im pretty new to fates and scared to update from the menu. I have 220802. can I update from the menu and retain my files?
I’m still having issues with jittery encoders, was there ever a fix posted? unsure if it’s a hard or software problem

About your jumpy encoder, I’m not sure if you tried adding some 15nF capacitors to the solder points? This worked great on my Fates and hasn’t skipped a beat for years now (not my pic, but this was somewhere in this thread to illustrate the process)

I bought some Fates PCBs way back when, but the DAC chip isn’t available at any of the usual suppliers now. I’ve found some on AliExpress but has any one got a reliable source they could share? Thanks!
Wow. I ordered two from either Mouser or Digikey a few months back, can’t remember which atm, but now they’re both saying “obsolete” or “end of life.” Looks like it’s still available but in a hard to solder package (QFN? Is that the type?) instead of the relatively easy to solder TSSOP package.
If that’s true and this chip has lived its life that’s unfortunate because this was a key component to a few Mutable Instruments builds.

Well, there’s loads available out there, just not from mouser or digikey. The link to Cirrus at the top shows them for sale till Sep 2022 but shipping till Dec 2023, whatever that means. Winsource and Peawo have them and AliExpress obviously. Ive only bought components from the UK (where I am) or one of the big retailers so am (unnecessarily?) wary on anyone else. Help is welcome and appreciated!

Wanted to ask if anyone has had a problem with low disk space after the most recent update? Before the update I had way too many scripts installed and over 150 clips on the tape so I decided to backup, update and reinstall my most used patches. However since I’ve done that and made sure i’ve cleared everything off there I’ve noticed I have much much less disk space, I have 3 clips in the tape (no more than 40 secs each) and roughly 10 scripts on there and I somehow have 250mb of space left. Anyone else had this issue and is there something I’m missing? This has only happened since i last updated.
Did you expand the file system when you reinstalled?

df -h over ssh to see what your disk usage is

Recently bought a fates and getting into it.I want to exchange files between my pc and my fates so i enabled smb in my programs but I cant seem to connect my fates to samba. it pops up under my network folders as ‘FATES’ but when i click it it says “windows cannot access
\FATES Error code 0x80070035 the network path was not found” I’m totally new to this so any help is appreciated

Googling Error code 0x80070035 the network path was not found gives a number of possible solutions. Like this. (Probably need to try connecting with the IP address?)
samba works OK from my Mac. I don’t have a windows machine so can’t offer any other suggestions.
Short answer - use SFTP instead maybe?
Working fine in my win10 machines here. I think the error could be related to a windows setting, you must enable the shared files and printers in advanced network settings
@okyeron was hoping you could direct me to the latest Fates firmware/ where Fates firmware is posted. Just got mine and installed norns firmware thinking it would work. sorry if it’s in this thread and I overlooked it. New to lines and excited to learn the Fates ropes
Welcome to lines.
That page contains what you’re looking for.
For most projects the 1st post in a topic contains links to GitHub where you can find updates, that’s where I got this link.

Has anyone got the micromiditrs working with RPi4?
This configuration works great with the 3b+ but something is missing with the 4b.
I can see ttymidi with aconnect -l and it says its connected to virtual rawmidi, but im not receiving anything.
I already added the rule
ttymidi <-> 130(virtual RAWMidi id)
Also, this wont start the service
sudo systemctl enable ttymidi.service
sudo systemctl start ttymidi.service
I had to do:
sudo ttymidi -s /dev/ttyS0 &
Maybe /boot/config.txt should be different.

try uncommenting the line for the miniuart
dtoverlay=miniuart-bt
and then i think that should get you the MMTRS on /dev/ttyAMA0 (which is UART0)
I think the ttymidi.service is not starting because its looking for /dev/ttyAMA0

No dice. Also tried commenting dtoverlay=disable-bt, and running sudo ttymidi -s /dev/ttyAMA0 & manually.
whatever service I start with verbose like ttymidi -s /dev/ttyAMA0 -v logs outgoing midi messages, so I suppose they are getting routed from virtual but they dont end up on the physical serial port.

You might try this step as well. Not sure how that changes cmdline.txt tho
Hey! I’m having a bit of trouble getting audio out of my Fates norns. I feel like theres probably a really obvious fix to this. I have the most recent firmware and the scripts are running fine. just no sound coming out. I havent run into this issue on lines or monome.org.
I turned up the incoming and outgoing gain on norns, but no change. any ideas on a solution would be greatly appreciated.
