These amazing cases were hand built by @Smoth as a set for my friends and I. I would suggest first talking to him to see if there are more available or in the works. If not, let me know! I might have an unclaimed one (can’t remember if it’s a 3 or 4 hole).

I have had both thonk knobs(2 different styles) and DJTechTools chroma knobs. I 100% prefer the chromas. Just my 2 cents!

Same display but wrong interface. These have a Molex plug so you’d need to hack together a few adapters.

Don’t buy this one. It’ll likely end in frustration. (And it’s a bit more expensive)

I ended up ordering mine directly from the manufacturer. I confirmed that they ship internationally, though the shipping appears fairly expensive (~$30 to Germany) Here’s the link: https://www.newhavendisplay.com/nhd2712864wdw3-p-9547.html

This stumped me for longer than it should have. It might be worth updating the update directions to explain this error is expected…

#1001

I just put my Fates together using a full kit from @okyeron - thanks for making all this available! Was a really easy build.

Everything seems to work fine so far, but when I send Fates to sleep, it says “sleep.” and stays on that screen. Anything I could check to find out what’s causing this? The screen should turn off after a bit, right?

#1002

this is normal behavior. peep the fates faq for a quick explanation: https://github.com/okyeron/fates/blob/master/FAQ.md

Perfect, thanks! I had only checked the troubleshooting and didn’t find it there.

I just updated the docs to add the FAQ last night, so it’s no wonder you missed it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Out of general curiosity, do we expect all future updates of FATES to be done through command line or do we expect a return to the norns menu based system?

#1006

Short answer - it depends on the update

(Not really any longer answer - its complicated)

Hey @jimi23!

I asked in a comment to your PR adding the STLs to the fates3d_case repo, but I’ll ask here as well:

Can you please upload your Fusion 360 files that have the usbc port and the 4th encoder hole?

Thank you!

It’s alive! I was terribly nervous as this was my first serious electronics diy project, and on my first go I soldered both headers on the wrong side of the board, but it all seems to work. Woohoo!

Has anyone ran into these:

  • error: load fail when loading ash/playfair, moln, step

  • error: missing ZSines when loading we/test/fonts

Cheers!

#1010

playfair requires Ack to be installed.
Moln requires ‘r’
Step requires Ack, but gets stuck on loading screen? Expects a grid?

And not sure why the font test requires an Sc engine… Norns big?

pushed a fix for this. (answer: b/c it used to be that all scripts required one, but indeed ZSins is an extremely arbitrary choice)

For some reason fates does not accept this diy arc and shield sees it as a Grid.

Running Orca on a WW works without a problem…

What could I test?

The diy arc project is here

GitHub

Another thing is I would like to know if there is any information when the image for a rpi4 will be available for the shield. On fates it is available and working fine.

#1013

from the github:

Please note: if you encounter a problem, please do not post on the monome forums ! Tehn will surely help you, but I don’t want my clone to cause them trouble and work. I’m very happy that they make their protocols open and I would like them to continue to do so in the spirit of openness.

but i’m going to contradict this— i can’t help— i actually have no idea how the DIY arc works and i don’t have time to go figure it out— i am focused on the core ecosystem which benefits everyone.

elsewhere, yes, please read the thread. it’s not a huge priority for us because we’re never planning to design anything that leverages the extra CPU power of the pi4, as the actual norns hardware uses a CM3.

please remember that most new features on norns are a product of volunteer effort.

The one I built worked absolutely fine with Fates and Ansible, with no modifications to either. Have you confirmed it working elsewhere, i.e. Max? Did you follow the instructions for assigning the serial number and made sure it was the proper length and format?
