Morph on Raspberry Pi?

What is the current situation of using the Morph with a USB connection on the Raspberry Pi? The Linux support in senselliblinux.deb is presumably x86 (32 or 64 bit). What’s the potential for use of a Morph on a Raspberry Pi, i.e. an ARM-based Linux platform?

While I have no idea on the compatibility, what sort of functionality would you be looking for?

  • Basic MIDI capabilities?
  • Programing new Overlays?
  • Raw pressure detection?

I’m looking for a C API library identical to the one that is available for Windows, OSX, and Linux, here: https://github.com/sensel/sensel-api/tree/master/sensel-install . I see that there’s a senselliblinux0.8.2-arm.deb file there - I’ll try it when I get the Raspberry Pi 4 that I ordered. I’d like to see if anyone is currently using it on an ARM-based Linux (i.e. Raspberry Pi).

It is too bad their driver isn’t entirely open source, otherwise contributors outside the company could adapt the driver to any platform.

I’ve since successfully ported my morph utility (which talks to one or more Morphs and puts out TUIO/OSC messages) to the Raspberry Pi, you can find the source at https://github.com/nosuchtim/morph

Some folks might be more interested in my port of KeyKit to the Raspberry Pi, at https://github.com/nosuchtim/keykit
