Welcome to Pipo Interfaces
The plug and play modules to easily create live interactions
What is the pipo project ?
Pipo Interfaces is a new ecosystem of open source control modules designed to easily create live interactions with music, lights, video, or 3D. Pipo modules make their environment interactive. They turn movement, touch, distance, or other sensors into wireless MIDI or OSC controllers without coding.Pipo Interfaces is an open-source project aimed at spreading new tools to create unique and sensitive audiovisual experiences. Pipo will be released soon as pre-orders on crowdsupply. In the meanwhile, visit the CrowdSupply campaign page and subsribe to follow the progress.
pipo motion
A 6 axis (orientation and acceleration) high precision wireless mouvement controller. Precise and sensitive motion for MiDi, OSC, or HID (Mouse/Gamepad mode)
pipo analog
6 voltage inputs to acquire any analog sensor (up to 12v) + 6 touch inputs as MiDi/OSC/HID
pipo range
A distance ranging controller. Sense your environement (up to 5m)
Main features
MIDI
OSC (OpenSoundControl)
Bluetooth
WiFi
Gamepad mode
USB-C
No code, easy customization
Each modules hosts a WiFi configuration page, to allow to edit settings anywhere, from any device, without any application.

Project insights
Pipo is a project under construction. It is mostly built by RupR (Electronics Engineer) and supported by his friend Leo (Web Developper).
Pipo is open source project, and contribution to the project are welcome. Feel free to write us.
Pipo development started more than a year ago, but its approach is the result of many years making interactive installations and missing the right tools. After years doing sensing with arduino and alternatives, I decided to build and share Pipo to enable people to use advanced sensing much more easily.
