Make More Than Music with Tiny Computers, JavaScript and MIDI
summary
Uses RaspberryPi Arduino and C.H.I.P. plus JavaScript/Node and the MIDI protocol to repurpose hardware: Chrome’s native Web MIDI talks to USB and Bluetooth devices, WebRTC helps with latency. Demos include 25 laptops attempted to play parts of a MIDI file (partial success), a Launchpad turned into Launchpad Go and whack‑a‑mole, a color mixer mapping MIDI CC to CSS filters, and a puck JS Bluetooth foot/clicker that controls slides; some demos work reliably, others expose timing and mapping quirks to solve.
