I had a short look on the ringworm. It seems to be more complicated than I could handle plus I cannot believe that it is economic. EFN does not list them but I already sent Ulf a mail. (…partly deleted again for being unnecessary emotional…)

I know that there will be some kind of “solution” that will make this thing working - I am just disappointed. This is a module that is marketed as fitting in an existing framework and I expected it to physically fit there without digging into private PCB production (yes, I know - no acid tubs). At the very least it would have been nice when this necessary accessory would have been clearly mentioned when buying it from the shop.

I would not have thought something like that, remembering the slight smile that cam over my face when I opened the teletype box and found that it came with three header to mount on the trilogy modules for i2c connection. That thoughtfulness made a large impression on me.

from here II-bus board

If you could find this part overseas, seems you could plug the coupler into the empty spot on your daisy chain from teletype and use the cable included w/ ansible as an extender to reach the i2c port on its back.

I believe also discussed in that post about the bus board is the option of creating your own daisy chains of custom lengths and configurations which would likely be easier than creating the PCB board or getting it shipped overseas.

Thank you! That coupler looks like an economic way to use the supplemented cable that came with Ansible.

Honestly making your own ii cable is really easy and it has the benefit of reducing the number of connectors which could jiggle loose inside your case. The ii bus board thread mentions these connectors:

…I simply bought six of those and some ribbon cable:

Assembly of a cable which fits my current module arrangement (and reaches up to my JF module) took < 10 minutes and nothing more that a pair of wire cutters and a hammer (just pay attention to the connector orientation).

Yes, this or the coupler. I would not have an unnecessary spare cable left then…:slight_smile:

@tehn, is it still possible to change the arc’s friction setting in a similar way as described here? Is there any major change to the tools or process?

if it’s that old version of the arc you can do it. if you have a newest arc it’s not adjustable. if your new arc is jammed up, e-mail info@monome.org
