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

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

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

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

@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?

Does anyone know of any custom case manufacturers? I’m looking for something like a soft laptop case to hold the norns and cables plus power supply.

There are a number of different Pelican cases that would do the trick. Back in the Day, the isms systems were shipped in custom-fitted (but still off-the-shelf) Pelican cases. I plan to get one to hold Norns, a Grid, a small number of Effects Boxes, A Minimal Mixer, and Various and Sundry Power Supplies. And some Atomic Fireballs because it’s always good to have some of those. And some wet wipes. And probably a pen and a Rhodia pad. Oh and a paddle toy.

Various and Sundry Power Supplies … truly the dark underbelly of making electronic music.

If you’ve seen the Steve Martin movie “The Jerk” the reference will make sense.

i was thinking it might be cool to make a count to five pedal emulation for norns that could be cv controlled. could be fun as a project to learn lua. the concept is simple enough. three buffers with variable speed. another idea i had was a setup in which you could dj with norns. you could have a grid be a dj mixer and keep all the songs on a usb stick or something. anyway just thinking out loud here. also, the cans!! they hate the cans!!
