I'm currently adding instructions to the project page to make the installation and configuration of eXaDrums easy. To make it super easy, I created an installation script that you can download from the "files" section: https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/9350400030400/Install_eXaDrums.zip. Please read the instructions to install eXaDrums, the "configuration" section is to be written, but you will need to read it to get the software working!
The installation script has been tested on a lot of different devices and operating systems. Here's a list:
- Two laptops - Debian Sid and Xubuntu 16.04
- Another laptop - Xubuntu 16.04
- Raspberry Pi 3B - Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and Raspbian Jessie (Xfce)
- Raspberry Pi B+ - Raspbian Jessie (Xfce)
The very surprising thing is that it still works on the B+. The latency isn't even that bad! It's about 15 ms, which isn't spectacular, but still acceptable, so I'm well please with that. Here's a screenshot of eXaDrums running on the B+ (Raspbian + Xfce):
Thanks to a friend (Lee, the giant cat), I now have some LiPo batteries, and a voltage regulator, so I can use my drum module anywhere for a few hours! That's just a bonus, but it's very cool and exciting. Here's a pic of eXaDrums running on my Pi 3 (Ubuntu MATE), using the LiPo batteries:
It's all coming together!!!
