Beatclock is just metros IIRC

see ~/norns/lua/lib/beatclock.lua

Ok. I just rolled my own thing off of metro, it works. I need to take the time to understand all the included scripts.

Iā€™m having trouble figuring out how to develop and explore on the supercollider side of things in an easy way. How do people do that?

It seems like my tweak a line, save and publish to see what happens I do on the lua side isnā€™t quite as simple for engines.

#489

option 1:
tweak a line, enter ;restart in maiden SC REPL, see what happens

(iā€™d recommend copying and renaming the engine class to something local to your script, e.g. dust/code/we/lib/Engine_TestSine.sc -> dust/code/zebra/lib/Engine_ZSine.sc - important to change class name as well as filename)

option 2:
develop engine on desktop first. this gives you syntax highlighting, completion, SC help files, &c.

norns core SC classes work fine on macOS and linux. @mimetaur made this nice gist documenting the setup on mac (which we really should link from / add to the official docs):

I got my own repo up but havenā€™t tested it on my device yet with the 2.0 release. Iā€™ll do that this weekend and make the post to Library.

what happened with the DX7 script? not updated?

Looks like @lazzarello says this weekend prior to your post.

does anyone know where the lua code for the ā€œlevelsā€ screen is located? wanna try and steal some code from that for a script I am working on.

#494

All of the menu stuff currently lives in a single file. This should bring you to the mix/levels section https://github.com/monome/norns/blob/954f26da8a0362b5d657df31de26820526fc3bfc/lua/core/menu.lua#L1291

i might suggest instead looking at the UI code inside the we folder.

yup, looking at both. just good to know how the levels menu are getting the live feeds from the ins/outs.

Hi! Iā€™m a new norns owner and started writing some scripts (have a bit of lua experience) :slight_smile: I have a couple of beginner questions:

  1. Can I use luarocks for third party libs?
  2. Is there something like fnutils (util functions for function programming style coding) on the norns? source
  3. Is somebody working on repl integration for vim? :smiley:

Norns: help
#499

sure. IIRC luarocks is installed by deafult (nope, i did not RC). currently if you want to stay distributable i guess you would want to point luarocks at the local script directory. (with --tree)

weā€™ve discussed including more libraries by default.
[ https://github.com/monome/norns/issues/479 ]

Penlight is the one that has come up. but fnutils looks like a strong candidate and i like that Hammerspoonā€™s libs are so focused and modular (albeit many are osx-specific.) (iā€™m wary of kitchen-sink libraries hiding performance pitfalls.)

not that i know of. REPL integration is via websocket by way of nanomsg. itā€™s not hard to make a new client, but where iā€™ve stopped short of doing a ā€œdemoā€ of this is in actually replacing the maiden connections. (itā€™s a simple pair socket; maybe some more complex topology is needed.)

Iā€™m not sure it is (?) - or At least I had to install manually on RasPi (as it might be new in the 2.0 build)

Also - I believe penlight is required for luarocks install - or maybe that was for ldoc? Apologies if I got that wrong

#501

Yeah, youā€™re right. Itā€™s not installed by default. Whilst it does offer a lot of possibilities it also comes with some challenges like how to get those deps installed for scripts and possible performance issues.

youā€™re probably right.

penlight is needed for ldoc but not for luarocks afaik
(penlight is one of the modules in their test suite, so if you run tests you will get it)

Hello everyone,

Iā€™m a professional software dev but new to Lua, so please forgive me if I get any of the Lua specific terminology wrong. :slight_smile:

Iā€™m trying to write a Lua library + sample host script to test it out. Iā€™ve created the start of my lib and have my host script pulling it in, but when I make changes to the lib, the runtime doesnā€™t seem to see my changes. It feels like itā€™s not clearing out the Lua VM or something. Like when I used to do web dev and had to aggressively clear IEā€™s cache back in the day. Anyway, would love some help from other lib developers on a good workflow for doing this sort of thing.

Thanks!

PS. Super excited I finally broke down and bought Norns. Loving it so far!

Use this format to include instead of require:

local libfile = dofile('/home/we/dust/code/FOLDER/lib/LIBFILE.lua')
