About

One Button Recording with Buffer, with Raspberry/PatchboxOS and Pisound.

Tap The Button once to record the past 3 minutes, tap again to stop

Core

• recording.sh: Wrapper for Pisound Button
  • Handles starting and stopping of recording
  • Blinks the led during recording
• recording.service: SystemD unit for recording
  • Uses MODEP's Audio Recordings directory
  • jack_capture timemachine/osc daemon logic
  • captures 180 seconds (3 minutes) of buffer before you pushed the button (configurable, if you change --tmpb 180 in the service file)

Usage

• Install (see below)
• Press button to start recording, including the past 3 minutes, led starts blinking
• Press button to stop recording, blinking intensivies when done
• View files in [http://patchbox.local:8081/browse/Audio%20Recordings][http://patchbox.local:8081/browse/Audio%20Recordings]

Debugging

• watch systemctl status recording.service
• journalctl -f -u recording.service

Requirements

• Patchbox OS (Tested with Debian 12 (bookworm))
• Patchbox MODEP Module (optional, if you change capture_dir in the service file)
• Raspberry Pi (Tested with 4 B - 2GB)
• Pisound, optionally with case

    sudo make install
    sudo sed -i 's:^\(CLICK_1[[:space:]]\+\).*$:\1/usr/local/pisound/scripts/pisound-btn/recording.sh:' /etc/pisound.conf
