Yes, step by step.
I don’t know where to search atm. Now I can’t access the FTDI chip because i think when you program the serial it’s blocked. Maybe make another USB board and check if all is OK. So stupid i sold my original arc 4 and that 3 years ago. Then I could compare…

The fates disk image is built from the stock raspbian Buster release (which supports pi4), while the norns images are built from monomes own custom linux branch. That Monome branch is meant for maximum compatibility with the norns hardware first and then the new shield.

Pi4 requires a different set of compile instructions than pi3 due to the different processors used.

If I had more time available I’d try to recompile the various linux sources for pi4 + shield, but life is a little too busy for that right now.

#1017

I respect everybody who is working on these fine products like norns / Fates / Shield and fully understand.

Many thanks for the joy of playing with these

UPDATE WARNING

Once again, do not run the on-device SYSTEM>UPDATE - it’s not compatible with Fates at the moment.

I will post an updater with modified script later today (January 21, 2020).

I updated my fates using the latest firmware posted about. I used cyber duck to drop it into the update folder. Then I removed the wifi dongle and went to system/update where it found the file. Updated and it got to completed, then blank screen. After a few minutes of blank screen I powered off, then back on. Still blank. The led in the front is lit though. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? Thanks!

#1021

Can you be more specific? Which firmware? The one from monomes GitHub or the one from my link above (the fates GitHub page)?

If the former, you’re hosed and will need to reinstall from disk image :frowning:

FWIW - I’ve not tried the method you described to update.

The one just posted in this thread. Retracing my steps, I may have been confused by the update instructions. Was it drop it in the update folder, then follow the instructions after the ssh version?
Version 200221

#1023

The update should be done via SSH. Instructions on the update release page above. If the directions are confusing please let me know how I can make it better.

Not sure what to suggest. I can try to help troubleshoot in DM in about 30 mins.

#1024

Gotcha. I misread the instructions as sftp or ssh. Not sftp then ssh. Will try to reinstall the disk image. Thanks. Sorry for my poor comprehension.
Update. All fixed. Reinstalled and updated as per instructions. Thanks again.

Hello ! how can i get a pcb for this project ?

#1026

Check the first post, info there.

#1027

i saw that but the link seems broken :

Please see the Fates Commerce Thread for more info on purchasing PCBs and Kits.

– > Oops! That page doesn’t exist or is private.

Thank you for your answer though.

#1028

You have to be active on the forum for a while to have access to the trade subforum. PCB’s and kits are available from the ship though:

#1029

that would explain it :wink: thank you !

#1030

Bare PCBs are out of stock for a couple weeks (Chinese New Years is holding up production of boards on order)

#1031

no problems - that’s giving me a bit of time to find a display … seems out of stock in a lot of places.

#1032

Update to 200121 went very smooth but then discovered that I had no sound. After trying a number of things, I noticed that the update had turned my volume down to zero. Turned it back up and everything is grand. :grinning:
