Alpaca-FW

Teensyduino-based firmware for Alpaca v1 electronics. Runs on Teensy 3.x/LC.

Features

• 16 key shift register-based general purpose input (partially remappable, WIP)
• Shift register-based 8 channel programmable lamp driver/power switch (expandable)
• Has a built-in UI for runtime controller settings, no need for a PC
• Stable 250Hz (1kHz when compiled with turbo mode enabled) report output
• True slider (although it uses resistive sensing and feels different than official)
  • Capacitive sensing ETA unknown
• Immune to system updates depending on your settings of USB descriptor thanks to the usage of traditional passthrough technique (instead of relying on stolen keys like B***k)
• Does not use delay() unless absolutely necessary or does not matter
• Hackable in every sense unlike B***k boards
• Built with love :P

Build

0. Install PlatformIO

1. Execute patches/auto.sh under patches.

cd patches && bash ./auto.sh

2. Copy patches/patched/framework-arduinoteensy-ds4 to package directory under your PlatformIO settings directory and patches/patched/teensy-ds4 to platforms directory.

cd patched
cp -r framework-arduinoteensy-ds4 /path/to/your/pfio/config/dir/packages
cp -r teensy-ds4 /path/to/your/pfio/config/dir/platforms

3. Run pio run at the project root directory.

cd ../../
pio run

4. Now you can use pio run -t upload to upload the built firmware to your teensy.
