yep, you’d be blowing past the cases psu limit anyway. Ah well, wall warts work fine

Mouser will refund me the molex display AND I can keep it.
So I’m wondering if there’s a workaround to make it compatible with the shield before purchasing a new one.
Any clue?

I’ve submitted you a PR that also fixes it for inputs :wink:

Basically you could cobble together an adapter.

So here’s a thing from adafruit - Adafruit FPC Stick - 20 Pin 0.5mm/1.0mm Pitch Adapter: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1325

Then get the appropriate 20-pin cable and a 20-pin molex FPC connector (maybe this one)

NOTE - THIS IS COMPLETELY UNTESTED - should work, but havent tried it yet.

I will change the knobs of my shield. It seems that I will need to put some force to pull out the ones installed. Maybe there is a secret trick to safely achieve this…

stereo swap fix, xtra verbose instructions for mac users:

on norns:
SYSTEM > UPDATE, then power back on

in mac terminal:
ssh we@norns.local
if questioned: yes
sleep
touch ~/reverse.txt

power cycle norns - it’s fixed !

For the price is worth trying :slight_smile:

Just want to say I’ve been around for a week here. I read a lot though many different threads, mostly the DIY ones, and it’s crazy how much people get involved and help others one time after another.

You guys got me a DIY Norns and a 16n in no time. Really grateful!

can the norns shield work also as a regular audio shield for Raspberry Pi?
I was wondering if I can use it along with a Locusonus Streambox for real-time soundscape streaming.

#375

after a month of successful usage, last night when i plugged in my norns shield it would not boot up, aka no actions from the OLED. It had worked perfectly earlier in the day, when i was loading a few patches on. It has the correct power supply. red power button comes on so juice is flowing. any ideas?

#376

First and easiest idea would be broken sd card. Maybe you have another one lying around.

I do. I’m new to Raspi. is this something that occurs often?

#378

Never had a broken sd card without being physically damaged (which happened a few times with raspberrys used in an exhibition context where things got moved a bit rough or careless and the raspbs weren’t in a case . The problem is that the sd card stands out from the pcb and can crease/kink on this spot. Sometimes it‘s hard to see that it has a salient point…)
But I read that sd cards can fail after some time.

#379

I have no idea what’s going on but it works!
Waiting for the rest of the parts.

Edit: I pushed some switches and it stopped. Power cycle doesn’t make it sound again :frowning:

Presumably you’re interested in native English idiom, and I happen to be an English Major (and native speaker) by training, so…

That’s actually a wonderfully poetic metaphor - the term you were looking for is just ‘solder’

Completely serviceable and understandable. I guess I usually see people say ‘fine tip’

disclaimer; As is usually the case with non-English languages, your English is vastly superior to my Italian :wink: . Better than that, I’d say you’re fluent.

Are there Gerber files for this when I try and convert from eagle I get a bunch of errors.

#384

Ahah, thanks for the hints: learning is a never ending process, no matter the field, and I’m always willing to improve myself :slight_smile:

I actually have been speaking English every day since childhood but sometimes when it comes to technical terms in fields I’m not used to move into (this is the first time I’m actually writing a post about soldering for instance) I might mix something up.

(Like this for instance, ‘solder’ in Italian is the actual torch)

All of this (excessively long) post comes down to me expressing my gratitude toward this amazing community full of people willing to help and share.
