/**(PRESS BUTTONs TO BUY THINGS)**/
this course will cover many of the basic techniques for making your own video synthesis and video processing programs on the raspberry pi 3b/3b+.
Requirements
1. Some very basic experience in any kind of programming language like python, java, javascript, c, c++, matlab, really anything works so long as you have some minimal comfort in the basic concept of typing out weird instructions that a computer that somehow understand.
2. we will take it for granted you will know things like basic datatypes (int, float, bool), data structures (arrays), functions & procedures, conditionals etc.
3. a raspberry pi 3b with Waaave Pool installed on an SD card (download image here)
4. usb keyboard + mouse/trackpad, usb camera (logitech c310/270 recommended), and optional usb midi controller (korg nk2 recommend). The cheapo HDMI to usb dongle can be helpful too if you want to share your screen with the class in real time for fun or for help with debugging.
Syllabus
class 1: basic i/o for user controls and video, whats the difference between c++ and glsl, color spaces & geometry
class 2: modulation and oscillators, video rate vs frame rate, phase modulation
class 3: framebuffers & video feedback
class 4: processing external video, keying & mixing, bringing it all together
