WARBL Forum

Yes, the existing iOS app works with the WARBL2. If you open it now without having your original WARBL connected, you should see the new controls for the WARBL2-- they are just hidden if you have an original WARBL connected. Does that answer your question? Regarding the fingerings, the new version h...

Fixed it, thanks!

I am happy to announce the WARBL2, which has many new features and improvements while maintaining the original form factor (it is just 5 mm longer). Improvements include: BLE (wireless) MIDI, an inertial measurement unit (IMU: accelerometer and gyroscope), USB-C, an integrated bell sensor, an RGB LE...

Pleasure! Sorry you weren't able to get the pitchbend data you were hoping for. In my experience sensing fingers 1 cm away is already pushing the sensors to the limit, as they're really designed for presence/absence sensing in the range of a few mm.

If you’ve disabled the CDC class as described on the GitHub site you’ll have to enable that again in order to print to the serial monitor. Here’s the info about that: https://github.com/amowry/warbl?tab=readme-ov-file#a-few-additional-notes In other words, you’ll need to recomment this line in the U...

Okay, yes-- it does sound like the holes are being "seen" as partially covered even when they are totally uncovered. I think this has to do with the senseDistance variable, and I just noticed that my notes in the code for that variable say: "Needs to be higher than the baseline sensor...

Interesting-- I want to make sure I understand correctly. Are you saying that you've recalibrated the sensors so that they "light up" in blue in the Config Tool but they are applying a pitchbend value even when fully covered and illuminated in blue? As far as I'm aware, if a hole is regist...

Unfortunately, the sensors are only able to detect your fingers around 1 cm away, so if you're adding another enclosure around the WARBL I don't think you'll be able to get any useful readings from them. When designing the WARBL I tried to make it so that your fingers are as close to the sensors as ...

Good question. The sensor values increase as your fingers get closer. They are in the low single digits with your fingers completely removed and range up to around 200-300 touching the toneholes. They also increase exponentially, so they are much more sensitive when fingers are very close to them. T...

Yes, that one should still work fine, though there may be a few features that aren't available. The current version is always in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/amowry/warbl/tree/master It's a little more difficult to retrieve there-- I believe you have to download all the WARBL code, by c...
