Midiboy <-> Orac UI

Getting Started

1.0.2 Blokas Boards

It's required to be using 1.0.2 Blokas Boards definition files, here's how to upgrade if necessary:

1. Run Arduino IDE.
2. Tools->Board->Boards Manager...
3. Search for 'Blokas'.
4. If the version shows up as 1.0.2, update is not needed.
5. Otherwise, highlight the Blokas AVR boards entry and click Install at the bottom right.
6. Once complete, select Midiboy again in Tools->Board.

Sketch and Bridge Install

1. Upload orac-controller.ino sketch from orac-controller/ folder to your Midiboy.
2. Install OracCtlBridge.py on your Raspberry Pi:

   git clone https://github.com/BlokasLabs/orac-controller
   cd orac-controller
   sudo ./install.sh
   

3. Connect Midiboy via USB to your Raspberry Pi, it should automatically connect to Orac and display the UI. If it doesn't, make sure Orac and MEC are running and reconnect Midiboy.
