What norns version were you running previous to this? Which Pi are you on?

You could try running the samba install from the original update script and see if that helps (since it changes the python2.7 stuff) - and then try to ./waf norns again

you would need to grab the update tar file from github, then upload the .tgz file your device in the ~/update directory, then something like

(EDIT - added the wget for the update file to the commands below)

cd ~/update
wget https://github.com/monome/norns/releases/download/v2.2.5/norns191230.tgz
tar -xvf norns191230.tgz
cd 191230
  sudo dpkg -i packages/*.deb
  (echo "sleep"; echo "sleep") | sudo smbpasswd -s -a we
  sudo cp config/smb.conf /etc/samba/
  sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Thanks a lot. I was running the lalest (previous) norns version prior to the most recent. Pi4b 1gb.

Eventually it got through the script/compile but it needed quite a few power cycles !

I’ll try as you suggest anyway. Cheers.

FWIW - i’m getting errors on my pi3b+ trying to do that samba stuff. I’d ignore that if you 1) don’t need samba and/or 2) already have norns recompiled.

heads up @okyeron, the fates images in your repo are down.

#894

weird. The pi4 images work ok, but the 2 recent pi3 images are screwed up.

there’s one older image here. updated https://archive.org/download/fates-pi3b-20200106/fates-pi3b-20200106.img

For the moment, I’d suggest getting that, then manually updating to 191201. Then doing a git pull on norns.

Or I’ll try to upload a new pi3 image with 191230 over the weekend. see above.

I just built 2 fates. One works perfectly, the other has no sound coming out the right output. All other outputs and inputs work.
I’ve removed the DAC, cleaned it up and put it back on and the problem remains
Any idea where I should be looking?

#896

Which outputs? Headphones, main outputs, or both?

Check capacitor orientation and resistor/caps adjacent to that output jack?

#897

The right individual output of the pair of main outs doesn’t work. Both channels on the headphone output work fine though.
Caps are oriented correctly, resistors are correct and soldered fine, been reflowed a few times.

#898

Hmmm…

So HP working means the dac is working (voltage wise)

So here’s the signal path for output - not too much that could be wrong there really.

Did you triple check that the volume is turned up on the MIX page in norns?

And… did you do the audio test stuff on the troubleshooting page?

#900

Yep, volume is up.
When I ran the tests everything worked except the right output.
When the voice should be saying ‘front right’ nothing would sound.

Strange thing: I switched the rasp pi for another I had sitting around, and with that new pi inserted no sound at all comes out from any outputs, but when I switch pi to the original the sounds comes back, except for the main right output as before.

#901

Is the headphone output working? Are the electro caps in the right orientation?

#902

Yes headphone is working and caps are in right

#903

Received the SMD-Ready board plus case this weekend and built in a a few hours. Amazingly easy build, and more amazingly everything seems to work on first try. Now into the rabbithole…

Does someone want to be a guinea pig and test a modified update archive?

https://github.com/okyeron/fates/releases/tag/v2.2.6

#908

Just burned a backup last night so I can try when I get home in a few. Any particular feedback you’re looking for?

Wanna make sure my variation on the samba install goes without issue. so keep an eye on the terminal output if possible.

#910

Not yet :stuck_out_tongue:

FWIW, I do note from looking at the archive that it contains MacOS “._*” files
