Building an installation that reacts to real world has many facets. It often involves touching on everything: design, fixtures, hardware, music, visuals, etc...  
While connecting a software running on a PC to the real world data might sound trivial for some of you, hackaday reader, the electronics work behind it is far from negligible if want to go beyond a basic breadboard-like setup. Doing the design, wiring, coding, interfacing with software, testing sensors and getting the most out of them... even when you know your way with all the development boards available, this remains time consuming. And whenever you need to adjust some settings, you would have to reprogram it. So for those who begin with code and electronics, it might simply feel like mission impossible !  
 

Having interfaced piles of arduino too many times for various projects over the years, the reflection for a solution started. And that's how the development of Pipo began, to bring a standardized system that is quick and easy to setup, flexible and accessible to more people.  
This project hopes to give super powers to beginners and creatives, and provide a fast, feature-rich solution to more advanced users, so that you can spend time working on all the other aspects of your creation without struggling with proper sensing and interfacing.
