Properly handle ctag overlay #86

Closed giuliomoro closed 4 years ago

giuliomoro commented 5 years ago

Shall we add the overlay by default to uEnv.txt and then whoever wants to use those pins for something else (e.g.: quadrature encoders) disables it?

Also @henrix what overlay should we use ? We have an old one here but I see you have two more in here. What happens if we load the 16ch version when only the FACE is available?

TODO: enable it by default in uEnv.txt.

henrix commented 5 years ago

Right, it should be enabled in the uEnv.txt.

For Bela, this overlay should be used. The other overlays are for ALSA. If the 16ch is enabled, the master board (i.e. face) can be still used as long as the master board is responsible for clock generation. The first eight channels always correspond to the master board.

giuliomoro commented 5 years ago

great. Are there any plans to have that overlay merged into bb.org-overlays or shall we maintain it ourselves?

henrix commented 5 years ago

I think it's better to maintain it yourself due configuration settings, which are mostly Bela, and not ALSA (i.e. "standard" Linux) related.

giuliomoro commented 4 years ago

it is enabled by default as of f1a9720ab0464583a37b49a997c3f942643ec7e9, so closing this.
