We won’t be offering comprehensive customer support for open source projects. Use at your own risk, and if you get stuck, you can always reset your CHOMPI back to factory settings with the bootloader and TAPE 2.0 card profile.
Developers and code nerds who have familiarity with Daisy & Open Source projects. The GitHub has all of the code, hardware, and firmware files necessary to build your own CHOMPI / firmware if you know how to code in C++.
Beginners, people who just want to play CHOMPI and have fun. You can still customize your CHOMPI experience using the CONFIG Tool and / or formatting your own samples
We are not providing customer support for Open Source projects, or CHOMPI’s developed / made by 3rd parties. Check out the Open Source channel for community discussion on our Chase Bliss Discord.
Joel, Julian, Chelsea, & Tobias talk about the final chapter of this version of CHOMPI, and open the door for pals to explore new ideas on their own.
This is a discontinuation open-source release: a permanent source for the files and documentation, and it will likely not be receiving updates. To customize it, clone the repo into your own GitHub. This repository holds the original source files for hardware and software – including blank enclosure panels – that make up the CHOMPI Mk1. All CHOMPI artwork has been excluded.
As part of our Open Source release, we’ve included a beta release of a fun firmware exploration. WAVE is an 8-voice wavetable synthesizer that runs on your CHOMPI. Parts of WAVE will feel familiar if you’ve spent time with TAPE or TEMPO, but it’s also its own thing — intentionally stripped back, while still maintaining a bit of CHOMPI flavor throughout.
To a degree yes, but we will not support those units, and they may not use the CHOMPI trademark branding/name.
