Getting started

From the project's README ("No Man Sky FM"):

A space adventure for the M-VAVE FM-1. One hand flies the ship with two knobs, the other makes the music. Land on planets, mine, fight robots, warp between stars, and play the soundtrack of your own journey. Current version v0.5, based on SLOOP 2.7.1.

  • Site, installer and 3D simulator (the real firmware in your browser, with sound): https://hericdk.github.io/nomanskyFM/
  • Install on your FM-1: open the site in Chrome or Edge, connect the FM-1 by USB and press install. The package is also in release/nmsfm-0.5.fwsc.
  • License: GPL-3.0-only, like SLOOP and Felucca.

A quick press keeps the usual function. Only holding, double tapping or pressing together does something new: tapped once, OCT− and OCT+ still change the octave, HOME goes home, PLAY plays, REC records, and every other button does what it always did on SLOOP. …
