That’s one way. You could also use an FTP application to move folders with new scripts into the dust/code directory. The library category here will allow you to view scripts that people have written for Norns:

https://llllllll.co/tags/c/library/norns

From there you can usually download a zip file from the post.

Was using cyber duck so would be my preference.

Can i just delete all the apps i have inthere at moment, using the ftp app? To get. clean slate as it were?

using git on the command line you really won’t need to know much more than a small handful of commands. in case anyone wants a quick walkthrough, let’s install @Olivier’s dunes script:

ssh we@192.168.1.90

note that your ip address might be different and should be used instead of mine

then enter pw sleep

change directory to where the scripts are stored:

cd dust/code

head to dunes’ github page, click the green button on the right named ‘clone or download’ - copy the web url for the repository.

back on the command line:
git clone https://github.com/oliviercreurer/dunes.git

if ever there are future updates to dunes, you can install those:
cd dunes
git pull

to change directory up a level, ie return from dunes to the code directory with all the other scripts:
cd ..

at this level you can uninstall dunes:
rm -rf dunes

i find this method a lot simpler than using an ftp application, especially for updating scripts. hopefully it isn’t confusing to follow.

I’m no expert but I had a similar problem and it was because I had duplicate engines. I solved it by restarting SuperCollider - open the sc post window, connect to sc, type ;restart in the command line window at the bottom. You should get an error message saying what the duplicate engine are. Then get rid of one and ;restart again.

Thank you @jemfiner . I actually did some digging on this help forum and solved it by reinstalling the engines after deleting them first using sftp. If this happens again I will try your solution as well.

Been trying to copy audio files to the Norns but I’m at a complete loss… Can anyone point me in the directions of a manual for this? or does anyone have a quick tutorial?

Many thanks…

Also for some reason I can’t seem to connect to my home wifi? It stalls out saying activating then the name of my WIFI just disappears? and on the system page there is no sync option?

Any help would be great…

I just had exactly the same problem yesterday and restarting my router fixed it. If this doesn’t help, you might try the TTY/USB-UART connection if you’re comfortable with that - see the posts from about 2 weeks back for details.

Anyone have success using a monologue with their norns? Running MIDIIn.connectAll in maiden’s SC REPL confirms both its ports are visible (before it throws an ALSA availability error, anyway), and it shows up in the system menu. However, I can’t seem to receive any events from it in Lua.

If it has multiple ports it is possible that norns (matron) can’t see the correct one. (Though SC can - different API.) This is an open issue, it’s pretty silly really. I recently got hands on a multi port device… So in theory can find time to try some fixes soon

Cool! Maybe I can poke around and see if I can find a fix myself, hopefully save you some time.

Ha wow, issue is getting old!

Oh wow, this one had a decent discussion around it, doesn’t seem like low-hanging fruit. Probably over my head but I’ll see what I can figure out…

I’m so sorry for my newbie stupidity but I can’t seem to get past upgrading my Norns… or MLR

Does anyone have the time for a one on one tutorial? I can pay for training…

I just need to update my Norns and update MLR but I’m stuck at connecting to WIFI and what to do with Maiden…

Crazy frustrating cause I love how MLR works but not being able to just connect the Norns to a computer and drag and drop files seems crippling to the hardware… or maybe it’s just me missing something obvious…

Any help would greatly be appreciated…

Something that helped me a ton was getting a usb to Ethernet adapter and plugging my Norns and my computer into my router. I had so many WiFi problems. Then you can use Cyberduck, Transmit, etc to move files around, and it basically is drag and drop at that point.

Will this work if you have your Norns as a hotspot as well?

Also what files do you actually drag in from Github… I guess the frustrating part for me is I’m honestly not the most computer literate but I love the Grids/Norns interface and having an instrument that’s all about muscle memory…

It will, you just need to have all the files downloaded because you won’t have internet when you connect to the hotspot!

On GitHub look for the Clone/Download button to download a zip file. (Also, the posts in the Library section should have download links so you don’t have to mess around with GitHub. If they don’t, the script authors should fix that.)

The folder on your computer will end up being called scriptname-master - rename it to scriptname on your computer so it looks right in the Norns menu and to avoid any weirdness.

@chorus7, I’ve thrown together some (preliminary) targeted documentation to hopefully get you going: https://github.com/monome/docs/wiki/norns:-distilled-help

if you need further assistance, please feel free to email help@monome.org and we’ll walk through troubleshooting the process :slight_smile:
