# HexBoard MIDI Controller
The HexBoard is a 140-key board designed for techno-musicians, babies, and computer people.
You can [order your HexBoard today](https://shapingthesilence.com/tech/hexboard-midi-controller/),
or [contact Jared](mailto:jared@shapingthesilence.com) if you're interested in assembling it yourself.
## The Team
* Jared DeCook has been writing music, developing hardware, and performing as [Shaping The Silence](https://shapingthesilence.com/) for over a decade.
* Zach DeCook has been listening to music, breaking hardware, and occasionally writing software since the former discovered his exploitable talents.
## HexBoard Arduino firmware
The Arduino firmware is the default firmware for the HexBoard (and is what this repository contains).
### Building the firmware
If you want to build the firmware,
we'll assume you're already proficient at installing software on your computer at this point.
#### Using [Arduino-IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software)
(Instructions to come)
#### Using [arduino-cli](https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/)
(Instructions to come)
### Flashing the firmware
1. Unplug the HexBoard from your computer, then plug it in while holding the button by the USB port.
2. It should appear as a disk in your computer.
3. Copy the .uf2 firmware file onto that disk
4. The disk should eject, and the HexBoard should automatically reboot into that firmware.
