this guide assumes that you want to run an application on a KLST_TINY board. see How to Upload or Run Applications for other platforms.

  • connect audio connector HEADPHONES+MIC to headphones or speakers
  • connect USB port DEVICE+PWR to computer

a white LED located next to the USB port lights up.

  • install the Klangstrom hardware library, see Installation for detailed instructions.
  • (re)start the Arduino IDE
  • select platform: Tools > Board > Klangstrom (MCU) > Klangstrom (STM32)
  • select board: Tools > Board part number > KLST_TINY(STM32F446RE)

  • select upload method: Tools > Upload Method > STM32CubeProgrammer (DFU).

  • note for linux users: if you have problems connecting to the programmer, make sure to copy udev rules from Drivers folder to /etc/udev/rules.d/ (see Readme.txt in /home/USER/STMicroelectronics/STM32Cube/STM32CubeProgrammer/Drivers/rules)

after selecting a platform all examples are available under File > Examples > Klangstrom > ….

  • open example: File > Examples > Klangstrom > klangstrom > KLST--Blink
  • compile + upload sketch: Sketch > Upload

once the example is uploaded LED_00 blinks and a single 110Hz note plays. now try running the same example in the simulator:

  • select platform: Tools > Board > Klangstrom (DESKTOP) > Klangstrom (SDL)
  • compile + upload sketch: Sketch > Upload

once the example runs a window appears with also LED_00 blinking and a single 110Hz note playing.

Where to go from here?

the project is structured into three different sections:

  • Klangstrom ( Application )
  • Klang ( Sound + Digital Audio Signal Processing )
  • Strom ( Composition + Methods + Structure )

browsing, running and modifying examples is most playful way to learn about Klangstrom. a more structured approach is to browse through topics in the Operation Manual.
