Powers a real starship-bridge simulator; provides a complete, reusable reference with hardware designs, firmware, and host library; integrates state, audio, haptics, and displays in one coherent system.
A framework for building physical interactive consoles: installations where an operator works a panel of real switches, knobs, indicators, and screens. It handles input, state, audio, and displays:
Enigma is the framework the Halcyon Dawn physical starship-bridge simulator is built on. It is published here as a complete, reusable reference: the host library, the board firmware, and the PCB designs.
While building it explicitly for use in my simulator frame, I also kept in mind somewhat broader needs, such as designing electronic escape room puzzles, arcade games, and so on. The expanded list of future boards includes functionality useful for those ventures, even if the Halcyon Dawn project didn't use them.
Status: published as-is, for reference and reuse. Not actively maintained. Issues and pull requests are unlikely to be reviewed, and Issues are disabled. New boards may be added occasionally, but there is no support commitment. Fork freely; that is what the license is for.
Platform: built and tested only on macOS Tahoe (Apple Silicon). No testing has been done on other platforms, and none is planned. It may or may not work elsewhere; that is left to you.
