- Download and install the drum machine or sequencer for your OS
- Make sure you have a camera plugged to your computer (webcam, or DV camera should also do)
- If it is the first time you use the system start the "Configurator" software application (this is installed with the drum machine and the sequencer)
- In the configurator enter username and password (you need to create an account on the registration page) and click on the activate button
- Soon you should see the message "Activated" appear under the password field
- If necessary or appropriate, you can also use the configurator to set various parameters related to the audio card and the webcam
- Click on OK to close the configurator application
- Start the d-touch drum macine application; on OS X a configuration dialogue for the camera will pop up, please select the appropriate options or leave the defaults, and click on OK
- Adjust the camera and board positions to make sure that all the markers in the corners are in view
- Fix the board to the table using some tape, if possible
- Adjust the camera focus and the light in the room so that the four calibration markers at the corners of the board are recognized and highlighted. It is best if they are stable, but it can be ok if they blink a little
- Place some blocks on the board and check that they are recognized and highlighted. It is best if they are stable, but it can be ok if they blink a little
- Enjoy using your new tangible interface application!
