The loom pedals are a hardware peripheral interface for the TC2 digital Jacquard loom by Tronrud Engineering. They have been designed as a modular system of foot pedals, similar to guitar effects pedals used by musicians, which are connected via driver software to a web-based open source weaving program, AdaCAD.
This repository contains Node.JS programs for different possible configurations of the Loom Pedals hardware, maintaining connections to the pedals, TC2, and AdaCAD. The physical pedals version requires a Raspberry Pi running Node.JS, along with the pedals hardware. The virtual pedals version does not require any hardware outside of the user's personal computer and existing TC2 hardware. NOTE: not all parts of the code are currently public. We are working out how to share these details.
