Tangara

Tangara is a portable music player. It outputs high-quality sound through a 3.5-mm headphone jack, lasts a full day on a charge, and includes a processor that’s powerful enough to support any audio format you can throw at it. It’s also 100% open hardware running open-source software, which makes it easy to customize, repair, and upgrade. Tangara plays what you want to hear, however you want to hear it.

We ran a crowdfund to produce an initial run of devices, and we're getting those out to backers right now. If you're interested in getting your own, please check us out on Crowd Supply!

Source Repositories

tangara-fw: The ESP32 firmware, comprising the bulk of Tangara's functionality. This is probably the repo that you're most interested in!

tangara-hw: Sources for the entire physical device; includes both the case/enclosure, and the PCBs.

tangara-samd-fw: Firmware for the SAMD21 co-processor that manages USB connectivity, charging, and power management of the ESP32.

tangara-themes: A (WIP, under construction, etc) repository of themes you can use with Tangara's standard firmware (and compatible forks). Uhhhh check back on this one in a bit.

Contributing

The firmware repositories for Tangara are mirrored to both here at Codeberg and over at sourcehut. Contributions on either platform are welcome; feel free to use whichever contribution workflow you prefer. If you are a git-send-email nerd, then the list to use is ~jacqueline/tangara-devel@lists.sr.ht.

For issue tracking, refer to the 'issues' tab of the relevant repo on Codeberg, please!

Thanks, PCBWay!

PCBWay reached out to us to offer a sponsorship discount for our first production batch of Tangara PCBs in exchange for a few words about their excellent service.

Thanks, Aisler!

Aisler very generously sponsored our final round of pre-production prototype boards. We've gotten all of our prototype revisons from Aisler, and we couldn't be happier with their quality. Check them out!
