Simultaneous download and install of OS to USB memory stick.
Next, it's time to see if I can find some driver support for this usb sound card. Otherwise I'm stuck using the PCM mini plug output directly from off the board. A less than desirable audio will result from using the later.
Microphone Input, and Stereo Output is supported on this device. The drivers come up within Raspbian whenever device is connected. No problems here.
I have used Putty to install a VNC server onto the Raspberry PI. A bash script is deployed at boot to start the server whenever the Pi is running. Next I install Pure Data successfully, and begin to create a Pure Data patch over my local network using a VNC client from my Windows PC.
Pure data is installed and up and running. I have created a 16 step saw wave sequencer patch to begin designing and testing against. The next step will be to get the GPIO pins working. My aim, for starters, is to be able to send gate/trigger symbols out of those pins.
I've made a nifty little enclosure for my pi.

Rasberry Pi - Pure Data

Getting familiar with Rasberry Pi. First steps are to get the OS installed and to install Pure Data. An attempt will be made to see if I can get audio out from an external USB audio stick.



Additionally there is a GPIO expansion header on-board which I can develop for receiving and sending I/O control messages to other devices.
