maybe it’s because of the great sequencers available but I wasn’t really thinking about cv --> norns potential (vs norns --> cv) until seeing those simple scripts.

Is this a hardware limitation? At least some of the STM32F72xx family support USB-OTG and can (in principle!) act as host or device depending on what they’re connected to. I realize host stuff may not be roadmapped at all for crow development but man have I got sooome use cases cawing to me from across the veil each night as I drift off to sleep.

First I should say I’ve had zero involvement in crow development thus far.

Part is stm32f722. It does support OTG, but the crow circuit Doesn’t supply power. If you supply power I suppose you could theoretically support host mode. This would be a complete firmware rewrite

Crow was first introduced here: Approaching: norns

The github link has the most info though.

Do we have an idea of crows arrival?

When it is ready.

Sorry, that was a softball, I had to swing at it.

Cross posting speculative question here and in TX thread – since Crow will be an i2c leader, could TXi/o in principle be used as CV expanders?

no reason i can see why crow can’t emit all the same i2c commands that TT can

[edit: actually i have not yet grokked how C and lua i2c layers interact.]

There is a Lua file for TXi, I imagine one just plops in the rest of the commands TELEX* accepts as getters or setters as appropriate.
