Eyesy for Fates

The operating system for the EYESY video synthesizer device - for Fates.

Hi everyone, I recently adapted the Critter&Guitari video synth Eyesy code in order to run it on my Fates as a Sidekick app.

I thought I could share this here if anyone is interested :slight_smile:

You can also check out the amazing Mode library at: ETC | Platforms | Patchstorage

Requirements

Fates + a hdmi capable screen, Touch OSC iOS/Android app (optional), midi controller (optional)

This could theoretically also run on a norns shield but you will have to use a midi controller as the encoders won’t work - EDIT: As the hdmi out is deactivated on the norns shield image, this does not seem possible as is

Documentation

Please see the README from the Github page.

Last Update (19/12/20):

Thanks again to everyone who helped, here are the features:

  • Run Norns with Eyesy in parallel, Norns sound into Eyesy
  • Control via a Touchosc Template
  • Readme update
  • Many bugfixes

Please be sure to have the latest Fates firmware version installed (update otherwise or you won’t be able to run Eyesy and Norns in parallel)

If you had already installed it via the github instructions, you can update by running (do not forget to backup your presets first!):
cd ~/sidekick/patches/Eyesy; git pull; git reset --hard origin/master; ./deploy.sh

Debug:

If you have no video signal, look into systemctl status eyesy-python.service
and if you have no controls or if the app doesn’t start you can use journalctl | grep sidekick

Thanks a lot to @okyeron and @xenus_dad for helping out!
I also want to thank Critter&Guitari, TheTechnobear and monome to make these things possible!

Ps:This was moved from the Fates thread so the first posts are a bit in disorder

I got it running once correctly, with control and the ability to change scenes, but for the most part I’m experiencing what @Zifor is showing: loading the initial scene, green bg with red tracing, frozen.

If I try to invoke Sidekick (hold down the three buttons), its controls do not appear on the Norns screen:

Invoking sidekick

Nov 10 10:27:30 norns sidekick[105]: Terminated

If I invoke Sidekick a second time, I get the interface again.

If I later try to start Eyesy, an interesting thing happens…initially nothing. But, if I then try to go back to Sidekick, on my monitor it looks like Eyesy is starting; however, it stops eventually. Meanwhile, I see activity in the log indicating it is launching Eyesy (all the nohup activity) but also, patches/Eyesy/stop.sh does get run, which shuts down the Pygame engine. I’m including this mostly in case it helps with troubleshooting.

Trying to launch Eyesy then going back to Sidekick: https://gist.github.com/timcosgrove/90fb867b9d11fe1a7a64363752d10a4a

Hi everyone, I recently adapted the Critter&Guitari video synth Eyesy code in order to run it on my Fates as a Sidekick app.

I thought I could share this here if anyone is interested :slight_smile:

anyone got this working yet , me and @eigen (mostly eigen) have been trying to get this up and running.

Yup, except:

git clone https://github.com/Lcchy/Eyesy_for_fates Eyesy
cd Eyesy

instead of

git clone https://github.com/Lcchy/Eyesy_for_fates

Hi there- I was unable to get this to run. I re-did my Fates image from scratch, went through the normal Fates & Sidekick install instructions, and then installed per the Eyesy for Fates repo. My Fates is up-to-date with Norns 201029, and Sidekick has been checked for updates as well.

I’ve confirmed my HDMI out is functioning; when the Pi boots, I get a square of color gradation, and if I launch Norns with the HDMI cable attached, it uses my monitor for the Norns screen (very tiny and mangled, it’s cute and hilarious :slight_smile:) I’m on a Pi 4.

Sidekick logs show this when trying to launch Eyesy:

Sidekick continues trying to connect to the port about once a second thereafter.

So I think something is missing - psutil

Nov 10 01:34:15 fates systemd[1]: Started Python Pygame Video Engine.

But… I tried to manually install psutil and it did not change anything.

But then… I sudo installed psutil and it worked. Had to install pip first tho…

so it seems this is needed (FYI @lcchy):

sudo apt install python-pip
sudo pip install psutil

Thanks a lot @okyeron, I must have installed at some point and did not remember :upside_down_face:
I added it to the installation instructions.

@xenus_dad sorry for the hassle! It probably is because of what okyeron just mentioned.
The connection error messages you are getting are from the pd patch that is trying to connect to the engine that is not responding.

FYI The python video engine runs as a systemd service, that means that if you want to see what errors it might be outputting, you can use the command journalctl -e while logged in via a second ssh session or, after having stopped the Sidekick app.

Edit: I just changed some small things in the way the knobs and the midi controls behave (made it relative). If you want to update your version you can do:
cd ~/sidekick/patches/Eyesy; git pull

Check the install path
