Show control 'go button' box and associated code
This Python code is to basically provide a thing-to-thing interface for anything Theatre. The primary and first application for it will be a 'Go box' with a small display, big-ass1 Red and Green buttons for Stop and Go, a few other buttons and a footswitch port (when you need to kick something for Go).
It looks something like this:
NOTE this image is a slightly out-of-date one showing a 2-line character display. I've since updated the code and the box prototype to use the small PiTFT display which is much more functional - I'll update this design image when I design a 'real' box.
It will spit out OSC or MIDI commands and display useful stuff on the small display.
It is configurable for different functions, the currently supported / tested and configured ones are:
- MD control of click-tracks
- ... more to come!
For Ansible (on the server):
NOTE Ansible code is not yet updated - more work is required (as the box documentation) to work with the pitft screen.
- pip install passlib NOTE: Most, if not all of these should be handled by ansible playbook now.
