ChimeraMultiFX

ChimeraMultiFX is a dual-MCU effects pedal platform. The Daisy Seed handles audio DSP while the ESP32 manages controls, Wi-Fi, and the browser-based UI.

Repository layout

• firmware/daisy — Daisy Seed firmware built with libDaisy and DaisySP
• firmware/esp32 — ESP32 control firmware and LittleFS web UI host
• frontend — Preact/Vite touch interface source
• hardware/boards — KiCad PCB and schematic files
• docs — repository notes and debugging write-ups

Quick start

1. Review firmware/daisy/README.md for DSP build and flash steps.
2. Review firmware/esp32/README.md for ESP32 build, upload, and Wi-Fi setup.
3. Review frontend/README.md for local UI development.
4. Open hardware/boards/daisyBoard.kicad_pro when working on hardware.

Uploading code

• Daisy Seed: build with the Daisy make targets, then enter DFU bootloader mode and run the flashing command from firmware/daisy/README.md.
• ESP32: build and upload from PlatformIO with the commands in firmware/esp32/README.md.
• Frontend UI: build the web assets and upload them to the ESP32 filesystem using the steps in frontend/README.md.

Notes

• The ESP32 serves the built frontend from its LittleFS data partition.
• The Daisy and ESP32 communicate over UART; the ESP32 exposes a small HTTP/WebSocket bridge for the UI.
