Building SC plugin to read MAX3010x data over i2c

Jjaseknighter · Jan 8, 2024

First time poster here and happy new year to all!

There is a SuperCollider plugin to read MAX3010x sensor data over i2c that I'd like to use with a Bela: https://github.com/kasparsj/sc-max3010x

Is there a way to tell what changes (if any) will be required to successfully build this for Bela? Also, I have never built a UGen before and am curious if the instructions from this thread are still valid:

cd /root/<plugin directory>
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DSC_PATH=/root/supercollider -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -O2" -DCMAKE_CPP_FLAGS="-march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -O2" ..
make
make install

I'm not sure if it matters, but I am using experimental Bela image v0.5.0alpha2 (required for running FluCoMa).

Appreciate the assistance!

It looks like it may work out of the box , however I suspect this line needs to be uncommented to avoid wasting a lot of useless cpu time

Super, thank you! I will report back after I try the build steps.

EDIT
my initial attempt at a build failed. here is the output:

Remove Debugging from this line https://github.com/kasparsj/sc-max3010x/blob/master/plugin/CMakeLists.txt#L76

This looks like the first lone of the file contains two stray -. Remove those

jaseknighter root/sc-max3010x/plugin/Max30102_UGen.cpp:3:10: fatal error: SC_Lock.h: No such file or directory
3 | #include "SC_Lock.h"
| ~~~~~_~~

This looks like the SC_PATH is not passed properly to the cmake command. can you show the command you used?

Jjaseknighter · Jan 9, 2024

i think i fixed the stray - characters, but the max3010x/plugin/Max30102_UGen.cpp:3:10: fatal error: SC_Lock.h: No such file or directory still occurs

the cmake command i used is cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSC_PATH=/usr/share/SuperCollider/ ../

EDIT
i realized that i was not actually pointing to SuperCollider, so I downloaded supercollider and copied it to /root and reran cmake with cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSC_PATH=/root/supercollider ../ then after running make i didn't get an error and the process ended with:

100%] Linking CXX shared module Max30102.so
[100%] Built target Max30102

i will continue with the extension installation process and report back.

appreciate the help!

Soooo...I can now run the MAX30105_debug application bundled with the code and after wiring up the sensor, i see output data like:

] R[ 91979] IR[ 94734] Hz[ 378.514854] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91966] IR[ 94757] Hz[ 378.511380] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 92040] IR[ 94748] Hz[ 378.507906] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91930] IR[ 94660] Hz[ 378.520360] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91917] IR[ 94700] Hz[ 378.516886] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91909] IR[ 94701] Hz[ 378.513413] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91892] IR[ 94673] Hz[ 378.509941] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91899] IR[ 94615] Hz[ 378.522390] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91878] IR[ 94629] Hz[ 378.518917] BPM[ 134]
] R[ 91889] IR[ 94603] Hz[ 378.515445] BPM[ 134]

and the numbers change when i put my finger on the sensor. so this is progress!

however, i tried using the example supercollider code:

{ Max30102.kr(0) * WhiteNoise.ar!2 * 0.1 }.play; // white noise modulated by pulse

and the terminal shows this error:

*** ERROR: dlopen '/root/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/MAX30105/plugins/Max30102.so' err '/root/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/MAX30105/plugins/Max30102.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8MAX301055beginER9WireLinuxjh'

jaseknighter and the terminal shows this error:

*** ERROR: dlopen '/root/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/MAX30105/plugins/Max30102.so' err '/root/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/MAX30105/plugins/Max30102.so: undefined symbol: _ZN8MAX301055beginER9WireLinuxjh'

try make clean and rebuild and reinstall: I see no undefined symbol when I run this. If the error persists, show the output of nm -a /root/.local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/MAX30105/plugins/Max30102.so | grep -i begin

a clean build got things working but bpm isn’t updating from the ugen for some reason. i’ll reach out to the developer to see if they have any suggestions. again appreciate all the help!
