FRAISE : FRAmework for Interfacing Software and Electronics
Fraise is :
- a protocol for communication between microcontrollers
- some conventions about the communication physical layers and associated connectors
- a multi-platform integrated development and runtime environment hosted by Pure Data for microcontroller boards
Fraise boards are currently powered by Microchip's PIC18F26K22 8-bit microcontrollers, which have similar capabilities to Arduino's ATmega328.
Compilation of the firmware is done with SDCC and gputils; Fraise ships with the compiler's binaries for Linux-x86, Windows and OSX (Linux-arm to come), and automates from Pd all the compilation and upload processes.
##dependencies :
PureData + externals :
- zexy
- moonlib
- hcs
- ggee
- comport
On Linux, you may need to add your user to the dialout group,
to have read/write permissions on the USB device /dev/ttyACM0. Just do :
sudo adduser [your_username] dialout
then logout and re-login.
For 64 bit linux, you also have to install 32 bit compatibility libraries.
On Ubuntu14.04-64bit do :
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
##installation :
Install Pd + externals (or pd-extended).
Download latest Fraise version from Github : https://github.com/MetaluNet/Fraise/archive/master.zip.
Extract the archive somewhere, declare this path into Pd preferences.
##examples :
Open fruit/example/exampleFruit.pd
with Pd.
##documentation :
Fraise library can be automatically (well, only for properly documented source code...) generated by doxygen, and HTML output is published there : http://metalunet.github.io/Fraise-doc/modules.html
Also, have a look at http://metalu.net/ressources-techniques/fraise.
