# paginator

reMarkable 2 is a great tablet for sheet music, except there's no way to turn the page when you play a two-handed instrument.

I started out trying to make a version of the [remarkable footpedal](https://github.com/reini1305/remarkable_footpedal), but I couldn't get a solid pogo pin connection.

I then decided to go for the [pageturner](https://github.com/FunkyFab/pageturner) version, but I wanted a sleeker design with less trip hazards involved. :)

My final device is a mashup of both. It is a self-contained, battery-powered pedal that connects to the USB-C port on the reMarkable 2. Using [this](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7GCQVC6) low-profile USB cable, the tablet still sits nicely on its own bottom, even on a music stand.

## features

#### navigation on the reMarkable

- Longer press (> 2.5 seconds) = flip back 4 pages, then close current doc (used to changed to the next song)

#### status LEDs

- orange LED at front displays when power on / off. Also flashes 1, 2, or 3 times to confirm press version.

- red LED on side illuminates when charging battery

- green LED on side illuminates when battery full

#### power

- 3.7v LIPO battery

- charges via the USB-C port on the pedal
