FWIW - I switched to using \r\n for my scripts but it did not help, I still need to reset crow every other upload – ^^r usually works, though every once in a while it seems that only a power cycle will do.

Hi all,

I’m trying to get crow to talk to W/, no luck.

My idea was to try to clock W/ with Ableton to make a tempo-synced delay — any idea how I can accomplish that?

Thanks!

Dang this was exactly one of the things I was going to build in my livestream today! Postponed until Monday -

But until then here’s a high level overview of the M4L logic.

you’ll need to grab the ableton tempo and turn it into bangs at your chosen clock division - see the ^^outs device for an example.

Then you will want to send ii.wslash.cue( 0 ) to crow on every bang (prepended with tell_crow) - this will reset crow to the nearest cue point. Equivalent to WS.CUE 0 on TT

Thanks!

What is tell_crow? I don’t think I’ve seen any documentation on this.

it’s all wrapped up in the [crow] object’s help patcher inside the crow-max folder from the github repo and also mentioned in the Max scripting section of the crow FAQ :slight_smile:

suuuuper duper specific to working in Max and m4l, no reason for you to have seen it anywhere else. feel free to ping the ^^ crow help: max and max for live thread for additional help!

Okay I figured it out I think… For whatever reason crow -> JF -> W/ wasn’t working. Connecting W/ directly to crow seems to establish the connection.

Trying to upgrade firmware to 1.0.1. I put my crow into crow dfu bootloader, double clock on window-firmware_update.dat and get a cannot open device. Ask dfu to list devices and it say cannot open device. Thanks for help.

Is it possible to update Crow from a Raspberry Pi / Norns connected to Crow ?

Sorry if it’s been asked before, I haven’t read the whole thread… :confused:

I don’t have access to a computer running at least OS X 10.10 at the moment (I only have an old MacBook and 10.7 is the max) therefore I can’t install the latest Python, Druid etc.

NB: I can install DFU utils on RPI but I don’t know how and if I can run Druid on RPI in order to put Crow in Bootloader mode. Do you know if it’s possible ?

Did you get an error running pip3 install monome-druid and then druid? I would expect this to work, if the Linux update instructions fail on RPi specifically it would be good to know. Edit: on my RPi pip puts the binary in ~/.local/bin, which was not on my PATH by default, you may need to add this for the druid command to be found.

I would also expect this to work, homebrew might not officially support 10.7 anymore but it should be possible to get Python >= 3.5 installed.

Thanks for your reply. No I didn’t get an error because I didn’t know it was possible to install Druid on RPi, I might have missed that in the docs, is Python pre-installed on Stretch or do I I need to install it before installing Druid ? I will try again tomorrow. And about the Mac, I’ve tried to install Homebrew on this old machine but without success, I’ll try with an older version :slight_smile:

Edit
You’re right, on Raspbian I need to run Druid with ~/.local/bin/druid

This is the install process I used, in case it’s useful for anyone:

Python 2.7 and 3.5 come both pre-installed on Raspbian Stretch, however by default it will use 2.7, so:

sudo nano ~/.bashrc and add the following line at the end of the file.

alias python='/usr/bin/python3'

save and reboot

Now python --version returns Python 3.5.3

sudo apt-get install python3-prompt-toolkit

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
pip3 install --upgrade setuptools
pip3 install monome-druid

Run Druid ~/.local/bin/druid

^^ crow 1.0.1

Aliasing one program to another is probably not the best thing to do. Any python2 specific script or application will probably fail after aliasing python to python3. Better to just leave it as is and use pip3 to invoke Python3’s pip specifically.

If you are going to run druid from you user’s local bin directory (which I don’t understand how that would work with the pip install command you posted, unless pip is somehow patched by debian to always install to your user’s home instead of systemwide) it’s easier to just use pip3 install --user monome-druid.
You’d still need pip for python3 installed of course if that’s not the case by default.
The setuptools upgrade should no longer be necessary.

Ah ok, if it’s better I will do that, thanks.

I don’t know either but it worked… it wasn’t working with only druid so I haven’t looked any further :slight_smile:

#220

Kind of offtopic, but I wanted to know :stuck_out_tongue:
Debian is using a patch which makes pip default to using --user https://sources.debian.org/src/python-pip/18.1-5/debian/patches/set_user_default.patch/

P.S. If you add ~/.local/bin to PATH you can just run druid using druid instead of using the full path every time. See for some docs about this for example https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Environment_variables#Per_user

Thanks for the info :+1: I’m not really familiar with Debian so I generally copy and paste commands found here and there but I’ll use this when I do the next Crow upgrade :wink:

This makes me think. Has anyone had the idea of building some sort of norns script that sequences chords to just friends? Could be fun.

Could be a cool project. Thinking about it could even be a bit generalized, because with Ansible you get 4 extra cv/gate outs, and i2c support with the er301 could also mean chords there.
