in case anybody missed the teletype 3.0 thread - grid integration has been officially released as part of the teletype 3.0 release, available for download here: https://github.com/monome/teletype/releases/tag/v3.0.0

now that the release is out my very next goal is to go over the grid studies, make sure they are up-to-date and add more (in the very least something on faders and paging and more examples of how to code certain things).

FYI
Despite all warnings i plugged my 2013 grid directly to TT and it works perfectly!

#483

it might work if not a lot of LEDs are lit, but it’s possible that it’ll freeze if your scripts result in going over the threshold it can handle. so yeah, if you make sure to only use a few LEDs (and/or use lower brightness) it’s possible to use it without powering grid externally.

#484

Finally got a grid on the way to use with the Teletype! Now I need to figure out how to power it. Was about to order an off-world but was wondering if the usb splitter thing that came with my BeatStep pro would work? Anyone tried this? Also curious if this would work in conjunction with a USB switch to have grid and keyboard connected at the same time.

#485

the main challenge for the Beatstep Pro splitter is the splitter goes from male micro-USB to 2 female micro-USB, while the grid has a female mini-USB port, so you’d need an adapter or uncommon cable in order to use it, but modulo that I believe people have had success with it?

The Arturia adapter works fine for me with the micro USB adapter. I posted a photo of the one I bought here

Don’t have a USB switch between keyboard and grid yet. If you find something that works please share!

@scanner_darkly had said something about a switch someone was working on and someone else in the forum spoke of one, but I’ve not seen any updates on such a device. Scanner?

I’ve got a bin of parts earmarked for a 3-way switch which includes external power and keyboard switching for the Teletype. The wind went out of my sails when I sold my norns…

You sold a Norns??? Why? I’m doing everything I can to NOT buy one in the first place…well until Crow is done and things on the dev side calm a bit more.

I’d buy a switch from you should you go forward on making them.

#490

I decided that being part of the early development process for norns would eat far too much time I could otherwise spend dreaming up esoteric sequencer apps for Teletype… oh, and making music :smile:

I will post the “schematic” for the switch this week. It’s really just a 4P3T “break before make” switch with some jacks and normalizations. It’d be cool to make a powered switch with footswitch control someday.

re: usb switch - it’s in production right now. i will share details in a new thread once it’s close to done. don’t have the price and timelines finalized yet, but hoping to be able to get it into people’s hands in a couple of months maybe? will also open source the files after the initial run.

@desolationjones - that would be great! the more solutions we have for this the better. the switch i’m working on is more meant for people who don’t want to DIY one.

Thanks Joe, adapter on its way. As for the switch, I will wait to see what scannerdarkly comes up with.

#493

This solution works like a charm for me.

edit:
I have an Intellijel tsp80 and also used an psu3 before. This shouldn’t matter right? But since others had less success with ubs switches, I mention it as a data point. I also had a smaller usb switch which didn’t work as the switching was digital, in contrast to this one which is mechanical.

no news at the moment i’m afraid - i will definitely share details as soon as i can! trying to do the responsible thing and wait for the production to complete first. keep an eye on this thread, when i post i’ll link it here as well.
