@prokoudine @GIMP @FreeCAD what would be great is if Darkglass offered linux driver and suite support!
@MightyHealthy673 I do 't think it needs a driver per se, but for suite support def agreed :) @falktx any word on that?
@prokoudine @MightyHealthy673 Likely not happening any time soon, we don't have the staff to give support for Linux in any proper way.
Even running the thing locally on my Linux PC I often have to run through a few hoops just to make the suite UI show up.
That said... I have done some tests on an alternative solution that skips the Electron framework, HID communication works well already.
Maybe someone is interested on collaborating on an Anagram specific UI tool?
@prokoudine @MightyHealthy673 oh and yeah no custom drivers are needed whatsoever, the USB support is class compliant as it comes from a Linux OS, it uses 4 components:
- HID (communication with Suite app)
- Serial / CDC ACM (for big payloads, like updates and user files; HID is too slow)
- MIDI
- Audio (coming in v1.2 update very soon)
This is all Linux stuff based on https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.1/usb/gadget-testing.html
