Raspberry Pi Target Overview
The Raspberry Pi Export target allows for RNBO patches to be exported from RNBO directly to a Raspberry Pi device via a shared network.
Our run-ready image can be flashed directly onto your Pi's SD Card and contains a full distribution of the Raspberry Pi OS and the necessary code for running RNBO on the Pi. It also supports MIDI, class compliant USB Audio Interfaces, and OSC messaging over the network.
Whether you want to make a custom stomp box or guitar pedal or deploy a low-cost solution for your next audio installation, RNBO provides a low friction development process, even for users new to the rPi platform.
What's supported?
RNBO is currently supported for rPi3, rPi4, and Pi Zero 2 W. As of RNBO 1.3.0, rPi5 is also supported.
Our run-ready image, built off Raspberry Pi OS 12 (bookworm), includes everything you need for MIDI, Audio I/O, and OSC interaction. The RNBO version running on the Pi can be updated directly from within Max, making it easy to work with the rPi without ever leaving your patcher.
Applications
Advanced users familiar with the Raspberry Pi platform can Integrate RNBO work with other aspects of the Raspberry Pi. With custom Python scripts, sensors, displays, LEDs, and the plethora of custom hats and electronics that leverage the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins, RNBO code opens the doors to a world of new possibilities.
