installed the FTDI driver but mine still only shows after re plugging after boot up. All apps work fine, and the monome stays connected, but it used to always show up after boot up
can you be more clear? if i understand, the problem is that it doesn’t show up when you boot up with it plugged in?
correct that is the problem. After i plug it in it shows up everytime every app both in max for live and max 7, until i restart or shutdown the computer then i have to plug it back in
Is this just a fix for per-2013 devices only ? I tried out of curiosity on a early 2015 with no look fyi, thanks for looking into this
early 2015 should’ve never had a problem to begin with. you’ll need to let me know exactly what you’ve tried already.
My monome greyscale 64 Just doesn’t appear in any max patch or Mark eats, it appears in the terminal I think it may be related to the dev string fix in another thread, I’ve tried a lot of things installing FTDI drivers and serial osc in multiple combinations and uninstalling everything and trying again but no show
install this: https://github.com/monome/serialosc/releases/download/v1.4/serialosc-1.4.pkg.zip and this: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriver_v2_3.dmg
reboot
terminal, type:
ls /dev/tty.usb*
paste output here
open activity monitor, check for serialosc processes, list them here.
serialosc
/dev/tty.usbserial-m64_0716
There you go no show for monome in max or mark eats after following your steps
Any more info on this yet? Thanks
apologies-- it seems that installing the older FTDI driver didn’t fix the problem for you the same way it did for me and for a few others users. we’re still working on the serialosc fix.
which device and year are you using?
Hey sorry for the late reply on this the device im using is a Greyscale 64, not to sure on the year as I purchased second hand, do you know how I can find its serial number then maybe you can figure from that? Thank you
gs64 is sufficient in this case, thanks.
Wanted to say i had a change with my monome. I didnt update anything and ive been using it alot. I can only plug it in once after reboot and it shows in max, if i unplug it and replug it wont see the monome in max for live or max or the terminal, but it shows in system profiler. I have to restart and wait to plug it in after the computer is on.
in terminal it says no such file or directory
can i assume you’re using 10.13 as you posted in this thread?
it looks like your serialosc.maxpat is very old. install max 7, try the monome package, see if it works.
if it doesn’t perhaps try installing the old FTDI driver as instructed above.
i installed the serialosc1.4 pkg and the old ftdi driver you listed above, but it hasnt changed anything. I can only plug it in once, or i have to restart the computer. It shows in all the max 7 package patches, but after i replug it wont show in any of the patches until i restart and plug it back after the computer is on. after i plug it in again it comes up in the system profile twice.
mbp 10.13.1 monome 128 (2011) max 7.3.4
No way
@tomme is this a first time install or did you upgrade? what device? need more information to help.
I can probably help do some QA as well since I have access to a 128 grid as of yesterday. Been putting off upgrading until I had a good reason.
with QA hat on i would wonder how many of the failure cases are:
i have a 2016 mbp and two different usb adapters from apple, one with a display port/power and one just a straight usb port. the bigger adapter has dropped packets and connection issues - it loses usb devices when it sleeps, and audio interfaces exhibit audible dropouts. the small adapter is fine.
I used serialosc and monome in past MacOS versions since 2011. I have a 128 - year 2011. I wrote also in the other post in this forum…
