pijuice won’t work:

PiJuice will use up to just five of your GPIO pins (just power and I2C),

Not enough available GPIOS and there’s likely be conflicts with how things are currently assigned.

Hi, hope you are doing well and safe.

Sometime ago i build a 64 fates and @okyeron and me could never figure out what the deal was. Frustrating since there are some great 64 scripts out there.

So after a few months i have tried, and no deal.

The only scripts that works its @okyeron “Grid Test” script.

Any one can think of what might be going on? Someone how can figure this out?

Here is a video showing the process…

Hoping some one can think of something :frowning:

#1694

This may be better suited to the neotrellis grid thread?

What other scripts have you tested with? What happens when you do? Keeping things simple should be best: Awake? Loom?

#1695

sorry wrong thread! i hope the moderators cáñales the change…
@okyeron i have tried all…none work, it’s a led feedback problem. the button presses are recognised fine by norns but the leds don’t work normally i’m the grid. very erratic…like it’s stuck on row 1

#1696

I really don’t remember what we tried before and I can’t find previous messages. Perhaps send me a new DM?

#1697

i will thanks @okyeron!

I was wondering if the app Pedalboards may be compatible with this release. I am waiting for Fates to arrive this week so I still have no way to try.

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

#1699

Fates is up to date with the most recent norns release (it’s usually in sync within a few days of the official releases) so yes…

Pedalboard should work great. (I did some of the work on clouds/rings pedals from my Fates)

Thanks a lot :relaxed: i can’t wait to try it…

#1701

did you ever get anywhere with this usb power issue?

#1702

Not power per se. it’s something with usb devices that have HID interfaces causing some wierd stall.

I have a Software fix you can try - whenever I wake up.

Otherwise unplug usb devices when you reboot

oh ok, thanks. ill try it. yeah, i’ve been leaving them unplugged each time i boot up but it’s pretty difficult to get them recognized afterward, so i haven’t really been able to use midi out or my bluetooth keyboard much

Hi everyone
I wanted to ask a few questions here:

1) To route audio from Fates to modular is convenient use something that brings the volume to the line level?
2) To route audio from Modular to Fates do I have to use an attenuator or is it sufficient to lower the input level from the LEVELS mixer? I don’t remember reading that the audio from the modular could somehow damage the NORNS / FATES.

I have noticed that the output from some scripts comes out lower but and sometimes the gain from the FATES mixer seems not enough.

i use a mutable-intruments EARS as modular level amplifier. can it go well?

Thanks in advance

  1. unless you don’t mind working at a lower volume than the rest of your modular an amp would be best.
  2. I’d use an attenuator before the input to avoid clipping.

Thanks for the answer:)
I decided to route the norns’ outputs directly to a mixer. I read in some posts that it is not a good idea to mix line and modular signals to avoid damaging the audio codec.

I have a fates with a wobbly rear power jack which I still haven’t gotten round to reflowing.

In the meantime I just tried powering it via the usb-c on the RaspberryPi and it seemed to work fine (using the headphones output).

Is this ok practice? Anything to be weary of?

#1710

Totally fine practice to power from the RasPi.

if i swap out the the pi on my fates, do i have to do anything as far as system settings/re-installation? or should it work fine, since i’m using the same sd card?

I just realized my wifi is giving me problems again and was thinking maybe i was supposed to setup the localization options in the fates install notes again or something.

everything else seems to be fine

#1712

wifi configuration is one instance where the hardware matters. (DHCP lease is associated with MAC address.) so you will likely need to delete and re-add the network when switching brains.
