PikoPD - automate PD patch building for the Raspberry Pi Pico
After three month hard work I am releasing pikoPD v0.0.1 -
a project which automates Pure Data patch building into Raspberry PICO firmware using HVCC compiler and Pico C/C++ SDK.
The main goal is to develop interface between the Raspberry Pi Pico, its peripherals and PD, providing an interactive workflow for creating embedded audio and MIDI tools.
Right now pikoPD already supports leds, buttons, encoders, sensors, i2s and pwm audio, usb and uart midi (also usb midi host), display and some experimental features - OSC and WEB protocols for pico_w boards. All that is configurable using simple json file and no coding is needed.
This is a big project for a solo developer so I hope that community will see potential, join the development and help with testing.

Also I made interactive pikoPD hardware configuration WEB tool.
