deep-symmetry / beat-carabiner Goto Github PK

Hello there,
Would it be possible to run this project on an ESP32, running for example Espruinoon the machine?
The goal would be to connect Ableton Link and xdj devices without running a computer.

I already started an Arduino-project with an ESP32-C3(Singlecore 80Mhz) and a W5500(Ethernet) module connected over SPI just to play arround with the udp packages which were sent from Ableton and my other gear. Someone else already figured out some variables and made a "cheatsheet", but as I thought there is much more magic going on to synchronize at least the Ableton link devices with each other...

So before I make a deep dive into clojure I have a few questions:

• Is this project tied to a certain kind of hardware?
• how much work would it be to get this running on a microcontrollerboard/raspberryPi etc.?
• Is this even possible?

I would be very happy about your opinions, tips and assessments.
Thank you

Tried on RPI and it works (mostly)!
The beat-carabiner finds the players, attaches to the master, sends the beat info to the Carabiner and this one provides the Ableton Link connectivity via the RPI's wifi... All the connected devices are responding to the pitch changes pretty swiftly which is good...

BUT I am getting lots of errors like the one below and having a hard time to keep things in time - tested on my ipad and the ipad is not in sync with the players.

Since this was released, a lot has happened in the Beat Link world.

• The Carabiner protocol has been enhanced to protect against messages being grouped into a single network packet.
• Support for Ableton Link version 3 Start/Stop (transport) control has been added.
• Beat Link can now send status packets, become tempo master, and cause CDJs to stay aligned to the Ableton Link timeline.

I’m not sure when I will have time to port those features to this project, but since I already implemented them in Beat Link Trigger, if anyone else is interested in trying, I can help orient them.
