Spark 2 support

[f00stx]

I've got a Spark 2, and Soundshed can "see" it, but that's about it. The app doesn't do anything other than recognise that it's there, and then allows a click of the "connect" button.

Is Spark 2 support on the roadmap? If not, is it possible to get some guidance on where to start with implementing it? I know my way around Typescript well enough to have a crack at it.

Hi, I don't have a Spark 2 currently so by all means do have a go at implementation. The main code to talk to the spark is under the Spork folder.

I don't know if anyone has done recent work to decode the conversation with the Spark 2 vs the original so that's where the research should start, well that and trying to build your own local copy of the app.

One advantage you do have now is that AI coding agents are very code at deciphering stuff, given a little context, so you may not have to do as much zen/higher-state coding to get Spark 2 to work as was required the first time round..

Hi @f00stx, for me Spark 2 connects with no effort at all on my Mac. I even managed to control extra channels on it, see demo PR.

I don't have much time for this, but I'd be happy to get the ability to controlling the looper.
