x-touch-mini-pi

Put a Raspberry Pi Zero W inside a Behringer X-Touch Mini and implement Xctl/MC/HUI over wifi

Project Goals:

• Given a Behringer X-Touch Mini
• Mount a Raspberry Pi Zero W, battery and charging circuit inside
• alternatively, make a box that attaches to the side or bottom of the X-Touch Mini
• if possible, no case modifications should be made
• soldering to the X-Touch Mini PCB should be limited to the USB port
• In normal use, the USB port should only be required for charging and emergency programming
• The battery(s) should be rechargable and last at least 4 hours
• To th extent feasible, all Xctl functions should be implemented
• Custom button chords should be recognized where needed to provide direct access to functions
• an overlay should be created to document functions
• button and encoder lights should be used to give as much feedback as possible

Phase 1 - Initial Proofs of Concept

• without modifying the X-Touch Mini, develop initial proof of concept on the Pi Zero hardware
• prove whether a Pi Zero W, battery(s) and charging circuit can fit inside the case without modification
• alternatively, design exterior case/attachment
• prove that the Pi Zero can power and communicate bidirectionally with the X-Touch Mini
• prove that the Pi Zero can communicate bidirectionally with a target device (X-Air mixer, DAW)

Phase 2 - Build The Hardware

Phase 3 - Complete Integrations with various target devices/software
