeping any favours as my ADHD desires mean I can't go to bed with failing tests.

Screenshot of an all passing output from my cucumber test harness. I know what that must sound like to someone who doesn't know what one of those is.

Because I’m almost always under NDA I can only post work from a while back so here’s some frames from the 8-bit spritesheet I made for LCD Soundsystem when I worked on visuals for their “comeback” Coachella gig back in 2016.

Saturday nights are a little different these days... Nearing the end of the second Cosmic Systems PCB design. This is a pretty small, general purpose ESP32-S3 board with all the available GPIOs on FFC ribbon headers. IP68 USB-C and a side mounted RGB Neopixel LED. #esp32 #electronics

Soundsystem control protocol for #cosmicsystems is in full swing and part of it is I'm forcing myself to be more #TDD. Probably just as it goes out of fashion! I don't think it's a hugely popular thing in game dev, particularly #Unity3D, but it really should be.

Did this very silly edit to open a DJ set last weekend. NightChyme. Feels appropriate for tonight.

Last weekend was just incredible. I was organising the wonderful visuals crew on the live stage at Machina Bristronica here in Bristol and I got perform live with my analog modular video rig for the amazing Anthony Rother. Here’s a short section of that show. (LED poles by Simon Langley)

Another option might be something like REW, the audio analysis software. Not sure if they record for as long as 60 mins but they def have all these kind of graphs.

Little late to the party but… Scavenger’s Reign. Wow. Little bit Ghibli, little bit Moebius, little bit Annihilation. Tres good.

The *actual* weekend project is a custom remote UI for the #esp32 based DMX / Artnet lighting desk I’m working on. Fully multitouch, uses OSC to control the lighting desk node but also to receive all the fixture information so the ui is created automatically depending on the setup of the desk.

Back in the Cosmic Systems workshop prepping the HXTC1’s for our little micro-fest we call Rituals. Upgrading the cheap led controllers with our custom LDMX1 DMX controlled LED drivers. Hope they work!

Baffled as to why no matter what I do my ESP based DMX controller prototype keeps rebooting...

Screenshot from MS Code showing the C++ code for four OSC message callbacks for different tasks, each of them calling ESP.restart() because I'm a fucking plum.

Stefan Goodchild @triplegeek.com · 09/05/2024

The LDMX1 is alive! Not tested the DMX side yet but the ESP32 powers on, can be programmed, and drives the neon LED strip I have. These are all wins in my book! The first ever manufactured PCB I’ve ever designed and it works! I’m utterly shocked!

This was the scene shortly before creating a very temporary star in my spare room last night and earning my Magic Smoke badge of honour. Serves me right for trying to show off #electronics #cosmicaudiosystems

Road trip! Left Fréjus post food poisoning and the van developed a wobble on the A7 so pit stop in Avegnon, which turns out to be very pretty indeed. So, beers in squares tonight in preparation for dealing with mécanicien français tomorrow in the AM. Bon chance!

Day two. Didn’t kick my coffee everywhere! This is a win. Stopped last night in a city campsite just on the edge of Dijon, actually pretty nice! Found a square where everyone was watching the FRA vs S.Arica rugby, good vibes!

First morning of our chilly road trip through France started well with me kicking a full cup of coffee over on the bed! Lovely spot to end up in though.

Friday night was super fun. A new night, Kitform, launching a new event space at Jamaica Street Studios in Bristol. Running the beautiful new HXTC1’s from Cosmic Audio Systems. B2B DJ sets from Steve Davies & Dr D, Catchi & Sarah Air, Petit Four & Spinthief and a warm up set from myself.
