The Demos

The workbench comes bundled with a number of demo scripts which run simple animations and interactions on the monome. The workbench runs one script at a time, and a "preset" demo script can be loaded by pressing the appropriate named button.

The workbench loads these scripts from a particular known directory (the directory which contains the file shado-workbench.PLACE_HOLDER). It also provides a dropdown menu of all the text files in this directory:

If you add new files to this directory, push the button labelled "list text files" to regenerate the list.

To run the demos, attach a monome and launch MonomeSerial. Make sure the I/O protocol is set to OpenSound Control, the host port to 8000, the listen port to 8080, and the address pattern prefix to /shado. The demo scripts should now work. Each script has an "about me" comment which is displayed in the workbench window when the script is loaded.
