Mi pare di aver visto 4 distanzia tori e altrettante viti, ma non saprei… domani controllo!

It happened again :frowning: black screen on startup
I attach the log thread

dmesg.rtf (28.8 KB)

I believe it’s not a screen problem but I’m trying to take the case apart again

#1899

A guess - Try restarting without any usb devices plugged in.

Thanks and thanks for the support:)
I’ll try the next time when the problem will recur.

p.s; I was wondering if you had the screen protector file in order to have it printed here by a friend of mine. question; does the screen protector have a knocker that would be useful to isolate the pins of the screen?

#1901

Are these PCBs slated for re-print or still available anywhere? I have been unable to find any current source, which is a shame because the kit looks so cool.

Ciao! Purtroppo non sono riuscito a montaRe bene il dac, non è che per caso incredibile sei di Roma e sapresti aiutarmi? (Ovviamente a pagamento)
Mi hai scritto in italiano e non so davvero a chi chiedere aiuto!

#1903

I believe there won’t be another run of Fates PCBs. But there’s the norns shield if you want to DIY a norns.

Ciao purtroppo non sono a Roma. Più di spedirmelo non so che dirti. Dove hai avuto problemi?

#1905

beautiful case :slight_smile: do you know where I can find the file for 3d printing?

#1906

Is this fixed ? Thank you

#1907

Hey Everyone,

I installed some scripts via ssh this afternoon and when i tried to launch them FATES said “error : suppercollider fail”
I tried to clean via maiden the files and uninstalled the scripts but it still doesn’t work. I also followed the “restart” in matron but it doesn’t say anything.
What can i do ?

EDIT : Nevermind I disconnected it from the power supply and it worked again.

#1908

Not yet fixed in the fates fork. Was waiting on the next norns update cycle.

I’ll try to look at this in the next couple days.

After plugging my Fates build in today, I found that I was having encoder issues… but only on the right most encoder. I can’t think of anything that changed but after looking at the encoder outputs on a scope, I noticed a LOT of switching noise coming from those encoders.

I pulled out some 0603 0.1uF SMD caps, soldered them in between the pins of the encoder, and tried it again.

And now that encoder is not having any issues at all!

I’m not sure if those are the best values, but they’re good enough for me to not have the volume of Haven glitch to 0.0dB and blast my ear drums.

I’m about to do the same to the other encoders now even though I haven’t seen issues on them. Switches get dirty over time and the SNR in our world is only getting worse so filtering sounds like a reasonable addition to any Fates build.

I included shots of my power supply, the parts I used, and my best attempt at the solder job.

I hope this helps someone!

EDIT: I should add: I was able to add these to the bottom of the board because I was lazy and didn’t trim the leads. BE CAREFUL if you need to do this on the top of the board! Don’t overheat those encoders!

Nice hack!

I’ve got 10n caps for filtering on the encoder of a recent project (based on the encoder datasheet I think?)

Smaller would have been better. I had no 0603 10nF caps.

#1912

This is wonderful! Thank you! My encoders are silky smooth and error free now.

#1913

This should be OK with «regular» sized ceramic caps as well right? I have a small stock of different values. Will try as soon as I have some spare time.

#1914

You inspired me! Put some 0603 caps in to the jumpy encoders on one of my fates, very happy with the results and now it’s time to do the second!

Nice work! Do you have a mouser part number? Would any 0603 0.1uf work? I.e. does it need to be around 16v

#1916

prob any 100n will work just fine. 16v and up is usually good for the 5v system

(apologies for this being a “problem” - just never had a chance to fix it on the board)
