Running MODEP
After having enabled the MODEP module in patchbox utility, you have to use a browser on your computer or tablet, or even the Raspberry Pi itself if you have a mouse and a monitor hooked up, to open the MODEP UI page.
If your device is connected to the Patchbox WiFi hotspot (default password is blokaslabs), try to open one of the URLs:
- http://172.24.1.1/
- http://patchbox.local/ 1
- http://127.0.0.1/ - Only if on Raspberry Pi itself.
-
*.local domain addresses depend on mDNS service. Up to date Linux and MAC OSes support it by default, while Windows 10 requires installing Apple's Bonjour Print Services for Windows ↩
Otherwise, your devices must be connected to the same local network, you should find the IP of the Raspberry Pi and use it with the http:// prefix. In case of any issues, take a look at Troubleshooting.
And that’s it! Now you can start building your pedalboards.
