#lighthack

These are projects based original on the #lighthack project from ETC https://github.com/ETCLabs/lighthack
You find further informations also in the ETC forum https://community.etcconnect.com/etclabs/f/lighthack
All projects uses an Arduino Arduino UNO, but also an Arduino MEGA gives you connection to your console. On nomad you can use other boards, but you have to figure out which works.

box1

Is a cleaned version of the original box1

box2A

Is a modifcation of the original box1 and uses the former Next and Last buttons to step thru a parameter list.
Because of the limited RAM of the Arduino UNO, the parameter list is limited and depends on the size of the parameter names.
On an Arduino UNO the is maximum of 14 parameter names.
On an Arduino MEGA more than 14 parameters can be used, also on other boards like Teensy 3.x or 4
For Teensy you need to fake the PID/VID of the USB connection to work with a console, have a look to the forum.
Added a keyword „none“ for gaps in the parameter list, former titeled as „empty“.

box2B

Extends the box2A with extra buttons for Next / Last keys
It uses the buttons of the encoder for posting the Home position

faderwing

Is a small faderwing with 6 faders and 12 buttons for Stop / Go

macrobox

Is a box with 12 buttons to fire Macros, actual 101 thru 112 but this can easily changed.

What’s next

There are some things to do because of heap fragmentation using many parameters on microcontrollers with less RAM. This is caused of dynamic memory allocation with malloc/new and free/delete in the Arduino String library and the OSC library from CNMAT.

• eleminating Arduino String library calls using the classic C string.h
• replace the OSC library with a simplified one
  

And for future a dedicated library for EOS.
