goregen is the web remote control interface for your regenbox
We've got a slack running at https://regenbox.slack.com/

Everyone's welcome to chat about the project or get live help from the team.
Before being able to connect to your Regenbox, you're gonna need arduino drivers.
Refer to the drivers section for detailed instructions on how to do so.
Download latest release for your OS / architecture at the releases page
You can download from source using go get, if you're familiar with it.
go get -v github.com/solar3s/goregen
After drivers are installed and you downloaded your goregen release, the next step
is to upload the file firmware.ino into the Arduino of your Regenbox.
Once again refer to firmware section for detailed instructions.
If you have proper driver installed & the firmware installed, open a terminal to the extracted folder
and run goregen which should output something like this:
rkj@rkdeb:/tmp/goregen$ ./goregen
2017/06/21 12:51:33 using config file: /tmp/goregen/config.toml
2017/06/21 12:51:33 trying "/dev/ttyUSB0"...
2017/06/21 12:51:33 connected to "/dev/ttyUSB0" in 404.825718ms

A default configuration config.toml is shipped with goregen releases.
You need to modify it using a text editor with appropriate values where needed, restart of goregen is required
for reloading configuration.

If you see a blank oscilloscope and the mention Status: Disconnected, it means something's not quite ready yet on the
hardware side, please refer to the drivers section
rkj@rkdeb:~/go/src/github.com/solar3s/goregen$ ./goregen -h
Usage of ./goregen:
-assets string
restore static assets to provided directory & exit
-config string
path to config (defaults to <root>/config.toml)
-data string
path to data directory (defaults to <root>/data)
-dev string
path to serial port, if empty it will be searched automatically
-log string
path to logs directory (defaults to <root>/log)
-root string
path to goregen's main directory (defaults to executable path)
-v higher verbosity
-version
print version & exit
The project is oh-so-young and needs help from everyone. Testing and documenting comes to mind, in the wiki section for example which needs love, feedback and evolution with the project. Any form of contribution to the code-base is also definitely welcome, for now no specifics are in place but usual guidelines apply.
Please provide as much information as possible and post an issue at the issues page : https://github.com/solar3s/goregen/issues
