Yeah, I can understand if it’s not a priority. On the plus side a plug and play feature like this might be a good thing to help grow the user community. But I can see there are pros and cons for supporting a range of devices.

#344

please give some respect to the fact that all of this is open source.

option 1: google “bash scripting” so that updating your install will be semi-automated.

option 2: make a $3 circuit board that uses an FTDI chip and have the teensy talk to it via UART and follows our also-open-source serial protocol: and the neotrellis will be drop-in compatible.

Fair enough. But as it is open source, it also seems reasonable and respectful to contribute queries about what kind of pull requests are accepted.

I’m having way too much time for this. Making enclosures for the Neotrellis Grid and Norns Shield.

If you buy mine I’ll slice it into sections for you :wink:

Thanks - but it’s more than I want to pay - I’m sure it’s worth it though and not knocking your hard work but it gets away from diy for me…

Need to try that out, as soon as my Fates arrives. Currently it’s becoming an Euclidean 8 track sequencer.

No problem! If you’re interested in 3d modeling it’s a good exercise to make your own design. I figured after giving away the fates case for free I might try and make some money on this one, although I don’t expect it’ll be very much.

Thanks !! That was what I was thinking - not done any 3d design but my girlfriend knows autocad really well and I know eagle so hopefully using fusion 360 will be ok as a joint effort :slight_smile:

Github here:

Untested, but free to use. There’s standoffs, and construction details inside. Even a cradle for the Teensy, but again I don’t really know if it will work. Once I get a 3d printer will test everything (soon… very sooon). This should be juuust printable on a Prusa, but not both sides at once.

Obviously open to constructive criticism as this is only my second Fusion 360 design (also have a Norns Shield case).

So I got my Mouser shipment today and have been tinkering to get this working. First of all thank you for the wonderful work on this project!

I was wondering whether or not I should wire up the USB breakout for the Teensy 3.2? The pictures for the case file in the Git repo do not show the breakout installed, which got me wondering. Is there a place for the breakout in the latest case revision?

#354

I need to update the photos on github - they’re out of date for
using the breakout. Will need to check case designs that are up there as well.

DM me if you have questions.

#355

PSA: I foolishly ordered after the cutoff date, and even though my order was not part of the essential orders I just received a shipping confirmation from Adafruit.

#356

What’s the latest on the power wiring? I saw some discussion up topic about directly powering the grid from the micro usb to reduce the risk of brown-out, but I can’t find the current best practice in github…

Also, as a doublecheck, there don’t seem to be holes on top for the d+ and d- connections right? Just the pads on the bottom?

#357

Yeah this is out of date on GitHub. I’ll try to do some updates tonight

That is correct - for teensy 3.2. Also the Teensy 4 won’t work because it’s D+- pads are for host mode only.

However, in the Teensy 3.6 and Teensy 4 the current limiting fuse was moved after the VUSB pin. So you should be able to power the Trellis directly from the VUSB on the Teensy 4 without brownout issues (if you use a suitable power source). This is what I do with the Teensy 3.6 and I haven’t had any problems with brownout.

#359

@jorgen83 I’ve updated github with more recent enclosure information.

Need to add another picture or two, but it’s more up to date

New problem. When connecting to Windows, I get the monome in my device manager under USB devices, but it doesn’t get recognised by serialosc. Max patches don’t work as a result.

Hopefully the Norns shield will work (when I finally get the missing screen header).

#362

I don’t have a windows box so can’t troubleshoot

Maybe @Gerald_Stevens could offer suggestions/tips?
