New pi-Stomp v2.3.0-beta software is ready to try (as a pre-built!)

As we wait for v3 kits to deliver from manufacturing, those of you with a v2 (aka ?Core?) can benefit from all the new software features and upgrades we?ve done in the last few months.


And we?ve built it for you, so just burn the OS image and boot it!


Works with any pi-Stomp v2 (aka ?core) hardware.  v1 hardware still has an issue with the LCD to resolve.


Please try it out and let us know what you think!

More info and Download here: https://github.com/treefallsound/pi-stomp/releases/

Added

    Pre-built software installation
    Support for v3 hardware
    New LCD UI (v3 and v2 hardware)
    New access to global EQ (v3 and v2 hardware with IQAudio card)
    Patchstorage for plugin management (discovery, download, install)
    Filemanager for uploading audio files, MIDI, Impulse Response, Instruments and Amp Models (eg. NAM, Aida)
    Support for tap-tempo (v3 and v2 hardware)
    Support for most all common tasks via LCD/MOD-UI (ssh not required, v3 and v2 hardware)
    Support for Pedalboard Banks (v3 and v2 hardware)
    Support for alternate footswitch actions: longpress, multi-switch (v3 and v2 hardware)
    Support for additional plugin parameter types: log, enum, bool (v3 and v2 hardware)
    Support for assignable (multi-color) LED indicators (v3 hardware only)
    Ability to update (stash and pull) sample pedalboards via git

Changed

    Upgrade to RPi bookworm OS
    Upgrade to python 3.11.1
    Upgrade to MOD v1.13
    Upgrade Real-time Kernel to 6.1.54
    Switched to using Network Manager for network management
    Switched to using gpiozero instead of RPi.GPIO (for pi5 compatibility)
    Added hardware config file (default_config.yml) validation via schema

Randall,  Awesome news, I have a PI 5 on my desk waiting!!

Are there any instructions on wiring for the 4th footswitch??

I installed the beta according to the instructions, but I get an endlessly flashing piStomp logo. I am able to log in through SSH and looking at the logs, it's not very clear just yet but seems like there's an issue with dnsmasq starting, getting an error that the port is already in use. I have the audioinjector sound card btw. Let me know if you have any suggestions on what to try. Cheers!

Randall (Admin)

Since it's a pre-built, the audiocard type must be assumed.  The default card is IQAudio.

To change that, just run ~/pi-stomp/util/change_audio_card.sh

Pick your card, then reboot.

Yup, that did the trick - Thank you! Would be probably a good idea to include in the install instructions too. Cheers!
