Field notes

FretSpark describes a shared app layer that can drive either a removable LED strip or an embedded instrument module. The listed software spans fretboard guidance, 1,172 chords, AlphaTab guitar files, practice analytics, remote classrooms, and an offline teaching mode using Nordic private protocol PPP. Its four cooperation levels move from using the FretSpark app to independent app or SDK integration, positioning the system as both a consumer accessory and an OEM platform.
