hi Ramon!

if you are able to perform the following functions, you should be able to get further:

nb. you can also use putty if you’re on windows.

once you do the serial login, try running nmtui for a graphical interface, which may have better luck connecting to a network.

#1819

Hey Dan! Thanks for the tip! I was able to perform the function you suggested, successfully achieving graphical feedback, however the graphical interface doesn’t show the available networks, am I missing something?

#1820

bugh – it sometimes surfaces networks that norns isn’t. so when you’re going to Active a connection there’s just the Wi-Fi header and that’s it? if so, sorry for the false lead on this one :confused:

what is your router config? WPA, WEP?

#1821

Yeah, it seems so.

I think my router is configured as WPA/WPA2.

Hello.
I am using the NORNS box with the ARCS controller.
I am using the script - MANGL, the version that is/was included with the Norns
I often run into an issue when i boot up the Norns, and it launches / resumes the MANGL patch and things are just frozen, or the Norns is doing what you would expect it to do but the ARCS is not displaying the correct lights, specifically, the lights remain stationary, fixed on the outer ring, when they should be rotating .
I can fix this issue by simply rebooting the Norns

Is this something other people are experiencing?
Does anyone have any tips to avoid this?
I have updated the OS to the latest version and the issue still occurs.
i would say somewhere around 25% of the time when i boot it.
It’s not a big problem at all and isn’t stopping me from working but if anyone has any knowledge to share, pls do.
thanks

This is not something that I have experienced. Does the arc stay frozen when you unplug and plug it back in?

In mangl only leftmost ring should rotate, the other three are stationary. Could you be thinking about Angl?

#1824

Hi.
it is Mangls and yes, its the left most ARC that i mean, so, the norns might say, 50% speed, but the Arc is not moving…
Ive not tried the unplug / replug as, the norns itself doesnt respond either in that case, knobs or buttons do nothign and the Mangl screen is locked, diplaying the text ONE with the 4 params in smaller txt underneath it
Again, it doesnt happen consistenly or enough to be a real problem. but im curious.
not knowing much about how the thing works, the only thing i can think of that might cause this is perhaps it doesnt like the samples im using, as in the format… and was wondering if it doesnt like 24 bit / or whatever Hz rates…?
thank you

@RamnFassn can you please either email help@monome.org or DM me your email address so I can set up a support ticket for you? :revolving_hearts:

Sure. Just sent you a DM. Thanks!

off-chance: try plugging the wifi dongle into a different USB slot?

and/or: try putting the wifi dongle in a computer and see if it detects? (in case of defective dongle, i can send you another)

@tehn Thanks for the tip! I tried putting the wifi dongle in both my computers (macbook Pro OSX 10.11.6 and Dell PC, running windows 7 in 64bits), after connecting the nub in my pc running windows, the system started searching for driver updates, it took a while to complete the task and there wasn’t available updates, so I removed the wifi nub from the PC and plugged again in Norns, after that the Wifi started to work!

I can’t believe I’m stumped by this but can someone spell out the steps for achieving sending MIDI from norns over wifi to Ableton on OSX? Try as I might, this is eluding me.

#1830

Can’t do midi over WiFi.

#1831

Ugh…well, that would be my issue. I was so convinced WiFi was possible. So my only MIDI out option from norns is hardwired with a USB-to-DIN interface, correct?

#1832

you can send osc over wifi, which could easily be converted to midi with a tiny max patch (or similar)

Thanks @tehn. Would there be any existing m4l modules for osc to midi? (I’ll start searching as well)

USBmidi to USBmidi (between computer and Norns) can be done via my 2host or the savillasoft usb host adapter.

(Or 2 usb to din adapters, or the iconnect midi devices I think)

I’m curious if there’s a tutorial for OSC to midi over WiFi in Max. Might be a cool way to get my head around protocols. It would also set myself up to create midi interfaces using a grid while traveling.

Is it possible to use maiden without wifi? I was wondering what was possible to do via USB, I can SSH using

screen /dev/tty.usb 115200

I noticed the start.sh maiden script, serving via port :5000 but I’m not sure how I can actually access it. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

  • I don’t necessarily need to use Maiden. I just need to see the logs of the running lua script so I can fix it.
#1837

screen gets you in via the USB-UART connection.

if you want to see the matron console (which is the lua portion) you can do this:

systemctl stop norns-matron
cd norns
build/matron/matron

now you can type commands into matron and see output from matron. there’s no readline in there so it’s very basic, but it works.

if you want to do side-by-side editing plus matron in one terminal you’re need to use tmux or similar.

also— if you’d like to dig in, @zebra originally wrote an ncurses maiden which ran on the command line. the web maiden “obsoleted” this, but i still think it’d be useful to revive: https://github.com/monome/norns/tree/master/maiden

i think it just needs IPC to be changed over to WS.
