Sonicorn

It's time to start the music, it's time to light the lights...

Setup

• Unicorn Hat: Follow the instructions here
• Python WebSocket server: sudo pip install git+https://github.com/dpallot/simple-websocket-server.git
• Ruby WebSocket Client: sudo gem install websocket-client-simple

Running:

• Start the Python server
• Make some minor tweaks to your Soni Pi program and Run

Python Server

sudo python sonicorn_server.py

Sonic Pi program

Add this aat the top of the Sonic Pi program:

require 'websocket-client-simple'
ws = WebSocket::Client::Simple.connect 'ws://localhost:8000'

Add this where you want the rainbow pulse to trigger, this send a string to the Python server to trigger the rainbow pulse

ws.send "rainbow"

At the moment it doesn't actually matter what string you send, but I expect it will in the future :)
