Either can be switched to a follower. Code for this has been written for Crow, and I’ve had success switching modes at runtime on Ansible. It is technically possible to have multiple leaders on an I2C bus, but it can be challenging to implement. In practice when experimenting with Ansible and Teletype as simultaneous leaders I have had mixed success – it can work fine for hours, but sometimes it can crash under even moderate load. Some work would need to be done on this to make it viable. Possibly this could require changes to follower modules, since a follower with a full I2C buffer / some other condition has the potential to hold the clock low indefinitely, stalling all traffic on the bus.

Ok thanks for the information!

So for the TXo+, I guess it might also be possible to add them to the bus using a dedicated TXo.lua script ?

Just ordered the one, but can’t wait to get a full murder one day.

Congrats on a fantastic looking new module! My empty 2hp has been foaming at the screws for this thing.

I’ll admit, stopping at one was difficult lol

correct. and to be clear, this is a lua script that lives in the firmware as a library. so it’s a firmware update. but @Galapagoose made it super easy (with some crazy macro stuff) to add i2c device support.

I can’t not give this a try. I’m not sure the best place for it in my system, but I’m looking forward to exploring.

Same here. First alone is really compelling, let alone combining this with grid, Norns, Ansible.

bravo :slightly_smiling_face:

My system is going to happily get smaller now

Coding is not something I have any experience in, currently, but I was curious if Just Type, via Ansible through Crow would be possible.
Could Ansible act as a midi host for Crow?

I’m also curious what MIDI devices @tehn tested. More specifically whether the OP-1 would play nicely.

The crow studies page say we need Norns version 190920 but I’m only seeing 190817 as the latest. Has 190920 been released?

#70

I’m pretty sure that he specified that crow is not a midi host. It will connect to Norns via usb but not other midi controllers to my understanding

#71

Could you theoretically run hundred rabbits Orca or Less Concepts from Norns -> Crow to i2c to Just Friends? without a laptop.

Yes - I want to use the Norns sequencers directly to Poly JF using Crow i2c. Wondering how easy it is to set that up. Even the Norns sequencers direct to er301 also, via i2c, with Norns as the midi host.

Looks like it’s not been pushed to the releases page, but the norns master branch is probably up to date with the new crow updates.

I would think an official norns update will happen when crow ships.

What a fantastic day! Just ordered one, had to hold back on two, most probably will get another.
Anyway, happy Crow Day to all!
