Control any Captivate instance on your local network with Bitfocus Companion v3+ using this module.
Companion v3+ includes our module by default in their latest shipping versions, but it also allows you to download modules and install them manually in a "development" folder. If you want to download the latest version of this controller, you may use the following method to install it.
If you are downloading one of our binary releases, here's how to install it:
- Create a folder anywhere on your computer and name it
Companion Modules(or anything you want). - Download the zip file for the latest release.
- Extract the zip file. You should have a folder named
companion-module-newblue-captivatewhen you are done. - Open the folder and make sure it contains the
package.jsonfile. On some systems, the folder will contain an inner folder namedcompanion-module-newblue-captivateand that folder will have thepackage.jsonfile. The folder withpackage.jsonis the real one to use. - Put the correct
companion-module-newblue-captivatefolder into theCompanion Modulesfolder you made earlier.
- The file structure should therefore be:
Companion Modulescompanion-module-newblue-captivatepackage.json
- Launch Companion and open the GUI.
- Once you have the companion launcher open, click the cog in the top right. This will reveal a 'Developer modules path' field. Use this to select the
Companion Modulesfolder you created earlier. (Similar to their instructions here: Companion Module Wiki) - Companion will auto-detect module folders in that directory and will reload itself if any of those files change.
If you want to help develop this module, feel free to fork it to your own repository, and clone it to a folder on your local system. Follow the same instructions as for installing it above by putting your repo folder inside a Companion Modules parent folder. See Companion Module Wiki for more details.
