TactJam is a collaborative playground for composing spatial tactons. The project is split into the following repositories:

• Hardware interface: https://github.com/TactileVision/TactJam-hardware
• Firmware driving the hardware: https://github.com/TactileVision/TactJam-firmware
• GUI client to view and edit tactons: https://github.com/TactileVision/TactJam-client
• Server to store and manage tactons: https://github.com/TactileVision/TactJam-server

Anyone with the passion for free hardware is welcome to contribute to this project by:

• 🚀 designing hardware
• 👾 filing any issues or suggesting new features
• 🧑‍🏭 sending pull requests for fixed bugs or new features

Before you start, please take a look at the project board and the issues. Maybe there is already a similar bug or feature request that is already under construction and may need your expertise and support.

In 2010 Vincent Driessen wrote a nice blog post where he introduced a branching model called git-flow. Over the years it became very popular and was used in many projects. Meanwhile GitHub introduced a much simpler workflow called GitHub flow. Both approaches have their pros and cons. That’s why we use a combination – git-flow as the branching model and the pull request workflow suggested in GitHub flow.

To make contribution easier for everyone we like use a common structure of git commit messages:
