Wish I could help. I fought for a day to get the grid to work with Max 4 live. Failed, and gave up.

Ahaaa, this is what’s giving me issues. Without it it works (but no Neotrellis grid recognition), but with it apps don’t load.
Is there anything i can do to make the fates recognize the grid more reliable ? Sometimes i have to reconnect it 5 to 10 times to get it working.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Try another USB cable?

Figures. I used to have the original 40h, before the eurorack modules existed and norns, and I hated the setup with windows and sold it. When it worked it was so much fun though, so hopefully I can get a more stable and userfriendly experience with the norns shield.
Check this thread and read from there to the bottom and there’s some various things to try SerialOSC installation Windows 10 64bit

node-serialoscd (link posted by me above on 2020-01-29 LOL) works beautifully here with Win 10.
I’ve had no success with any “real” serialosc - no amount of hacking around in the grid’s firmware (e.g. to present serialosc with the strings it expects to see) has made any difference - serialosc doesn’t fail, or offer any output, it simply doesn’t do anything.
[1] Argh searching frantically but can’t find a link. I’ll update once I do.

i tried three different cables… same problem. I will open up the case and check if there are any bad solderjoints or if the usb breakout is somehow broken
It could also be power related.
If you’re running the paletted color stuff or something else, the grid could be stealing too much power from the pi and causing issues with device recognition.
Check dmesg for undervoltage warnings?
I’m not using the corored options. demsg shows the two connected Devices. The first one beeing the iconnectMidi4+ and the other is listed as monome with Serial m4676055. No undervoltage warnings.

But i still cannot select it in the norns menu.

dmesg shows the device beeing unplugged and then reconnected
OK yeah - I’ve run into this from time to time, but it usually clears up on its own after plugging/unplugging a couple time.
You could try - unplug the grid. Then set all the grid slots in DEVICES>GRID to none then maybe a RESET and then try plugging the grid in.
FWIW - the libmonome: error in write: Resource temporarily unavailable is pretty normal (as the grid sending serial data, but doesn’t know what to do with it since norns hasn’t recognized it yet).
Same behaviour even after the reset. I had to do 6 reconnects to get it working after the reset. Then i put it to sleep and after a reboot i have the same problems and stopped plugging it in after ten tries without a connection. I think i’m reflashing the card…
One more thought. If not already - disconnect any other devices (the iconnectMidi4) to try and eliminate any possible interference
already tried that without success. I will do the reflash soon. That download is really slow…
Edit: Same problem after reflashing the image.
It’s alive (wrong adapter so slightly underpowered, but hey it works)!
Many thanks to @okyeron for troubleshooting.

I’ve built mine but can’t use it due to lack of a proper enclosure. Has anyone tried with Ponoko or similar services? I’m using @okyeron template and if I understand correctly I’ll have to use 3mm acrylic for layer 1,2,4,5 and 5mm eva foam for layer 3. Is that correct?
You can use 3mm for that spacer layer (layer 3), it’s just I like the height better with the extra 2mm of material. Also you’d need shorter standoffs.
Another thing I’d not tried is one layer of 1/8in + 1/16in to get close to 5mm
Also I should update that design file as I think there’s a slightly newer one

Reflashing the teesy solved my connection problems. Thanks for your troubleshooting ideas @okyeron !

I just finished my enclosure using just 3mm acrylic, didn’t use the EVA foam in the end. Works OK like that as well.
There is indeed a newer layout I think, maybe look at the “last updated” date on the files?

Which service did you use? I’ve just checked Ponoko and the cheaper option is $145.59 (with shipping to Italy)
