do you have some code for sc and/or norns for shbobo shnth to share? :slight_smile:

#53

i’m just talking about using the shnth as a HID controller. it’s not very exciting.

the buttons send event type EV_KEY with code ranges from 304-311 (which AFAICT is pretty atypical and the type probably “should” be EV_BTN.)

the barres send ABS_REL with code ranges 0-3. (ABS_X, ABS_Y, ABS_Z, ABS_RX.)

i get a couple bits of noise on ABS_THROTTLE as well, might be the antenna, which doesn’t work so hot on this unit.

my shnth is a really old prototype with some quirks, so it might not be very helpful as a model. anyways hope that helps somehow.

norns code is straightforward

local hev = require 'hid_events'
shnth_handlers = {
   hev.codes.ABS_X = function(value)
      -- do something with barre 0 value
   end,
   hev.codes.ABS_Y = function(value)
      -- ... do something w/ barre 1 value
   end,
--- etc: more barres

   304 = function(value) 
     --- handle button 0
   end,
-- etc: more buttons
}

function init()
   -- assuming only shnth is connected
   hid.connect().event = function(evtype, evcode, value)
      shnth_handlers[evcode](value)
   end
end

Since i am hanging around the house more lately i thought i’d explore using the SHNTH in tandem with the Norns and to my joy when i plugged it in it shows up in the Norns menus under HID.

I am going to browse through this thread but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s checked this out yet as well.

in literally the last post i show how to get buttons and barres. not sure about the antenna but i think my unit is a little woogly there.

I started doing some gentle poking around Supercollider for text-to-speech stuff - looks like the speech module’s since been deprecated, since it was macOS only? Did you have any luck?

#58

Haven’t got round to doing any SuperCollider stuff for a while. I was thinking SAM or LPC style. Definitely lo-fi.

Would require custom plugins, which I’ve yet to attempt.

So my dream has to be able to use the wii nunchuck for years and Addac had a module to incorporate it but I never had the spare cash and other priorities took over, its a HID device no? Has anyone tried it?

#61

Wiimote is bluetooth and then I believe when connected it acts as an “input” device and I believe as an HID. (I need to re-build my bluetooth setup and test this again)

But - on norns for the moment there’s no way to interface bluetooth devices to the norns stack.

#62


Look promising - direct i2c lines

#63

You’d need something like this: wusbmote

(or wire up something similar with arduino/teensy/etc. to turn the i2c into HID - which is pretty much covered in your first link there)

paging @jlmitch5 for magic trackpad discussion

Are you trying hid-events.lua?

hid. is the system table for usb connected HIDs. Works the same as grid. or midi. tables to connect to a device, etc.

All that is defined in ~/norns/lua/core/hid.lua or in the norns reference at http://norns.local/doc/classes/hid.html

Ah cool got it! 20 char

AFAIK, there is no speech synthesis implemented in SuperCollider, the only way this was working previously, was calling external libraries from the language (not the server), which means that it is not possible to e.g. route its output through effects…

There’s some formant speech stuff in the Plaits engine (Macro P Oscillator) Mi-engines

#68

Sadly the word list is pretty limited.

I should make a map of values for the existing words/letters/numbers.

This isn’t the right thread for my query but it’s kind of relevant…

Did anyone come up with a solution for HID keyboards which register themselves multiple times? eg. Atreus 1, Atreus 2, 3 etc.

Despite having the keyboard show up many times in the HID list, I get no output from HID-KEYBOARD-TEST.

Frustratingly, I have had it work for me through various incantantions but I can’t remember the technique.

#70

No solution for the multiple HID-device indicators - but if anyone else has an issue with no output from the hid-events.lua, try to change the usb cable or power supply.

Did anybody manage to run the shell example? I can’t get print(2) to work. Already opened an issue on github but maybe somebody else in here could point me in the right direction :slight_smile:

It’s been awhile and I’m fuzzy on details, but the script is just sending an exec of whatever you type.

It’s not very sophisticated.

What are you trying to accomplish?
