The BopPad hardware consists of the playing surface, the USB port and the USB Guard.

The playing surface consists of four distinct quadrants. Striking the quadrants with your preferred object
(hands, sticks, mallets, spoons, whatever!) will send out MIDI data corresponding to the preset currently in
use, as defined in the Editor.

The micro USB port is the only port on the device. It will allow you to connect to your favorite devices, from
computers, to MIDI capable tablets, to any hardware that has a 5 pin MIDI connection (using the optional
MIDI Expander).

The red USB guard is there to protect the micro USB cable and the micro USB port. These connections
are small and do not respond well to direct impact or other stresses. We recommend not transporting the
device with the USB cable plugged in.

led
The LED is used to show different states of the BopPad.
While connected via USB, the LED is green when powered on, and orange when the BopPad is being
interacted with.
When connected to a MIDI Expander, the LED is red when powered on and orange when the BopPad is
being interacted with.
A breathing green/red combination indicates the device is in bootloader mode, ready to receive a firmware
update.
The playing surface responds best if the BopPad is placed on a flat surface,
or is being used in the BopPad basket.
