Thanks. I’ve tried all the permutations. Wifi and Hotspot. The local name and the IP. Maiden works. It’s the Matron window that refuses to connect. I can connect on iPad and Safari tho. I’m sure as usual I’m missing something obvious :slightly_frowning_face:

Sorry - forgot to ask. Which version of Windows are you using, which browser, and what version of the browser.

Does the Windows machine have a firewall turned on which prevents outgoing network connections on non-standard port numbers?

The way the command line connection stuff works is a little unusual. It looks at the location where maiden was loaded from and then it tries to contact matron/crone via websockets on specific ports…

Windows 10, and all browser versions are current. But might have a sw firewall blocking ports. In fact that would be totally be like me! Do you know which ports it’s trying to hit?
At any rate I’ll take a look when I get home - thanks so much for the lead, it sounds like a good one.

By default maiden is trying to connect back to the device on ports 5555 (for matron) and 5556 (for crone / supercollider).

So this was weird. Tried everything without changing anything: same result.
Turned off windows defender firewall and tried. Chrome worked for matron/sc, edge and firefox did not.
Turned Firewall back on. Chrome still worked. Ok… Restarted Surface and Norms just in case. Chrome still worked. So not sure what to make of that.
Did a complete reinstall of Firefox, and now it’s also working with the firewall on. Edge still won’t connect to matron/sc.

Anyhow I’m set even though I don’t have the warm fuzzy feeling of fixing it since it’s not really making sense.

Thanks for you help - I’m good now regardless!

quick question: how much work is it to customize maiden’s keyboard shortcuts?

context:
my laptop is doubling the size of my gear corner, which is actually just “half of my dinner table”. if i were able to just use my ipad + bluetooth keyboard to use maiden i could reclaim enough space to seat a third person.

it totally works except for two things:
1-text scrolling/highlighting doesn’t work as it would in other websites
2-ios stupidly has non customizable keybindings for bluetooth, one of which is cmd+p for print.

i can work around 1, but 2 drives me crazy enough to give up.

so i’m poking around the git at work and i found this:

would modifying the keybindings to this on my local norns help me resolve issue 2?

i don’t want to take away any bandwidth away from any of the other backend issues with norns, just looking to see if this is as simple as changing this file or if i’m looking at learning how develope for the web to be able to conceptualize the changes i want to make?

Looking at Windows browsers (Win10) for maiden - I’ve noted the following:-
Edge - no good
Internet Explorer - no good
Chrome - ok
Opera - ok
Firefox - ok, seemed quick
Vivaldi - ok, seemed quick
Chromium - ok
Tor browser - no good
Safari - no good

when I say no good - simply didn’t work. Edge, you can see maiden flash up then disappear. Note setup was pretty much default settings. I liked the look and feel of Firefox and Vivaldi and as noted I thought they were quite snappy. In fact, I ended up using both, as when working with maiden I noticed quite often some functions - e.g. like renaming a file just won’t do it. So I quick flip over to the other browser - rename works fine. So I stay there until the next quirk - then flip back (?)

I too run into this fairly often and have found that refreshing the browser seems to fix it.

The primary browsers which were tested during development were:

  • Chrome (macOS, Windows 10, Linux)
  • Firefox Quantum (macOS, Windows 10)
  • Safari (macOS)

There have been various references to file rename operations not working here on lines, enough that a GH issue was opened up: https://github.com/monome/maiden/issues/127. Until that issue gets addressed the best bet is to save the file and refresh the browser window.

#83

If I happen to generate 3 or 4 untitled .lua scripts and need to do a refresh I often lose them.

#84

Did you either save the untitled scripts or ran them (which also saves them)?

#85

Doh! that’s it :disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved: thanks!

I just started using Coda. Local/remote fie management is indeed a breeze.

Question though: I can’t seem to get the remote path set quite right. The remote pane always opens to the /home/we/ directory.

I’ve tried various combinations of the following:

/home/we/dust
/home/we/dust/
/dust
/dust/

In all cases it opens to the /home/we/ directory and Lua scripts I upload always end up in /home/we/ .

I’m sure I have configured it incorrectly. Any cure?

Thanks.

BTW: I was using IntelliJ’s PHPStorm (used it in a past life). Worked fine, but I could not get the code highlighting settled. Also tried Visual Studio Code, but could not get SFTP configured. Lovely code highlighting though.

Coda seems to have it all for norns script dev.

As we transitioned into 2.0 I suddenly felt very out of my league and backed up out of the room while the adults figured out the adult problems.

This was the face I was making --> :grimacing:

That said, I’m only now realizing I’ve missed the giant beta 2.0 thread, so I have designs of taking the beta plunge tonight and I’ll report back asap!

Aw! That makes me feel better. You were real busy in the beginning!

I had so many aspirations and so little skills, but I’ve at least skimmed EVERY single git commit to stay somewhat informed (and to further validate my decision to stay quiet and listen).

It certainly didn’t help that my lines visits started heading in the i2c/modular/er301 camp instead of norns.

Wait for the new beta that should be ready for tomorrow, so you won’t have to pull the corrections since the start of the beta!

is there a way to update maiden without rebuilding?

#92

get one of the releases and unzip it to your home folder (it should live in /home/we/maiden): https://github.com/monome/maiden/releases

#93

many thanks will do now
