Shoot! It works for me through tty.usb. I’m watching lines with enthusiasm waiting to hear others’ workflows!

I’m trying to ssh over wifi (ssh norns.local) and, though I’m knocking, it just won’t open the door.

Regardless, thanks for the support! :slight_smile:

#84

Hmm… I just tried the following…

  1. Enable Hotspot and connect to norns

  2. ssh we@norns.local

  3. we@norns.local’s password: sleep

Seems to work on this side.

I take back my previous failure. After refreshing everything, I was able to ssh into the box over wifi successfully using those credentials. Apologies for any alarm I may have caused. I’m in!!

THANKS!!!

for navigating around while logged in, i highly recommend installing midnight commander (package mc), a really nice terminal-based file manager inspired by norton commander, which can also be configured to have lynx-like navigation.

Finally got mine! :smiley: Soooooo small, very impressed!

Question:
Is there anything that needs to be done to get a grid working with norns?

I am in the awake app, and its playing away, if I plug in my grid, nothing happens.
If I plug my grid into a computer, I see the grid lightsflash animation around the USB port. But nothing when I plug it into norns.

Any ideas?

#88

Any of the apps that support grid have all been plug and play from my experience. You can also see the standard ‘light burst’ when you have a grid plugged in before (and then while) powering norns – you’re not getting feedback through any of the USB ports?

Hi Dan, thanks for your help! That’s right, no feedback from any of the usb ports on norns.
I only get the ‘light burst’ if I plug the grid into a usb port on my computer (at work now so its just a random workstation).

Could it be grid related?

#90

if same grid and cable works on computer but not on norns, i would contact brian directly.

first of all
these questions are not urgent

i’m not familiar with ssh (i dug into similar territory with the organelle a few times but it’s out of my comfort zone)

i am curious, what tasks are only possible by ssh access?
are there certain things I should avoid?
if i manage to erase data or crash something how do I fix it?

basically is it possible to accidentally ruin my machine? i’m guessing no…just wanna be sure

#92

I’ll try my grid with my modular tonight just to make sure its working as expected. I’ll contact Brian after that.
Thanks zebra!

currently: editing anything besides lua files directly (including SC classes), starting/stopping processes (including scsynth and sclang), tweaking audio system settings (like .jackdrc), compiling / debugging the low-level components.

editing SC classes with maiden is something we’re working on.

it is not at all difficult to make your system unresponsive by messsing with it from the shell. as a last resort you can re-flash the filesystem. (this process will be documented very soon - requires some disassembly of the enclosure.) it’s unlikely that you can do any damage to the hardware.

(i’d say if you’re not used to working on linux from the command line, prepare for some frustration/learning curve.)

cool thanks

it will be a while before i need that feature (if ever)
just checking to see what’s what since a few folks were talking about it

#95

Quick question @tehn : how does one go about clearing recordings from the /tape folder specifically?

I tried syncing to USB from Norns, after which I plugged that USB drive into my computer and deleted /tape recordings I didn’t need anymore. I subsequently plugged that drive back into Norns and synced from USB, only to find that my original /tape recordings were still on disk.

Main reason I’m asking because I goofed today and inadvertently made a 30 minute recording!

Much appreciated - thanks!

I had a moment when nothing showed on the grid when connected to Norns, and when I touched a pad, it started working. Worth a shot

It works most of the times when switching between module and Norns, but with some applications it doesn’t.

#101

I was able to delete/rename from tape via maiden if that helps, @Olivier
