How roadsidebomb/polybar-system works
The Polybar System is a modular, 3D-printable guitar controller project for music games. Its repository is a hardware design archive rather than a software runtime: it provides order-ready PCB Gerbers for fret and strum board variants, build guides for PCB and handwired builds, and a STEP-file archive. The principal workflow is to choose board designs, fabricate and assemble a controller using the relevant guide, then use the finished controller with a music game. The tree and README support these capabilities; no source excerpts were provided to establish further implementation details.
