We use a 128x64 oLED display to provide basic information (e.g. current state and settings). What should be shown and how to organize information on a tiny display?

Enable the push buttons to play vibrotactile patterns live (no recording).

The firmware may not be finished when we ship the devices. we also want to release new features or bug-fixes. How can we do this in a easy way for users?

1. rely on a (tagged) release version on GitHub, which users should download and build themselves
2. provide a single file, which users have to upload to the ESP32 via terminal
3. some kind of automation

TactJam can store multiple tactons. The active tacton can be selected via a rotary switch.

Play a recorded tacton from a given slot.

Record a tacton while playing it live.

Receive a tacton from the PC and store it in a given slot (e.g. selected via rotary switch).

The dev-board exposed only 8 of 16 PWM pins. The v1.1.2 exposes all 16 pins and has a different mapping.

Tactons can be optionally played back in a loop.

Send a selected tacton to the PC (via USB).

After recording the "melody" of a tacton users can alter the amplitude (actuator intensity) in a second pass. These modulations are recorded too.
