Approaching: norns

Oh sorry! Privacy Badger was blocking Shopify’s cookies so the website wasn’t showing that bit.
It’s actually pretty obvious now that it displays it correctly!

How about multiple grids running different apps/scripts? I think it was mentioned before it’s currently not supported. How complex would it be to run say a step sequencer on a 16x8 and faders on a 8x8? Or would it be easier to extend an existing script with paging?

[misuba]

I think there was news upthread about only running one script at a time… but if we take the lead of other upthread news about the grid-interfacing libraries being essentially the same as the ones we’re used to, a single script ought to be able to target instructions to multiple grids.

Sorry where is the manual for MLR?

Norns in NYC may 8

also that mlr one-sheet is preliminary and not very thorough. still updating/changing the script… mlr.pdf (283.3 KB) also here’s the menu: norns-selector.pdf (282.7 KB)

interconnect.

4 x USB ports for devices.
serial tty via USB-mini.

power.

power/charge via USB-mini (high output USB power supply included).
internal lipo battery 2250mAh.

I have not found anything about it here but learning that the grid could damage teletype with excessive power draw made me wonder how much current the USB connectors of norns can provide to connected devices which are powered via this USB connection.

I am thinking of a use case where I would connect a faderbank to norns while simultaneously outputting CV to 16 arbitrary eurorack modules.

gijs is that you??

i’m kidding of course but half my time using gieskes modules is referring back to the manual to remind me which arrows mean what

One word: tooltips

[tehn]

norns has USB overcurrent protection.

[scanner_darkly]

“chicken coop flashlight mode certified”

[Leverkusen]

Sounds great! Would it be meaningful to specify how much current is overcurrent?

[bobbcorr]

I’ve reconsidered the wisdom of making a Spaceballs reference and beg your forgiveness.

[tehn]

TPS2021D is the current controller, 900mA max for all four ports together.

[karst]

@tehn or someone else who knows: does that leave adequate headroom to power a moderately lit-up grid & arc with some room for any other low-power plug-in?

[tehn]

should be fine, yes. you will not get good battery life however.
