Tech is hard. Great communication is also hard. Respect to all who aspire to either. Double respect to those who are great at tech and at communicating how to use it.

Absolutely. This One Easy Trick will go a long way to demolishing the accessibility barriers in the documentation. There are few things more impenetrable than undefined jargon, but also few things easier to overcome through up-front definitions, glossaries, abundant use of hyperlinks, reminders, etc.

Thank you.

PS: Went back and read @dan_derks and @voidstar’s introductory efforts … Exactly Right On Target. I’m very grateful.

I’d like to second @bobbcorr here. I’m not a techie per se, but the documentation has got me up and running very quickly using crow via norns, M4L, Max, druid and i2c integration. Really nice job to all involved and thanks @dan_derks for leading the charge!

Using WSL and druid.

For those who have windows and want a Linux experience, you can enable WSL (Wimdows Subsystem for Lnux) and then install Ubuntu (or Debian or Redhat) from their app store.

Then follow the Windows PowerShell install as described in the docs.

Finally, open an Ubuntu CLI and create a small shell script that executes the druid.exe as in the doc. Be sure to refer to the C: drive as /mnt/c and to change all forward slashes to backslash.

Works on USB-C as well.

Bonne sante
