WARNING: This repo now lives here: https://gitlab.com/soenkehahn/touchscreen-instrument
This is a musical instrument running on linux using an external monitor with
touchscreen support. It currently works with the gechic 1503i monitor.
Here's a video of a performance using the instrument by @caroline-lin, @dan-f and @soenkehahn: https://youtu.be/9unGIcbHJ0A
You'll need rustup and a few dependencies as listed here.
Run the test-suite with:
cargo test
Run the debug version:
cargo run
There is a command line interface, see:
cargo run -- --help
If you don't have a touchscreen attached to your computer, you can still run just the ui of the program with:
cargo run -- --dev-mode
Build the release version:
cargo build --release
Install and run the release version:
cargo install --force && touchscreen-instrument
There's an ansible script that sets up the touchscreen-instrument on a
raspberry pi. It assumes that raspbian is installed and that the device can be
accessed with ssh through pi@raspberrypi.local. Run the deployment with:
make deploy
This'll take some time on the first run. It compiles the program on the raspberry.
