Raspberry Pi’s have been virtually sold out world wide since the beginning of 2022. We got a batch of 50 last summer from the RPi foundation which kept me able to send kits for a while, but those have run out. pi-Stomp without a pi, is not too exciting so I stopped stocking parts for …
We’re at a good point to invest some serious effort to add some new value to pi-Stomp. This might be in the form of software features, expansion modules or even a new pi-Stomp board (v3). Don’t worry, we are fully committed to continued support for v1 and v2 hardware, and will always try our best …
Thanks to some awesome work by a fellow pi-Stomper, Micah, and some testing by the community, the 64-bit OS with realtime kernel has been merged to mainline. Can you say, “more efficient processing” ? v2.1.0 Build/Install instructions here The install process is a bit easier than before. No need to connect via hotspot first as …

I imagine you’re all sick of hearing stories of Supply chain issues, but here’s another. Since pi-Stomp launched, at least a couple dozen times, parts have been unavailable, so I’ve had to switch vendors or switch to a completely different part. It’s been a hassle but never a huge problem. This year has been different. …

It’s been a long time coming. pi-Stomp Core was created to allow builders to build their dream multi-effects processor. But since customization of controls dictates the enclosure, builders were on their own to machine their own. We got plenty of requests to make an enclosure available that includes a fairly common configuration: 3 footswitches, 2 …

Finally got parts in stock to make more kits available. Most kits arrive in the US within 4 days of ordering. Can ship most anywhere in the world as well, it just takes longer. Over 60 pi-Stomps have been built in 15+ countries now. Also, now offering footswitches and inline power switches as add on …

Sent off an order for a new batch of pi-Stomp Core circuit boards this week. Now I’m stocking the store and should be shipping kits by the end of August. Another larger batch will be available in September. The new board (v2.0.4) includes an improved expansion header, but is otherwise the same schematic as previous …

Today, I sent off 7 pre-sale pi-Stomp Core kits. Three new countries added to the map (France, Netherlands and South Africa). I’ll be waiting to hear how those builds go before ordering new boards. Once it seems that builds are successful, I’ll make another batch of kits available on the store. In the meantime, I’ll …

Blokas Labs is an awesome organization and creator of one of the main pieces of open-source software used by pi-Stomp. Every month they feature two DIY musicians doing inventive things with their software. We were interviewed and featured this month. https://blokas.io/reads/
