Digigurdy-baz Documentation Main Page

Welcome to the repository for the digigurdy-baz code. If you're thinking, "What on Earth is a digigurdy-baz?", check out the Digigurdy website at https://digigurdy.com for info on the instrument itself by John Dingley. This is the software that runs it.

Why -baz? I'm Basil, and I didn't want to call it the same thing as the object itself :-)

Refer here for help compiling, installing, and using this code on your Digigurdy.

User Guide

Installing/Upgrading your Digigurdy

  • Updating your Digigurdy (with pre-compiled code) - how to install the "builds" listed below to upgrade the software on your gurdy without having to compile it yourself. Here's a video of the process:

Latest Builds

NOTE: The versions below (especially the testing version) are not necessarily the latest versions. It's just the latest version with pre-compiled builds available.

These are the latest builds available pre-compiled. The builds are .hex files in the /builds folder in these branches of the repository. Simply download the ZIP file here as-needed, extract it on your computer, and find the builds folder in it.

Compiling the Code Manually

Branches can be downloaded as zip files (the green "Code" button on each branch page), but if you're going to be compiling the code I recommend you pull the git repository yourself, especially if you want to submit changes (pull requests).

Digigurdy-baz is the awkward name for the software that powers the Digi-gurdy.

The Digi-gurdy is an electronic/MIDI hurdy gurdy.
