The D-Link DSR-150 was released in 2012

It was the first information I wanted to know, but it wasn't in the article.

my favorite part is the cat walk with the doors to the rooms, how cool! treehouse vibes.

or submit a screen recording of their writing process.

seems hard to fake that. and you could randomly quiz them on it .

so glad to hear it! you're the first to report back!

btw check out http://reddit.com/r/jamcorder for ongoing discussions.

Wow that is the first hardware product I have heard with this feature.

Up until now I've only known of some DAWs & custom raspberry-pi like solutions.

Though the Fantom X6, you have to push 'record' afterwards. Still cool, though!

Thanks for sharing!

Yes, you have to push the button to access it after, but it's always recording up to the length of it's buffer (which depends on how much RAM you have installed). From my very hazy, vague memory it was ~5 minutes.

I will!

Thats for V2!

Correct, it has midi thru. I call it 'midi out', since it's technically flexible how it could be used, pending firmware updates.

All midi messages are captured, on all 16 channels.

Very custom. By now there is are good USB-MIDI examples and Espressif USB support has come a long way in the past couple years.

Nice, thanks for the links :)

Appreciate your thoughts.

> I am not sure if it will work in 10 years.

This was a big concern of mine too. That's why as much of Jamcorder as possible is open standards.

There is also a local web interface, http://jamcorder.local, that is fully extensible by the user. And the BLE and Wifi APIs are not locked down. You can implement your own app.

The biggest limiting factor IMO, are Wifi and BLE still going to be in common use in 30 years? That's hard to predict. But the SD card will still be there. Its a tough problem.

I think that's about as good as you can do, short of putting a screen on it.

There's even a feature identical UART interface for the device. Surely that will still work in 30 years.

It seems the biggest future proofing thing is that all recordings are just written to an SD card. So even if the app doesn't work at all, you can always pull the card and read data off there.
