I bought a PiSugarS Plus · PiSugar/PiSugar Wiki · GitHub thinking it would be the perfect match for my 191106 shield. It connects to the raspberry with the GIO pins. But it get stuck on “jack fail.” when booting with no other animation. It’s working if I change norns-jack.service to use an external souncard but fails to find the internal. I’m new to jack so I’m unsure if this can be solved by software or if it’s somehow related to the GIO pins that the pisugar and shield is conncted to?
Without the external battery:
192.168.1.68 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
0 [sndrpimonome ]: snd-rpi-monome - snd-rpi-monome
snd-rpi-monome
With the external battery (no external soundcard connected):
192.168.1.68 ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
When restarting with external battery connected I’m getting this output in the terminal:
