This repo contains the graphical configuration tool for USBSID-Pico.
It exists as supplement and next to the command line config tool and web configtool.
The Configtool is written in Clojure which is a lisp that runs on top of Java. It's really neat, go check it out!
It also uses cljfx which is an extensive wrapper around JavaFX for Clojure.
To communicate with USBSID-Pico it uses the Java driver I made which is separately available, but not needed for the releases (it's included).
The driver runs on top of javax.usb or usb4java depending on the platform you are on!
The minimum USBSID-Pico firmware version to be able to use the config tool is 0.5.0-BETA.
For the best experience version 0.7.0-BETA is advised!
Due to breaking changes in the way the socket values are handled, I advise upgrading to the latest firmware version.
These changes are visual only for pcb v1.3 and lower, but required for pcb v1.4 and higher due to voltage configuration.
