Support
bFaaaP is a volunteer-based open-source project. Shishido & Associates supported it until September 2026. How people take part is up to them — everything below is simply what is open and available.
GitHub
The repository, the issues, and every published source. It is also where a pianist who cannot use the pedals can find out that bFaaaP exists.
Discussions
Where build and usage questions are asked and answered. Anyone can answer one they know. Volunteers write the replies, so they can take weeks — and sometimes none comes.
Build it, or fork it
The build guides, schematics, firmware, CAD and bills of materials are all public. Pull requests that improve the docs are welcome. Carrying bFaaaP forward is already allowed by the licences.
🤖 AI-assisted Support
It ended in 2026. We keep the record.
From 2018 to 2026, the AI teammates Ponte and Harmonia drafted answers from this project’s own published sources, and the bFaaaP team reviewed each one before posting it. That machinery ran on a private subscription, and it has stopped. Only human volunteers answer in Discussions now — replies can take weeks, and sometimes none comes.
Answers are general information from other volunteers to help you reproduce and adapt the design, at your own risk. Nobody is verifying safety. Please check your local rules (BLE radio law, medical/assistive-device regulations) and electrical safety (24 V) yourself.
