Hi guys,

It's been a bit difficult to work on that project during the holidays, but now I've got the motivation again. I've made sure that all the hardware is going to be feasible, so I'm now focusing on the software. Hardware stuff will have to wait, but as soon as the software is (almost?) finished, I'll definitely focus on the sensors, drums, cymbals, etc.

The reason I have so much motivation for the software is because it's starting to look quite good! In only a few days, I modified most of it to improve the communication between the GUI and libeXaDrums.

This is how the GUI looks right now, on a Raspberry Pi3 and its touchscreen (Ubuntu MATE 16.04).

As you can see, the faders are their! You can also select different drum kits, and all that stuff is update in real time.

FYI, the GUI's been inspired by the most expensive commercial drum modules that you can find. I think this the strength of that project. It can look the way you want, even like the most expensive drum module, and it's still cheap, it works, and has proven to be quite fast (latency ~8ms). That's basically a professional drum module for the price of a Raspberry Pi and a touchscreen...

Cheers.
