Robin Newman has recently been experimenting with Python OSC<\/a>\u00a0which, among other things, can be used to tie Python and Sonic Pi’s Ruby implementation together. This way, you can control a device driven by Python from inside Sonic Pi. Once such device is the pi-topPULSE HAT which features an audio amplifier, a speaker, a 7×7 LED matrix and a microphone. Robin has written up how to control the LED matrix from Sonic Pi over on his blog, so head over there to read more<\/a>. You can see the programs and the PULSE in action below.<\/p>\n

You can buy the pi-topPULSE directly from pi-top here<\/a> or from The Pi Hut here<\/a>.\u00a0Note:<\/em> You do not need a pi-top to use the PULSE HAT, it can be plugged directly onto the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins.<\/p>\n
