Resources
Guides to the tools and ideas behind lab projects. Each page gives a suggested order, mixing the best outside material with the lab’s own guides. Use what’s useful.
Foundations
Circuits
Voltage, current, switches and what +, − and GND mean. Start here before Arduino or VCV Rack.
Music & Sound Basics
Pitch and frequency, rhythm, the harmonic series, timbre, scales and what "in key" means.
Tools
Arduino
Programming boards that read sensors and drive lights, motors and sound.
Sound Tools
VCV Rack, Strudel, SuperCollider and Pure Data: what each is for, and where to start.
Data Science
Python in a notebook: load, clean, chart and listen to data.
Design
3D modelling in Onshape for parts, enclosures and mounts that can be printed.
